My sister was a counselor there summers of 54 and 55. Brother Jim (he could drive) and I would bring the staff pizza after hours and hang out at the pool with the counselors. Great fun...good memories. I heard of the Gripers, but was not sure where they met...somewhere down by the Crick, I think. You were riding the same bus route that I did for 11 of my 12 years in school...senior year I had a car and drove every day.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357642326031948302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891954.post-65697126492427011942015-10-26T11:46:06.497-04:002015-10-26T11:46:06.497-04:00My Family moved in to Camp Eastbrook quarters on o...My Family moved in to Camp Eastbrook quarters on or around 1961. We lived there for 8+ years. I know Valley road well since it was our bus route and I would ride my bike up and down this road to the natural spring to slake my thirst. Two Robinson families lived there as did the Andersons. The Oesterlings were my neighbors. There was a cinder pit just across the opening of Valley rd from Maitland lane and at the base of PAinter Hill where fishermen would park and traverse the path to the "Bass Hole" along the Neshannock crick. Sunset Valley road had a social club called The Gripers Club of which my grandfather was a member. My Grandmother worked at the pottery as well.
