Juanita Slater, George Breiding, Don (AKA "Bud") Altemus and Carl Slater start doing some catching up.
Greg Park, Naturalist and Eriks Janelsins, Director of the Oglebay Institute Schrader Environmental Education Center get ready to address the crowd.
As Eriks reads his retrospectus of Camp People and Days gone by, Bill Beatty takes some photos.
Eriks invited us to share anecdotes and our remembrances of past campers and staff. Here, "Uncle" Ron Keitzer tells us a few stories of the good old days.
The large oak trees seen in these photos are some of the original 4 oaks which flanked the campfire circle. Only three now remain.After many good stories, accompanied by both tears and laughter, it was time to get down to business - LUNCH!!
Slow cooked to perfection and ready for the table, we couldn't wait to dive in.
The last few preparations for the feast allowed more time for reminiscing and catching up.
Here Tom Hohman, George Breiding and Kathy Burgoyne look at Sue Hohman's photo album which dated back to the 1940's.Tom Burgoyne, Art Rybeck and Don Altemus do a little serious gabbing.
A few of the many admirers of Willa Mae (in swaddling), Jeff and Natasha's newborn.
After the feast Bill Beatty takes us on a walk around the Camp woods.
Pictured here is the lane I love so much, which leads to a place like no other - Good Old TA.
Here we gather to the view a Round Leafed Orchid (Platanthera orbiculata) Bill had pointed out to us. A fitting end to an nice walk in the woods.
I wish I had taken more pictures of all the good folks there - next time! Thanks to everyone for a wonderful day.
