Chuck Roy told me (and others at our High School reunion this summer) a harrowing tale about a camping experience he had in Danvers at age 11. I asked his permission to share his story with the readers of the Danvers Herald. He agreed and sent me a written account, which I incorporated into my September column:
A Camping Adventure. Thanks, Chuck!
It was published September 1 with the subtitle, "
Surviving Hurricane Carol in the woods of Danvers."
Chuck and his wife Elaine live now in Beverly and have founded
Casa Connection, a non-profit organization
supporting the children of the Casa San Jose orphanage in Colima, Mexico.
