my two cents

Okay, many of you pre-date me (at camp if not in chronological age....) but I was the guy lurking through the rec hall (the quaint building down the hill from the a-field) from the mid 80's thru the mid 90's, (I remember that my first day at camp was a couple of short weeks after the birth of Dave Davis' son who must be an adult by now....)
I've been teaching at this little CT prep school for some years now, but every year we take our 9th graders on a "retreat" (I'll leave the exact itinerary to your fertile imaginations) to a NH camp owned by the family of one of our teachers. Come to find out it's the "sister camp" to Camp Moosalauke - which the CA 12-year-old baseball team refered to by another name, having something to do with said moose's reproductive organs as I recall. Anyway, being at camp (though regretably not THE camp) with a bunch of kids again always reawakens images of 11 musical (...and single) summers.
With everything that camp gave everyone, it gave me my wife! a nurse to whom I've been married these last 10 years. (Some of you might remember my (now) sons Keith and Brendan who spent a couple of summers in the early 90's, the latter in my bunk...)
Mitch's ministrations not withstanding ("Mitch, Pat the nurse..."?) I believe I'm the only Altonite to actually marry a camp nurse, tho I may be wrong about this...
Sorry for the wordiness, folks. Would love to hear from anyone who might remember me from from the best 11 summers I ever had....
