Susquehanna Council Link

Kyle Bryan wrote me and asked if I would post the Susquehanna Council web site. I wrote about the site a while back. It could use an update in some sections. I have placed a link at the right of the blog. Check it out!

Order of the Oar and Wooden Snipes

I remember when the word came down from Williamsport that we were no longer allowed to have Order of the Oar initiations. There was a fear that we might emotionally or mentally harm the Scouts who were selected.

If you look to the right of the pictures, you might catch a glimpse of Ed McCollin (sp). He was the Camp Director from 1982 to 1984 (maybe 1985). I still use many of the management skills that I learned from him. Ed was the first person to teach me 'plan your work then work your plan'. He had a large influence on my thinking and the way I have learned to relate to people.

These pictures are from 1982. Todd Smith was the Program Director. Dan Danaker was the first waterfront director for Faylor Lake. I was still working in the kitchen.

also in the pictures, you can see Alan Franz, Shawn Spock, Glen Courtney, and Jeff Feidler. Use the magnifier to get a closer look.

Eric Heberlig

Thanks to an e-mail from Jeff Jones, formerly of Lewisburg, I have an update on the Pirates pictured in an old post (http://camp-k.blogspot.com/2007/02/even-more-pirates.html).

Eric Heberlig is a Professor at UNC Charlotte. He is in Political Science and swapped his red pirate shirt for a red tie (I don't know what that means?).




















I e-mailed Eric and did get a response back. He has been teaching at UNC Charlotte for 7 years. He has married and he and his wife Tracy are planning on adopting a child in the near future. You can find information on Eric at the UNC-C site. Or check out his Curriculum Vitae!

It is always exciting to hear from scouting friends. Especially when they (like Eric) refer to their experiences in Scouting as "The Glory Days".

Jeff - Thanks for the lead on Eric. Eric - Thanks for replying and giving us an update. It was great to hear from both of you.

Red Candle Link

Added a link on the right to the Red Candle Story (since it is the most requested item). Hopefully this will make it easier for people looking for the story.
