07/03/2009 - CHICAGO, IL - Sad news to report: Sandy Takiff, one of the original campers of Camp Waupaca For Boys in 1951, has passed away. His obituary can be found HERE. To visit the guest book and leave a message, click HERE. If you were at camp in the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s, you may remember seeing an article about camp's first year pasted on the wall. The article mentions Sandy by name as being one of the very first CIT's! We recently discovered this article by visiting the Waupaca Publishing Company. Sandy attended a Chicago area reunion in May of 2003.
12/09/2008 - ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL - Ray Krysh, a counselor from 1972 - 1985, has passed away from complications of lung cancer. Ray was most often found in the CIT Village with his dog Sundance. Ray was the assistant program director at camp. The entire Camp Waupaca Reunion Group extends its' condolences to Ray's wife Marcia, and Ray's family. CLICK HERE to view the obituary. CLICK HERE to sign the guestbook for the Krysh family.
09/07/2008 - CHICAGO, IL - The mother of campers Don Gerowitz (1961-1965) and Rob Gerowitz (1964-1979) has passed away.

Loretta passed away Thursday evening, August 21. She would have been 94 on September 1. Loretta is survived by daughter Judy Kuklin-Roseman and son Steve Kuklin. The entire Camp Waupaca Reunion Group extends its' condolences to Judy, Steve, and the extended family.
08/18/2008 - Paul Warshauer a no-show in Waupaca - attendees initiate name banishment proceedings.
(submitted in jest by the reunion attendees)
WAUPACA, WI - Seven Camp Waupaca alumni gathered in Waupaca this weekend to revel and reminisce in the town of their youth. Notably missing from the gathering was Paul Warshauer. A last minute pull-out, Paul contacted members as early as Thursday afternoon that he would not be attending, but told others as late as Friday morning that he was in Minnesota and would join the group Saturday. When contacted at his residence in Grand Island, NE, Warshauer said he was "attending to contracts and other important business".
The group gathered at popular tourist attractions in Waupaca such as Simpson's Indian Room Restaurant, Clearwater Harbor, JR's Sportsman's Bar, Wheelhouse, King's Table restaurant, and an "establishment" near the Waupaca International Airport. During the weekend, the group took a dim view of Warshauer's absence, and prepared the following statement in an effort to tarnish his good name.
Imagine Warren Metzdorff dressed as the Pharoah Seti, played by Sir Cedric Hardwicke, in the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille classic production of “The Ten Commandments” as he declares:
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every pylon and obelisk.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every cabin wall and ceiling.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every yearbook.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every bathroom.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every CIT cabin.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every web page.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from every commemorative plaque.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from the Archery Range.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from the Buddy Tag board.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” be removed from the Larry Craig stall at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International airport.
Let the name “Paul Warshauer” not be spoken by any Camp Waupaca alumnus, lest they be banned from all reunion activities.
So let it be written, so let it be done!!
06/29/2008 - Sad news: Wife of Abba Leifer dies.

(04/13/2001) Several cabin photos from 1981 were added today. CLICK HERE to check them out!
(04/02/2001) We are excited to add several cabin(?) photos from 1958. These come to us from Joe Rosen. We're not sure of the cabin numbers, or if these are even representations of cabins. Other cabin photos from this era are usually taken near a cabin, which is why we're unsure of these photos. Please check them out and tell us about them! Click here to go immediately to the 1958 photo page.
(04/02/2001) We have added cabin photos from 1974. These photos are of poor quality. They were taken NOT from the camp photographers' photos, but from snapshots taken simultaneously with the photographer. We will gladly accept your replacement originals! Click here to go immediately to the 1974 photo page.
(03/26/2001) Several cabin photos from 1972 have been added. These new photos are courtesy of Ron Lavine. These photos have the new "hot spot" feature built-in - place your mouse-pointer over a face, then look in the lower left comments area of yor browser for the row and position number, and the name.
(03/06/2001) Thank you to Rick Passman for painstakingly going through the photos to identify names of CW alumni. I think he's having fun doing it!

(02/2001) Congratulations to Gary Silbar and his wife Karen on the birth of Max, who weighed in at 7 pounds 7 ounces.
(02/2001) MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS COMING TO PICTURE PAGES!! We are in the process of placing a web "hot spot" on EVERY face in EVERY all-camp and cabin photo! Place your mouse pointer over a face, and in the browser comments box (lower left on most browsers), the name of the person will appear! It will also indicate the row and position number WHICH YOU SHOULD REFERENCE WHEN CORRESPONDING UPDATES TO US. We also changed the way the picture pages open. Instead of sharing the screen with the links pane on the left, we will now open these pictures in full-screen mode. This will make browsing these larger photos easier for you.
(02/2001) HELP!! We need your help in identifying faces and cabin numbers from the 1950's and 1960s. Please go to the Photo Archives page and surf through the pictures. Then you can use the handy email form to send us updates. Be sure to identify the row as we have identified it, and where the person is (i.e. "3rd row from top, the schlamiel with glasses between Harvey Schwartz and Morrie Goldstein is Melvin Birnbaum"). This information is important for our 50th anniversary edition of the camp yearbook, the Trail's End. Thank you for your help.
(02/2001) Congratulations to Warren Metzdorff on his recent wedding! We're still waiting for our invitations . . .
(08/2000) Our Dream (click here)

There is SO MUCH memorabilia to scan and process, it will take WEEKS to get it all assembled! Check back here often for the latest updates. For now, check the 1967 and 1968 cabin photos.
(08/2000) The reunion group extends best wishes for a speedy recovery to Warren Metzdorff who recently underwent double knee replacement surgery. Warren thinks it was the stress of "teaching 10,000 campers to swim & ski" at camp. We think it was brought on by him teaching horseback riding in his early camp days. We hope Warren will be back in the saddle soon!
(07/2000) Donations have been received from: Howard Bramson, Ira Fierstein, Jeff FitzRandolph, Lee Freedman, Maxine & Bob Greenstein, Larry Lazarus, Larry Lifson, Bob Mowen, Paul Ringel, Larry Silton, Glen Spear, Steve Taslitz, and Rob Tepperman. Thank you for your support!

(06/2000) The Reunion Group extends its' condolences to the family of Howard Feinstein. Howard passed away recently after a battle with lung cancer. Howard attended camp in 1951 or 1952 (he could never remember!) and then sent his three sons to camp: Joel, Jim, and Gregg Feinstein.
(06/2000) Congratulations to Jim Feinstein who recently got married.
(06/2000) Congratulations to Greg Berke on his engagement.
(06/2000) John Rosenberg (Omaha camper) has provided the reunion group his all-camp and cabin photos from 1963 - 1967. John lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two children. He is a pilot for Northwest Airlines, so don't be surprised if you get a telephone call from John when he's on layover in your town!
