Marine Corps. and fought for our country in the Korea War, upon his
return to Stafford he started the Skyline quarry which is still in use
today. |

| In the early 1960's Bob and 3 other
partners decided to buy the property of the old Whitney Dairy farm.
after the partners could not decide on a good way to improve the
property, Bob bought them out with the profits from the sale of the
Skyline Quarry. At that time The lake we know today was only a swampy
stream running through the center of the cow pasture. |

Valley lake to membership. Determined to create the
perfect family getaway he opened the campground in 1968 with
only 10 Sites. Today Sun Valley features 300 beautiful sites.

| Message from the webmaster:
Sun Valley has been a top New England family destination
since the 1960's, I have spent every summer here since I was a week old.
I met my wife here and today our children enjoy the same fun and safe
summer we grew to love. |
