ReplyDeleteI was told by my great aunt that her parents met here. He was a camp counselor and she was in charge of the mess hall. They were married in 1904. Apparently, at the time they met, the camp was owned by Rev. Myron R Demming, a pastor of Tremont Temple. How long has this camp been in existence?:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! I don't know when it started but maybe the YMCA in Cambridge, Massachusetts, could tell you.
