Next Challange

Everyone in the 1989 staff picture has been identified. Thanks to those who helped. Here is the next challenge --

This is from 1981. In 1981 some genius decided that Thunderbird needed to be dug up for renovations. These renovations amounted to nothing more than lumbering out the woods behind Thunderbird. The downside to this was that campfires had to be held on the OA field. The OA field is great for Tap-Out Ceremonies (for those who want to be more politically correct, pretend I typed Call-Out Ceremony) but not so hot for traditional campfires.

The Theme for Cub Scout Camp evolved around the history of the American Indians. This was in the day when we still had Cub DAY Camp. It was an action packed DAY. And DAY Camp was held at the Council Camp; Not off-site.

Jerry Olsen was the Camp Director. The Staff hats were Red and White. It was my second year as a summer camp staff member. It was a veteran kitchen crew. Gary Barrett, Paul Hoffman, and myself were the mung men. Mark Scott was the cook. John Seal was the Steward.

To the picture. I won't even try to get the names down. I'm going to wait for John C. and, hopefully, others to post comments or mail me. I will note that you won't find many of the kitchen crew in the picture. We managed to skip out on many of the Campfires. It was a good summer.

  1. Wow, there I am Right and center in some serious long hair!! Hi guys, Mike Thomas here. I think that's Ray Derk and Roger Harris to my right, far to my right I think that's Steve Ross, and far to my left is Tim (last name escapes me, Hans maybe? I remember him joining USMC) and Garry Barrett. This pic reminds me of some great times in a simpler time period. We were working for Ethel Snook running Cub camp. We're sporting our home made Breechcloths for the Indian theme. I joined the Coast Guard after High school and served 27 years as a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer and retired two years ago here in North Carolina. I'm an assistant Scout master for my son's troop hoping he'll create as good as memories as I have in Scouting and OA.
