Oh, man, that's funny! There's Ruzecki and me flanking the Commandos. Troy was awesome. This was some Billy O'Brilliance if you ask me.

I know what you mean, I was a division head for 2 years, leader for 3, and worked at boys camp in the kitchen/office for 3. I'd say divisioin head was the worst, I had about 70 kids a session who 'knew' me! I think it helped me to understand that ...

I might recognize some of your siblings (or they might remember me). I don't recall them being around me in age, but perhaps they were camplers when I was a leader. It's so hard to remember everyone. Sometimes I just need some memory cues. Over th...

It was really nice of you to write to me, Rich. We may not have overlapped in years at camp, but you may have been there with some of my older siblings; Amy, Betsy, Todd, and Dan Taylor. I'm sure it's a stretch that you'd have known any of them. I...

Hi Rich, hope you're doing well! I'm pretty lousy with details - I think I was probably a royal pain in the tush! I was always a monther and for half of it, my cousin Jocelin and I were inseparable! I've been in the DC area on and off (mostly on) ...

I just saw Todd's message below about the Royal Regatta. I had totally forgotten about that. I recall (perhaps in error) being a charter member. I had a chance to visit the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron when the America's Cup was down there a n...

Good luck John-O. Even when I was a teenager, those little kids were exhausting!! As you may recall, I was a mini-camp leader for two or three years. But you always had a deep pool of energy to draw from. You'll have a blast! Good luck and say hi...
