I REALLY LIKED THE BOOK BECAUSE I KNEW NEIL IN THE 60IES. AT CAMP! I EVEN HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT.
I HAD NEVER KNOWN THAT HE HAD GONE TO CAMP ECHO LAKE BEFORE -- HE CAME TO MY CAMP -- TRAIL'S END TO BE THE MUSIC COUNSELLOR. WE KNOW AMY STEIN (DAUGHTER OF MORRY, OWNER) & HER DECEASED HUSBAND FROM THE TIME THEY LIVED IN TEANECK, N J. NOW THE OWNER, I THINK.
MY HUSBAND LEN, WAS A COUNSELLOR/WAITER AT CAMP ECHO LAKE IN THE TIME BEFORE WE MET, IN WILLIAMSPORT, PA.
MY FONDEST MEMORY OF NEIL WAS FROM A REHERSAL OF THE MUSICAL HE WAS DOING -- OKLAHOMA -- HE THOUGHT ONE CHURNED BUTTER BY PUSHING THE PADDLE THE WRONG WAY. HE WAS NOT EMBARASED WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE CORRECT WAY -- HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS FROM BROOKLYN, N Y & COULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO KNOW SUCH A DETAIL. I GUESS THAT IS WHY HE WAS A MUSICAN & I WAS A FARMER.
NEIL WAS A LOVELY PERSON, VERY MOTIVATED & DRIVEN -- THAT I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF! I WAS NOT EVEN SUPRISED WHEN HE "MADE IT" AND WAS ALL OVER THE RADIO A FEW YR LATER. I ALWAYS RECOGNIZED HIS TALENT -- IT WAS OBVIOUS TO ALL. HE HAD ALREADY WRITTEN & I WAS FAMILIAR WITH MANY OF THE SONGS THAT CAME ON -- AT FIRST I DID NOT REALIZE THEY WERE ON THE RADIO & NOT IN MY HEAD! I WENT OUT & BOUGHT THE 45 AT ONCE!
