erhaps it is fitting
that Vic Norris mar-
ried a doctor. For
the co-director of
Camp Tamakwa, which
this week leaped into the
spotlight with the upcom-
ing release of the movie
about the summer haven
for youth, Indian Summer,
a young doctor named
Ronda Barak was the love
of his life.

"We had fallen in love,"
he recalls. "I brought her
to camp because I had to
see if she would love it, or
at least cope with it. This
was the place to propose.
"I thought she would
make a great camp physi-
cian," he jests.
Dr. Barak passed Mr.
Norris' litmus test, he
passed muster with her,
and the two were married
in August 1990. Now, each
summer she tries to take a
week-long vacation in
Huntsville, Ontario,
where she spends time
with her husband and
serves as camp doctor.
Romance is not uncom-
mon for graduates of
Tamakwa. In fact, it has
been the setting of many
camper-to-camper part-
nerships in the Detroit
Jewish community.

The friendships that
blossom after summer
camp are highlighted by
Indian Summer's opening
this week at area the-
aters. And for the many
local insiders who attend-
ed Camp Tamakwa, the
film may even trigger a
few nostalgic memories of
a place close to their
hearts.
Indian Summer is the
story of eight adult
friends who are brought
together for a week at
Tamakwa by its retiring
director, Uncle Lou,
played by Alan Arkin.
"Camp Tamakwa is a
very fond place for me
where I developed a lot of
my youthful adult tenden-
cies," says the film's
writer and producer and
director, Michael Binder,
also from Detroit.
It is where David
Hermelin, who as a young
teen, met his wife, Doreen
Curtis; where Suzan
Folbe met her husband,
Michael Curhan; and
where Karen Blum met
her husband, Michael
Kelman.
