Camp Mitigwa
Summer memories, musical and otherwise, from my favorite camp
Rangeley, Maine (1955 & 1956)

 


Tickling the ivories at an early musical gig (1956). I think you can imagine what this assortment of instruments sounded like.
Chet Cornog (sp?)is the counselor standing in the back playing the washtub bass. Nice guy.

cabin in 1955
These are my cabin mates from 1955. George Morse (right) was our counselor.
Sitting next to me is Cliff Terry. Directly in back of him is Jay Muehling.
Directly in back of me is Dick Davidson (a.k.a. "Webster," because of his estimable vocabularly).
The rest have faded in my memory.
If you recognize yourself (or anyone else), please send me an email.

cabinmates
  Here's my cabin in 1956. Once again, except for George Morse and Jay (sitting next to me),
the other names have retreated to an inaccessible part of my brain.

trip
Here we are, ready to embark on an extended and rather rugged canoe trip
traversing the beautiful Rangeley chain of lakes, including the famous Mooselookmeguntic.

mitigwa camp photo - 1955
This is our complete camp photograph, taken in July 1955.
You'll find me in the third row up, eleventh one in from the left,
looking awfully young for thirteen.
The blonde buzz-cut, creating the impression of baldness, certainly didn't help.
My cousin, Bill Hallahan, is in the second row up, the third in from the right.
He no longer remembers what was more interesting than looking at the camera.
If you see yourself in this picture, please send me an email
indicating where you are, both in life and in the photo.
(A tip of the hat to Dave Henshaw, back row, second from the left,
who identified "Webster" Davidson and Chet Cornog.)
