I just spoke with my mom about it to get some of the backstory!

She believes this was in 1948. The camp was located just outside of Buffalo, NY. The premise of the camp was for those who were able-bodied to learn from those who had physical and mental disabilities.

I've never even heard of this. I wish I knew what your Grandfather learned from the experience. He looks like hes having a great time.
