I am working on the history of Baker camp and I am stuck on finding out what was the fifth bank that formed the camp. After the May 3 and 4th weekend I am going to do some research in the local and NYC libraries. I also want to get into the bank files if possible. Does anyone have a contact at Bankers Trust that might get me in touch with their historian? It appears to be the only bank left from the original five. Here is a taste of what I have thus far: --- Baker camp was originally known as George F. Baker Employes Camp opened in May 1927 for the employees of First National Bank, Bankers Trust Company, the United States Trust Company, and the New York Trust Company, which formed a mutual corporation to operate the camp. It was launched admidst of the Harriman State Park development on Lake Sebago with an entrance from Mad Dog Road, as locally known, which was converted into a new motor road three miles long running on from Sloatsburg-Haverstraw Road. The Camp was made possible from the quick assemblage of building material, and forty buildings of various types included in the camp outfit have arisen rapidly since the work was begun in midwinter. --- PS to get your attention I posted pics from my song book.
