How to provide your photos for this site -- all campers, all generations!

Dawn Timmons was on recently and asked about campers from more recent years. It is our hope that ALL campers from 1954 to this coming summer, will participate in the site. Participation can mean lots of things -- if you sign the guestbook and leave contact info you are more likely to hear from old friends. Leaving comments is another way. Giving us a shout while you are looking at the site is still another -- you never know who else is on...

Most (but not all) of the photographs are being provided by Frank Bush, who documented the camp activities from 1954 through 1969 and, fortunately, kept all that work all those years. He is scanning both negatives and prints into digital format and we (his daughter Paula Bush McElwee and friend Deb Fritz Monroe) are uploading them for you here.

We can upload your photographs, too! We have some here from Tom Ewald, Wilson Wiseman, the Fritz family and the Monroe family in addition to Frank's photos. We have several people who have promised to send us their photos in the near future.

You can scan a photo yourself and email it to bondcamp54@gmail.com, or if you have a pic and no scanner, contact us at the same address and we will figure out how to put your photo on the blog. You may need to mail it physically, or we may be in your neighborhood and you can hand it to one of us for that same purpose.

So let us hear from you! Other future hopes/plans -- Deb and Paula are making a trip to camp late this month to see what is stored there, we are exploring audio clips, and Frank is looking into a way to put video clips up.
