FRANKLIN Camper Paints A Perfect Picture

Gail Carleton, Franklin, Mass., paints pottery during the arts and crafts activity held Monday at Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks, a fully accessible, barrier-free summer camp located in Hebron, Conn.  Carleton is one of 50 campers attending this year’s MS Vacation Week, which takes place June 9 through June 14. The weeklong holiday is an annual program, hosted by the National MS Society, Connecticut and Greater New England chapters, for people living with the disabling effects of multiple sclerosis, a disease for which there is no cure. Carleton, 51, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1992. When at camp, she says she enjoys arts and crafts, swimming and visiting with other campers.
