My own tense moment came when I had trouble getting the fire, which I had prepared earlier, to light.  My mountaineering skills were on the line and thanks to Martha’s husband Chris, his lighter and several sheets of paper, we eventually had flame.  I received no assistance or sympathy from the audience, who were singing “Come On Gary, Light My Fire.” 
 

Hanging out on the Green Cove Deck Saturday night with Scott and Day playing music on guitar and banjo sounded pretty darn good.  It was a cool crisp evening and the background music set the tone as newcomers and old timers shared memories.  Joe Clarke whose first year at camp was 40 years ago, had never met my wife Barbara.  His last year was 1973.  Since they both had been riding instructors they discovered one thing they had in common was the joy of riding Pete the one-eyed Welsh pony.  That was the kind of magic that just happened. 

"I recomend this trip to anyone who can get on it..."
