Looking for Admin staff from the sixties: Arnie Haiman, where are you? Barbara the office manager here (how was I a manager of 10 unit clerks when I was 19???)

Last seen at the Silver Lake re-union in the mid 90s, Arnie was sporting dress whites as a JAG officer in the navy. He was with with Kenny Kaufman and Steve Suntag.
Hope life is treating you great.

Hey, Benny,
Yes, life is great, wishing the same to you.

I'm still debating attending as yours is the only response. Do you know of any others from my years--other postings seem to be much later (i.e., younger!).

thnks.
Barbara

Hi, I was a counselor in Unit 4 in 1966 and then TAC counselor in 1967. Two of the best 4 summers of my life (the other 2 were 1960 and 1961, when I was a camper at Narrowsburg). Best wishes to all.

Are you Barbara Langer? I worked in the Central Office under Bertha Dubow and Ralph Kreiss.

What a thrill to come across these messages! I hung up my Navy uniform years ago, Benny. Stu and Sharon, it was my cousin Ellen who told me about this website; do you remember her? I last saw you a long time ago when I was in NY visiting relatives, nice to know you're enjoying life.

Barbara, you were able to successfully supervise at an early age because you knew what you were doing and were always nice about it! What are you doing now?

Like many of you I suppose, I visited camp long after it had ceased being Wel-Met. Brought back so many memories.

All the best, Arnie

Yes, Sharon, I am Barbara Langer, now Levitt (although divorced over 10 years, never took back my maiden name because I didn't want to leave my children out there with a different name). We met in a supermarket in Suffolk County when I still lived there--do you remember that? I spoke to Judy Surks Steinberg recently--she married Dick Steinberg's brother. (She was my roommate my first summer)

Arnie,
My "career " evolved into Human Resources Administration, which was my favorite part of what I was doing at Wel-Met. I'm currently working for an airline, and hope they stay in business long enough for me to continue travelling around the world.

I have finally found my perfect match; he also loves to travel and scrounge around antique shops and tag sales. And he dances! Remember PineBrook? My daughter is here in New York, and recently blessed me with a grandson, and my son lives in Cambridge.

What are you doing, now that you are a civilian? If you know how to communicate privately, let me know and I'll share my email address.

Till next time,
Barbara

Barbara - terrific! my email address is ahaiman@usaid.gov

I am also a grandparent, and my wife and I are lucky that our kids live nearby. My direct line at work is 202 712 1147. I do some overseas travel as part of my job, and recently returned from Afghanistan.

Sounds as if life has been good to you overall, although I imagine the divorce was no picnic.

Hope to hear from you again soon. Arnie
