Default PeopleFinders

Folks use this site to look for classmates for reunions. (I know because someome found me this way)

Here is the "free" search. The young lady would need to pay for any other information.

http://www.peoplefinders.com/summary...nput=&x=30&y=7

Hope it can help her find her family members. Several of the results show the age to be 52. That's about right for the Robert the lady is looking for.

Smile I remember Tom Keene also.

Sorry I can't help you with your location of family but I couldn't resist sharing my fond memories of Tom Keene. I was 15 years old when I took the YMCA scuba diving course he offered at his shop. That triggered a life long love of diving that I still have today. (40 years later.) We used to go out on the Yankee Diver? and dive all around the lake. I can't describe the wonderful times I had during those summers and how magical it felt exploring the bottom of Winnipesaukee. All thanks to Tom Keene. I still have a picture of him and Lloyd Bridges from some kind of Promotional Work taken one summer long ago.Thanks for letting me remember those wonderful days.

Default Tom

Tom was really a gruff guy with a heart of gold. He put together the first SCUBA course at Camp Idlewild in the early 60s - "wildcat" certification in those days. I took that course as a camper in 1964 and was immediately hooked! Tom and his staff took me under their wings and got me ready for a NAUI instructor course in 1969 at the tender age of 18. The Idlewild SCUBA program was wildly popular. The craziest aspect of it was the process of filling empty tanks - we loaded empties onto the Mail Boat and Tom picked them up at Weirs, filled them, and sent them back next day. We eventually got our own compressor out at camp, also thanks to Tom. One summer, his shop was closed and he disappeared. I never did find out where he went - very much a loss and much missed.
