Dear Nechtem Family, my deepeset condolences. As a camper at Bauercrest, I was head table waiter and got to know as a camper Aunt Gladys. She was the epitomy of a "classy lady". She always dressed immaculately.I used to relish the conversations that Gladys and Nathan K (the cook) would have, as they planned the upcoming menus for the camp.
At least Gladys and Saul didn't have to wait long to be reunited.
Again, my deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,

Craig Feldman
