MARTY KOVE (Jeff Messinger)

In 1966, someone decided that the waiters needed a Counselor. At the time, we were bunked on lower campus. Marmaro, Greenberg, Mandor, Goldberg and I were all first-year waiters.

The guy who was our "counselor" was a struggling young actor from NYC whose claim to fame was the he could throw a softball harder than anyone alive. He also managed to get fired with about a week of Camp left. His name - Marty Kove, who went on to fame as a regular in the TV show, "Cagney and Lacey" and the movie, "The Karate Kid."
