My memories of summers during my childhood in Gloversville in the 1960s and 70s are filled with riding my bicycle across town with friends to spend long days at Littauer Pool, exploring Melchoir and Myers parks, buying treats at Candy Kitchen with the change we found along the sidewalks and two-week stints at Camp Cramer-Burton, the day camp run jointly by the YMCA and YWCA where my big sister was an arts and crafts counselor. If it was a good year, the family would venture to Storytown in Lake George, now the much bigger Six Flags Great Escape park. If it was a really good year the family would make the further trek across the state border to Vermont.
