Camp St. Helene

[Patty]

Hi Joanne,
The house up the road for retreats and days off was St. Francis. It looked like St. Clare's near the chapel.It had a big field in front of it that we occasionally would bring the campers to for evening activities. Kevin Kennedy (the present owner of camp grounds) and his family now live in St. Clare's.

The name Pat Kingston rings a bell. What did she do? Did Miss Joyce have a niece nicknamed "Bubbles"?

FYI: "Bubbles" was not Miss Joyces' niece.

Anyone remember a counselor named Ms Mary Hume?

Nope, sorry.
The only "Mary" I know as a counselor is "Mary Toomey".[sp.?]

I know that house quite well.
I was so jealous of it in that they had a TV in there! lol

Anyway, the reason for this post ....
I think I may've found "Miss Paula" -- the swimming instructor from the last few years.
I stumbled across this > http://sched.sbu.edu/faculty/pscraba/
There's an email address attached to it and I think it *might* be the "Miss Paula" I'm thinking of, so I sent off a quick note & directed her to this website.
Here's hoping ....

Yup! That's her Cary. She'll be tickled pink with your note!
Wish I could find Mary T!!

You're right.
I emailed her & she answered, literally, in seconds ....
It is, indeed, her.
She asked how I found her, what I'm doing, etc.
She also said she would pass along my email to a couple of nuns.
Presumably, they've something to do with CaSH.

Made my day, her email did. lol
Hopefully, she'll add some stuff here, too.
I forgot to ask about pictures, but when she shows, I'll bring it up then.

Does the internet rock or what? lol
