Dear old friends, Please de-escalate this war of words. We all have feelings about what happened. It is better not to be bitter. As Dick Gregory said, carrying bitter feelings is like holding a pocket full of dog sh*t to fling at someone. It's you that ends up bearing the stinky pocket. ;-) DDD ddav...

Don't I recognize a few of these names?

Nice! (sad, but nostalgic nonetheless). This one - <A HREF="http://www.campalton.com/images/103-0312_IMG_A.JPG" TARGET="_blank">http://www.campalton.com/images/103-0312_IMG_A.JPG</A> - showing a rock near the Point - really caught my eye.

Hey Danny.

Thanks for posting that.

I have responsibilities with my kids that day (Diane is away) but if I can shake them off I will make every effort to show up.

Wow. The old photos were enjoyable, though. There really was something special about the circle, don't you agree? And I'm glad the Rec. Hall survived, although reconfigured and repurposed. ;-) I've often mused about writing a short story in which camp closes, much as it did, but the right thing - a ...

Thanks, Nick. That was a moving tribute. For my own part, I am speechless. It seems impossible, like death of the ol' Doc, the closing of camp, or the dividing of the site into lots seemed impossible. He was a good hearted and entertaining man, and I feel enriched by having known him, although I onl...
