At the age of 78, I find myself singing in the shower almost every day - and when I do it is almost always Gilbert and Sullivan songs: lines like "I'm telling a terrible story, but it doesn't diminish my glory," "With catlike tread, upon our prey we steal," "I'm called little Buttercup, sweet little Buttercup," "Kind Captain, I've important information," "I am the Monarch of the sea, the ruler of the Queen's Ni-vee" "I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical," and so forth, and from beginning to end. 60-some years have passed, and these are among the hundreds of G&S delights that rattle in my brain! Anybody else do this?

Very sorry to hear about Sue Shoenberg's passing. Have been in La Belle France for a few weeks' holiday (BTW, how can retirees take a "holiday" & from what?), so am just now seeing alleged Irish Music Festival pic. To me, it looks way more like a group of kriminal escapees from the La Plume Assisted Living Center.

See some of Fred Half's Kamp pictures taken in 1963 and 1964.

Everyone is shorter and facial hair abounds. Where's Bonnie?

Lorna and I are deeply saddened to hear of Sue Shoenberg's passing. We have often joined with Bob and her at restaurants in Washington, DC... and at the KK reunions.

Sad to report: Bob Shoenberg's wife of 54 years, Sue Shoenberg, passed away on Thursday after an illness. Her life was devoted to serving others in so many ways. She was a well known and very well respected leader here in Montgomery County, Maryland. Dave

Kampers from around 1969-1970 will be saddened to read of the passing of Bob Reichblum.

I remember the Mikado as a kounselor play that was presented in 1959. I was a junior kounselor that year. I had a small part, but was able to hold up a sign that said "Tokyo AZA" that drew a few laughs. Kounselor shows were always fun.

Chas,

As I recall, Dave Sechrest played Yum Yum. Could Chautauqua beat that?

Saw the MIKADO last evening at Chautauqua. Version was as bizarre as the Kewanee authentic take. Memories flowed. KEE KEE WAH

I....wanna go back to Kewanee, the kamp I love so well! Back to the lodge, and nature trail, back to...
OK, OK, I'm not going back. But it's July, and I miss my Manataka. And the baseball field. And HC, Jimmy A and Alice. And so many of my dear, dear friends...
Kee Kee Wah, everybody!

Bob...Last summer I was pretty close to you, pass close by on the way from Stowe to Kennenbuck. It would have been great to stop in and say hello. I love the quietness of New Hampshire and Vermont
