RED TIGHTS AND COLORWAR 1964

I read the "I remember" about me stating that my color war general (female staff-I do not remember her name) made me wear red tights during part of color war (1964), when the Maroon theme was Robin Hood & His Merry Men. I remember getting strange looks from the Kitchen help who at that time (I think) came from the Bowery "courtesy" of Mendy Vim. Well Here is the Picture from 1964 Color War. My legs are still that "good looking".

1965 MAROON COLORWAR OFFICERS

This picture was sent to me by Marv Fleischman, the boys head counselor in 1965.

I am in the middle and Marc Jonas, my Colorwar Lieutenant, is on the left. Perhaps it is Jay Goldstein on the right. The theme for our team (Maroon) was the Circus.
