Thank you for lifting up this wonderful history and humor. Humor is an essential part of my family's way of being Jewish and navigating the world/

Mazel Tov! From the organ player from the rock band, "The Shape of Thyngs." 1966 (Avon Lodge and The Flagler); 1967 (The Brickman). We all agree, the best time of our lives.

Many memories - all wonderful. Even today, I try to recreate the dairy lunch I remember so well.

In memory of Hotel Rieger, the family-owned and operated resort that once was. Thank you to the thousands of loyal guests throughout the years, including kids attending summer camp - and, of course, our staff year after year.

Having grown up every summer in the Catskills in bungalow colonies, hotels and summer homes, I feel so connected to this area. Additionally, I went to sleepaway camp in the area. As a teenager and in college I worked at the Raleigh and the Concord so I am so excited about the new museum.

So happy to see this. We used to go up to the Granite and my mom's family used to go up every summer to one of the Bungalow colonies!
