World War II Daughters

During World War II, a number of girls of the families of outstanding Army, Navy, and Air Forces officers were campers at Glenrochie. These included daughters of Admiral Nimitz, General Spaatz, General Marshall Carter (now special assistant to the Secretary of State) who married an old Glenrochie girl, Rear Admiral E. P. Moore, and Colonel L. B. Weeks.

In early days, two daughters of the late Chief Justice Edward Campbell were campers. They were Miss Jean Campbell who is now working in the rare books division of the Library of Congress, and May Campbell.

Millie Douglas, daughter of Justice Douglas, was a junior counselor at Glenrochie last summer. Justice Hugo Black’s daughter has also been a camper there.

The three Boyd sisters, famous triplet great nieces of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, were Glenrochie campers several summers.
