A VISIT TO AIC

July 1964

 

In July of 1964, my sister Marion Hall visited the camp and took these photographs. I have included her captions and added additional information, when recollection served.

Alamoosook Island Camp -- an engineer rows over to pick up a visitor.

 

Waterfront with the "Temporary" in view. (For pre-1960s folks, the "Temporary" was an old row boat rigged as a hermaphrodite brig by counselors Carl Chase and Jonathan Hall. It actually sailed! The previous summer -- 1963 --, Chase and Hall trucked it down to Castine and sailed it to Hog Island and back).

 

 

Uncaptioned view of beach from in front of the Lodge. (The only camper I can recognize is Nancy Smith, in her trademark madras bathing suit).

 

Campers queue for lunch. [I am astonished -- at a distance of nearly 40 years -- to be able to recognize so many of the campers! From left to right, they are: Jim Farnham (who now lives in New Haven), Kate Scott, Johnny Simon, Trudy Zibit, Ross Zucker, unknown, Joanie Becker (deceased), Peter Tulipan, Andy Cook, unknown, Bridget Murgnahan, Queenie Hooper, Tony Fisher, and Nancy Smith]

 

 

Lunch on the beach. (Anyone have the names of the cooks?) Anyone remember the name of the dog?)
