He was an incredible friend of the MTHS. A mover and shaker, he would see what needed to be done and would just do it. He was an active spokesperson for the Society with our local, county and state officials and representatives. He was key to the MTHS securing the NYS grant for the continuing restoration of our historic 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station. He led the effort to install a historic marker on Ski Bowl Road honoring the establishment of Camp Jened at that location and the connection Camp Jened had to the creation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. He worked hard to recruit new Board members. At Board meetings he could be counted on to provide an element of levity. He was a fount of knowledge about Mountain Top history and an inveterate collector of ephemera related to the Mountain Top grand hotels and railroads and road and bridge construction. The depth of his legacy is yet to be calculated, it runs so very deep and wide.</p> <p>He will be profoundly missed. His untimely passing represents a huge loss for us and the entire Mountain Top community. We extend our deepest sympathies to Barbara and their children and to the entire Slutzky family.</p> <p>Adrienne S. Larys</p> <p>President</p> <p></p> <p>To the left are photos of Gary working on the rehabilitation of the Ulster and Delaware Train Station, an image of the Camp Jened historical marker Gary had
