As a board member, he was serving as the Chairman of the Camp Bradley Committee. He loved Camp Bradley and it shows in the many projects at the camp
His service to camp was not only in the physical sense but working with the boys during summer camp. He was the Shooting Sports Director and many boys learned respect and marksmanship from Fred. His last project at Bradley was the upgrade of the shooting range.
He enjoyed helping his wife with the throwers on the high school track team. And they loved him.
