my first memories of camp zoe, are from 1961-1963. as a small child, we {my family} would go visit my grandparents, the one named painter joe,was my grandpa, being so small the memories are few, but sweet, i remember the burro's that were always there,some days those burro's seemed awfully big, and the smell of the sealant grandpa used around the camp, the gravel bars,and big summer floppy hats blowing in the wind as you chased it across the gravel bars, wooden stools for the cafeteria, the showerhouse was not far from grandma and grandpa's cabin, one day while returning from the showerhouse to the cabin, the burro's were between the cabin and i. those burro's seemed awfully big and scary that day, my delemia was whether to wait until they left or run as fast as i could to get to the cabin. i don't recall exactly what i ended up doing i think a little of both, i waited and when that didn't work i ran to the safety of the cabin. i'll always love camp zoe memories they are about the only memories i have of my grandparents i miss so much. then as a teenager [15 yrs]i worked and lived at camp zoe for a summer,it was my good fortune to get to work with my great aunt fredia conway, the camp kids and staff loved aunt freida [the dark haired lady in your picture by the back step of the kitchen] and her cooking especially her cherry cobler i feel like zoe will always be a special part of my life. debra {conway}
