Oh my! What memories! I stayed at Yukelson’s one summer. My family mostly stayed in Holiday Bungallows on Strong Road in Ferndale. It was surrounded by blue berry bushes. Esther Sanderovitz a”h (who used to have a wall paper store in BP) would give a slice of blueberry pie to anyone who would bring her a pailful of berries.

Fun Fair was just a short walk away down Old 17.

I also went to Camp Bais Yaakov where the big treat of the week was to go to Julie’s. I was in Camp BY the summer of Woodstock. We woke up Shabbos morning and the place was full of HIPPIES who nebach were looking for a bathroom or some food. We didn’t go to Julie’s that Motzai Shabbos. We were tightly locked down that night.

Who remembers Melman’s Flaishig restaurant in Woodburn?

My friend still goes to Ganz. The bungallows there are older than everyone here put together!
