Playing in the Wopowog band


My dad, Hank Unrath, was in a small swing band that played at Camp Wopowog during the summer of 1942.  He is 90 now, but talks about Camp Wopowog and playing in the band there that summer.  He would like to know if there are any pics of the camp during that year, or especially of the band.  He said they all had to have "camp names."  Since he played the clarinet, his nickname was "Woody," the drummers nickname was "Sticks" and I don't remember anything else about the band.  Any info or anyone who was there that summer of 42 who might share some memories or post some photos or remembers the band would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!
