Fred –
Happy Birthday.
I
cannot believe you are “just” 85. I attended Tall Timbers, White
Mountain, and Green Briar (counselor at all three – maybe the only one)
from ’62 to ’67 (camper, CIT, Jr. Counselor and Counselor). I taught
riflery and, at Tall Timbers, skeet shooting.
You imparted such wisdom and counsel then, to think that you were only 35 then is amazing. I learned a lot from you.
If
you remember, my wife Jeannie and I with our young son Matthew visited
Timber Ridge for a day back in the ‘90’s. You gave us the tour, and I
saw my old cabin plaque (Rolling Stones) on the Green Briar rafters (see
GreenBriar picture attached).
One
other story – one day in 1965 when I was a White Mountain counselor,
you and Herb came strolling along in the cabin area across from the pool
carrying a sledge hammer. There had always been this cement block in
the field, and it turns out this was a time capsule from 1955, the first
year. You and Herb broke it open and included in the stuff was a list
of first year attendees, which included my cousin Douglas Pollack. That
was pretty cool.
I
also started playing Frisbee summer of 1965, so this June marks 50
years of Frisbee playing. I have been playing and competing since 1965,
and perhaps that never would have happened without that summer
experience.
Regards,
Phil Pollack
