ANOTHER BOB FREID RECOLLECTION

Myron Weintraub and his brother Dave made one scared kid's first sleep away experience tremendous.

I was at Pokono from 1963-1966. Dave was the Bunk 2 Counselor in 1963 and his Junior Counselor's first name was Leo. Myron arrived a few weeks late into Camp that summer and stayed in my Bunk 3.

Ken, Artie and Sam Brand were also in this bunk as Counselors. I believe that Artie was from Yonkers and worked at the Waterfront and Sam also had some specialty that he presided over for this summer.

Because of the positive experience that I had at Pokono, I went on to become a Counselor at another camp years later and also an Athletic Director and boys Head Counselor at a few camps and also worked for the American Camping Association for one summer.
