I remember Selly very cool guy, I also recall shooting with a 410 shot gun he had, I don't recall Ms. Mohr being a very good shot.
And as for her dancing, well I know "Dancing With The Stars" considered her , but I was never told of the outcome.
"Lombardi's"? Give me a nice Peking Duck Salad from the "China Grille" a Sharing Portion so Ms Mohr and Mr DeMello can enjoy it.
I have to go for a colonoscpy on Friday I shall scream "LONG LIVE SUNNYCROFT" as they put me under.

Selly is still kicking lives on the upper east side by my sister Lynn, she runs into him from time to time. He is a character for sure. I remember skeet shooting in the field across the road adjacent to the Blue Moon buildings I think its a housing development now . I know the lower corn fields that led to the river have houses now what a shame such nice country. The restaurant was not always Lombardis was a country wetern bar combo tough place as I remember.

Selly the entertainment director taught me how to dance as well as shooting rifles. He also took many of the pictures at the ranch including Scott's BarMitzvah - What a combination.
The name of the restaurant on the corner of 44 & 55 and Libertyville Rd. is "Lombardi's". It is a very nice Italian Restaurant which is run by the next generation.

Rich, the rink was on the way to New Paltz "Tilden Lake" was the name of the place. They have since filled in the lake and put up houses too bad lot of fun times there as well as sore backs and bottoms LOL. The only place close that I remember was a bed and breakfast at the crossroads on the way to New Paltz had a bar on the first level real folksy if you get my drift I dont remember the name. Do you remeber Selly the entertainment director.

This was a really interesting gallery as far as what was left there, very strange. Everyone just left like they were coming back the next summer. Odd. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading about everyone's experiences here. In a way, it is really depressing, all these memories just left to rot away. It's the first time so many people who had been to a location were 'chatting' and sharing on your site. Thanks everyone for sharing with all of us!

Oh my, LOOK at that tub! Hilarious. And BTW, the pics from ineedattention that show the parents AND a kid in the tub kinda weirds me out...being that it's a heart shaped tub...surrounded by mirrors....and shag carpet.

I can't believe how clean this bathroom is! Hideous shower curtain though. Weird how it's still there waiting for the next guest who will never arrive.

How sad. It is always so upsetting to me to see things left behind in these places, like everyone just walked out and will be back. Eerie.
