I treasured the time that Nita Lowey served as my congresswoman. But through Doug Anderson“s comment, I just learned that she and I are both alums of Camp Wahconah; as the Alma Mater goes, " There peace and happiness we knew..."

Steve,
I was in your US Coast Guard Reserve Unit for 5 1/2 years where you were a Lieutenant and I was an RM2. I remember you as a good guy. Nita went to Camp Wahconah while I went to Camp Potomac with Richie Melnikoff. Our daughter and son-in-law lived in Armonk so Nita was their Congresswoman.

My condolences to you and your children.
