We first went to the Klar Crest Resort in 1966, and that place and family became an intricate part of our lives. My dad even created a song that we still sing as a family today: We're going to the Klar Crest resort--we responded resort.
My brother spent a few years working there and when we see Dirty Dancing again we are reminded of the great years and talent show that we did there. I learned how to square dance there, Much thanks to David and his family for providing great moments.

Iris, Gary and Amy

Sorry for your loss. He was a good man. He gave me my first real job and for that I was always grateful. He and my dad were good friends and I always enjoyed his company the times I made visits to Moodus and stopped in to talk with him.
