I do believe the memory is the first to go. You guys have such great memories…all I can remember is laughing my head off and T.M.N.T! OK, there is a little more and reading your blog has brought some of it back.

A reunion sounds fun…I like the idea of going back to Woodland Alters.

Dorinda (Bob) - Of course I remember the nickname Bob - and it was because I was having a heck of a time saying Dorinda over and over all week! Bob seemed much easier….

And I think you’re right Eric, Harold did come close to strangling us, on more than one occasion if I’m correct. It was lucky for us he was not an ‘overly mobile man’ as it were.

And a reunion sounds like a great time, so count me in. And Kim, I think Eric still has those boy shorts I mentioned previously - if you ask him nicely he just may wear them when he attends…

Hey Bob, hey Kim! The cruise was just a suggestion. I’d do anything to get out of Ohio. Maybe a camp reunion at…the camp. I heard you can rent cabins or tents. My parents still have their place down near the camp at Long’s Retreat, so I’ve been by there every so often. Looks the same. This is great to hear from so many of you.

My home is always open for a reunion. Plenty of parking and things to do here!

This conversation between everyone and adding in camp memories is sooooooo cool!!!
- as stated to you in an email earlier, Mandy (Angle), Wendy (Johnston), and Kim (Littlejohn) all brought back my nickname I believe Darin gave to me! Do you remember what that was Darin?!? Yep, it was Bob (I believe you said it was because you liked Bob Dylan & because Dorinda was too long of a name to repeat all week). I believe Brad and Eric both chimed in with a Bob or a Roberto throughout the week as well! The Troy gals, as mentioned, brought it back with us - playing High School soccer, they would call out Bob vs. Dorinda - because the other players 1. Didn’t know who they were talking to/who they were going to pass the ball to and 2. Dorinda was too long to yell out, they could have passed the ball before getting my whole name out! ha ha ha

All good times!
We should set a ‘reunion countdown’ and make suggestions of where to go what to do… looks like Wendy already made one suggestion! Woo-Hoo this is exciting.

Yeah, Preston’s Dad, Roger, was the executive director of the camp, and they lived just across the street. So he actually (in a way) did live at Woodland Altars.

Roger actually threatened to fire me the first year I was full time staff because I was telling my campers scary stories. Later that year I gave a moving speech about the importance of camp in young people’s lives to a group of people who donated to Woodland Altars. Roger took me on a speaking tour of other donors, and we were suddenly best friends. That was my first lesson in politics.
