Further I ran away from Kamp the first day, got all the way to the airport, where your brother and I think Roy David came to get me. Your brother was a... (more)

Maybe they will let you put up tents on the Ace Center grounds. You could number them and make it an authentic Kewanee experience!

Charles, I am so deeply, deeply saddened. The last time we were together, in Aspen three or four years ago, Lorna and I sang "When the Moon Shines" with John and Barbara in their back yard. And the moon was indeed shining that evening - and in my memory it will ever be so.

Chas - my condolences. John was a legendary Kewaneean with a long run, starting as a kamper in 1944, on the Honor Plaque in '51 and a kounselor until 1958. A sad loss.

Everyone who requested a copy of the 2011 Kamp Directory should have received theirs by now. Most of them were mailed out a few months ago in March. If you asked for one but have not received it yet, please let me know and I'll look into it.

Fred, I knew Chuck and Bill. Bill is a little closer to my age. Besides being nice guys, I remember they had arms that could throw a rocket of a softball. My wife and I arrived in Canton today and our stuff arrives Wednesday. We are excited to be here and to meet your cousin Fran and her... (more)
