THE LONG WINDING ROAD TO WHITEFACE
by NANCY Russell
(NEW HOPE, PA)
IN THE SUMMER OF 1946 MY TWIN SISTER AND I ATTENDED CAMP UNDERCLIFF. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WITH MANY MEMORIES WHICH LINGER YET.
I STUDIED PIANO, RECEIVED MY PRO-MARKSMAN CERTIFICATE, SANG IN A CHOIR WITH ARRANGEMENTS BY FRED WARING AND AS A FINALE WE CANOED OVER TO THE BASE OF WHITEFACE AND WE ALL CLIMBED WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN WHERE THE VIEW FROM THE TOP WAS AWE INSPIRING. THE LAKES BELOW LOOKED LIKE PUDDLES FROM OVER 4000 FEET AWAY.
WE ALSO TOOK A MOTOR BOAT RIDE AND SAW KATE SMITH AS SHE SLIPPED INTO THE WATER TO ESCAPE FROM PRYING EYES.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT ARE THE 46ERS? DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE YEAR I CLIMBED WHITEFACE? I WONDER IF CAMP UNDERCLIFF IS STILL A CAMP FOR CHILDREN.
