Private practice allergist/immunologist in northeastern Massachusetts. Previously at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School for 25 years. Born in New York, NY and lived in Venezuela, Brazil, California and Massachusetts. My education includes Stuyvesant High School (New York, NY), Harvard College, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (New York), City University of New York (Ph.D.), Tufts Children’s Hospital (Pediatrics) and Boston Children’s Hospital (Allergy/Immunology). I have carried Camp inside me for more than 50 years and I have enjoyed every opportunity to give back.
Tony's CRS Story
When you hear people talk about their Camp Rising Sun experiences, the two descriptions that come up most often are “transformative and “life changing” – I feel the same. At Camp, I truly understood what “common humanity” means for the first time. I learned that beneath the surface of culture and experience, we are all more similar than we are different. For all of our campers, this deliberate lesson engenders respect for others and encourages us to be open to what we may learn from one another. Take a look at what’s going on in the world today. It’s obvious that mutual respect and understanding are in short supply.
We thank our Board of Directors for their passionate leadership of LAJF and CRS! Their work ensures the successful operations and sustainable future of our organization.
