Going to Camp Reinberg

Our Chicago home of Harding Avenue. 1948-1953

When we lived in our Harding house, there was a community recreation center just a block away from us. As kids we went to different activities, like ball games, cooking classes and craft classes. I learned how to make lanyards, and how to maker baking powder biscuits. My brothers participated in soft ball, ping pong, wood carving, or making model planes.

During the summers there was a two week camp where my brothers and I attended. It was the longest two weeks of my life! I had never been away fro my parents like that until then. I wrote home and on the weekend in between our parents came to see us. A much welcomed visit too, for sure.
