At the end of camp V, several of the counselors were asked to come back for camp VI, which was short on counselors. I was fortunately one of those asked, and I jumped at the opportunity. There were three of us from our church who came back for camp VI: myself, my brother Chris and our friend Karin. Since camp V ended Saturday morning, and the counselors and camp staff started preparing for camp VII on Saturday afternoon, Karin's unbelievably generous mom (who has always been great to me and contributed mightily to one of my most memorable Halloweens) came to camp, picked up and dealt with our laundry, and delivered it back to us (along with some much desired snacks). Susan - we love you! Thank you very much! The main reason why I remember that this happened this year of camp was that at some point Saturday or Sunday evening, Karin and I were sitting in her mom's car listening to music (which we had been without for a week) and Dire Straits' Money For Nothing came on the radio. It was brand new, we had never heard it before, and we both thought it was a great song. (As it turns out, lots of other people agreed.) I looked it up, and that song came out in 1985.

My co-counselor was Angela Green. I've marked the campers in our group with an asterisk. The camp directory didn't specify the camp directors and program directors separately, but I'm almost positive one of the camp directors was Rick Owen, and I think Roger Short was the other director. The directory also didn't split up the campers or counselors by group, and I don't have any other notes on who was in what group. Also, a lot of one edge was clipped off the camp directory copy, so I had to guess at a lot of the campers' first names; apologies for any I got wrong, any typos, and anyone I inadvertantly missed while typing this in - please send me any corrections. I put a question mark by the ones I felt especially unsure about, which was quite a lot of them. I don't think I have any photos from this week at camp, but if I ever find any I'll post them on this page.

I would enjoy hearing from anyone from camp. And if you have any photos from this camp, I would be interested in possibly posting copies on this page. My email address is at the bottom of this page.
