Suzanne Massel
Suzanne was at camp in 1977 and every summer thereafter until Alliquippa closed in 1982. Here are a few of the things she recalls most fondly. *The scent of Cutter and bayberries while hiding in the bushes during Relieve-O * Splashing the water off the floating dock at night to see phosphorescence * The sound of the halyards clinking against the masts of the Small Pointers * Rowing to Westpoint for a gigantic heavenly hash ice cream cone *Listening to Timmy Ulman tell the story of "Jelly Man" in the Dorm |  |
* Geetle
* Hiking the Presidential range of the White Mountains during an overnight hiking trip
* The sunny, crisp and breezy mornings that followed rainy days
* Seeing the Northern Lights
* Slow dancing to "Stairway to Heaven" and "No Woman No Cry"
* Hiking on the beach with Dick and catching his enthusiasm for birds and driftwood
* Evening activities (Fictionary, Feel Taste and Smell, etc.)
* The fizzy rainbow sherbet ginger ale punch during dance night
* Listening to Pink Floyd in the Vic room
* Hiking to Sewall over Morse Mountain and appeasing the troll under the bridge
* Body surfing at Sewall
* Three-fingered Willy
* Earning an Alliquippa sweatshirt for passing the Skipper's test
* Meeting some of the best friends in my life and collecting more good memories from six summers than many people have in a lifetime
