Of all the days

May Your [½] Birthday be

The happiest day of all,

And may the year that follows

Be happiest to recall!

Love and XXXXX  Mother and Daddy, Roberta, Serena and John

Summer of 1963, following the New England trip, Catherine attended [pre] 9th Grade Camp at the Methodist Camp Ground in Sabina.  This former camp ground, is now a housing development, and as I recall hearing had previously been a race track.  [I'm still trying to find out where the race track was in New Vienna as there are references to such a place.]  Transcription follows.

Your cabinmates seemed real nice and I know you will have alot to tell us when you get home.

Will contact the Hughes'es to make sure you have a way. Remember your vegetables.
