I recall him and I was in one or two of his plays. I do remember many empty liquor bottles outside his bunk and I have a vague recollection of him having a connection to Raymond Duke, Patty's brother. I was last at Granite Lake Camp in 1966. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/john-zacherle-dead-host-horror-movies-was-98-942035/amp/

You've got it right except there's no "y" at the end.
At one time I could have asked him for you but lost the contact.

If I'm not mistaken, John Zacherley (sp?) was the Drama counselor at the summer camp I attended for a couple of years (Granite Lake Camp, Munsonville, NH). No, wait... his name might have been Bob Oberreich... but I think there was some connection with John Zacherley.

I DO remember parts of a camp skit I was in... It involved a boy who was shy about talking to a girl he's asked out. His friend gives him advice on what to say; romantic stuff like, "When I look at your face, time stands still." On his date, the boy keeps messing up the lines. When he recalls this one, he blurts out, "Your face! Your face could stop a clock!"
