The
Michael Doyle Summer Camp Fund
Friends and family members have created
a special fund commemorating Michael Doyle, a former staff
member of ACT Programs in the late 1970's. His family
knew of the great times and wonderful memories Mr. Doyle
frequently shared, and the special feelings he carried
about our program. "The diversity all of us have
come to expect when coming to ACT, was especially meaningful
to Mike," says Mr. José V. Torres. "He
enjoyed the diversity of interests, children and adults
who came to play under the shadow of the largest gothic
cathedral in the world."
