David do you remember the year Union Church created a church camp for us? The Tabacalera workmen put up a big tent & outhouses. We had Bible lessons & all. The grown ups hauled us in to the Grand Hotel to swim twice... that was the best. I remember seeing many shooting stars - as we would poke our cots out of the tent to sleep, trying to get cool. Mollie Jacobson - taught us songs like John Jacob.... Irishman - and others such as one about donkeys - that I got in trouble when I duplicated it for a skit up at Leelanau in Michigan... I think a number of the people in the picture were at that camp.
Peter and Paul did not attend but we would meet them in the bushes!! I do not know how we coordinated this w/o cell phones! I think we would sneak out when we were supposed to be memorizing Bible verses... but only God knows how they knew when to show up...
Tootsie,
ReplyDeleteI do remember that camp; it took place during vacation time between sixth and seventh grades on the shore of Lake Jiloa. Do you have any pictures?
