Facebook is so amazing. I recently made connections with people I haven't seen since I was 15 years old! When I was young I spent my summers in upstate NY at different Bungalow Colonies with my family. In my teens we stayed in Monroe, NY at a place called Blueberry Park Bungalow Colony (remember the movie Dirty Dancing?) I remember when I was 12 years old (1969), I wanted to go to the Woodstock concert. I saw all the older teenagers walking along the road but of course my mom wouldn't let me go. I recently scanned old photos from my 1971/72 photo album and posted them on Facebook. We plan on having a reunion in the future. Here's a photo of me (in the middle) with my good friends Laurie and Barbara. After posting these images on Facebook I received some very nice comments. Here's one worth mentioning:
Norman Steinberg: 1/12/10 "Of all the pictures I have seen so far, your pictures are the best in bringing back the vibrancy and fun of Blueberry. Scary that I knew all the people in them. Today it is hard to remember the people I met yesterday. These pics are very special.

i was just looking up Blueberry as I remembered the name of the bungalow colony I stayed at...I believe I was there the same year as you! somewhere I have pics I must find of it... we had color wars and some sort of costume day...and went hiking to some old barns...
ReplyDeleteStumbled upon this while looking up Bungalow colonies of the 60's and 70's. I recognized you as well as my day camp mates of Laurie and Barbara. I still have the camp picture of that year. I was at Holiday Hill across the road. I was Sharyn Bernstein then. I also recognize Andy C and Shelly and her brother. Such great memories. So happy for your success.
ReplyDeleteI went to Blueberry Park in the late 60’s and remember the day camp and Apache races
