This sad news from former boys camp Head Counsellor Willie Klein: Lyonel Mehler passed away in mid May. He was a long time camper, waiter, waiter counsellor and recruited many staff members for Camp Delawaxen over the years.
And this about Mehler from Bob Ganz, one Lyonel’s campers:
To the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky:
Comic song (as Bob remembers it from about 1957)
Seigenfeld (Arnie) went creeping out one dark and dreary night.
He crept across the campus and evaded Andy’s light.
(forgot the next line. Something like he went to the girls campus)
My feet are wet my clothes are damp, come quick my little wren.
For if the owner catches me, I might get fired again.
But all at once it opened wide and what to his concern,
But Mehler was inside and said “you will have to wait your turn.”
