Al Mackin’s Camp Offfice


when Al Mackin was the director of the Union League Boys Club summer camp in Salem, Wisconsin this was his office. When I was a counselor at this camp in 1970 Twiggy was the camp director and his office was about a third as big. Here Al can plan out his year-round schedule. When I was a counselor in 1970 they had no year-round schedule. They do now. And Al was about the best there was. My Hoffman Estates Boys Club was allowed to use their camp both in the offseason and during the summer time. To my knowledge we were the only Club allowed that privilege which was reserved for the Union League Boys Club Chicago and they had three units. The camp was wonderful and you can find a tour of camp on our pages and many articles under the category ULBC camp. Al is no longer with us having passed in 1990.
