This site was established in fond memory of Alliquippa House, a summer camp which operated on the coast of Maine for 50 years until its closure in 1982. The site was launched in 2001 and is a collaboration of two former campers, Chuck Anderson ('76-77) and Mark Eisner ('73-80).

The site has grown as we've heard from camp alumni, most of them from the time we were at Alliquippa. We hope to hear from more of you, including those who were campers in earlier decades. We also hope people will send in photos to add to the galleries, along with their favorite camp memories, old issues of "Quipps," and other memorabilia.

If you have something you would like to contribute, or if you just want to say hello, please contact Chuck at chuck.karachi@gmail.com or Mark at boss_alwi@yahoo.com.

CAMP SONGBOOK--Will someone please give Charlie a nickel so he can get off that train? See this newly added treasure, a camp songbook from the 1960s (or thereabouts), in the "Quipps & More" section.

WELCOME BACK, TAY LEBLANC!--Alliquippa.net was delighted to hear this week from Tay Leblanc, a camper from 1969. Tay, who now goes by Christine Leblanc Hayes, reached out to us from her home in Vancouver. "I have very fond memories of that summer that I will cherish all my life," she writes. "I remember going swimming in the wee hours of the morning for flounders and I loved the lobster feasts we had every Friday with coleslaw and potato chips." Christine has four children and seven grandchildren, and has added her email address to our address list in hopes of reconnecting with other campers.
