Federico Garza attended PAMA and Harker Academy, and also worked as a summer camp counselor for several years in the early ’80s. This past summer, while vacationing in California with his wife and three children, he arranged a visit to the Saratoga campus. He managed to reconnect with former Harker secretary and current board member Phyllis Carley and current teacher Pat Walsh. Walsh enjoyed telling Garza’s teenage children some fun stories about their dad’s days as a camp counselor and Carley enjoyed
