ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To the 1999 web site edition:

My thanks to two members of the YMCA Camp Eberhart Board of Directors who made this web edition of this booklet possible: Tref Barillo for the layout, design and web posting and to Board Chair Ed Levy whose encouragement made this project a reality. The EB web site, under Tref's supervision, is a wonderful way to make Camp Eberhart's history come alive for campers, staff and alumni.
