How about these bell-ringers?1956?


Can you identify anyone here? Sandi Heston Rinderer says, "The bell tower photo, I can identify the guy on the right. I think it is Tom McKean from Greenville." After checking with Mike, she added: "My brother Mike says the pix of the belltower is indeed Tom McKean, on the right. The dark haired girl on the left is Theda Butler. Her dad Clifton Butler was the minister at Greenville before your dad. The light haired guy is "probably" David Rush and the other girl is unknown." Clifton Butler was instrumental in organizaing that first week of camp -- his last summer at Greenville. As the next PK in the Greenville parsonage I didn't know Theda but got to know Raynelle(sp?) Butler when she came visit. -- Paula

There is a story behind this picture...


Part of the camp history -- the process of identifying the culprit for some event or another. Does anyone know the whole story? Identify some of the campers? Approximate year? Double click on the photo see larger images. Max Whited, dean, is standing on the left.
Sandi Heston Rinderer states: "Mike thinks this may be in preparation for the annual Sadie Hawkins Day Race. By the way, I am the girl in the dark shirt in front in group on left. I think Kay is sitting next to me in a white blouse. The boy on left towards the back, that is looking toward the camera with a hat and sunglasses on, is Danny Clymer (he currently lives has a ministry in New Hampshire.) from the Lansdowne Church and I think the boy next to him, kind of in "front" of him, also wearing a hat, may be Terry O'Dell from Brownstown. I remember that was a year a lot of the guys were wearing hats, for some unknown reason. Some kind of a "guy thing". I believe the year of this pix was probably 1963."

Another early pic -- high school week?

Can anyone identify the campers and approximate year for this photo from Frank Bush's files? Do Kay Wiseman and Janet Ewald have their backs to the camera maybe? Behind the boy in the center -- is that Sandi Heston? And two behind her, Barbara also from Greenville? Sandi Heston Rinderer says, "The pix of High School week is indeed me behind the boy in the center. The boy in the center is Ronnie Volkmar, from Greenville. I think Barbara Haley is second behind me, also from Greenville and the blond girl to the right is Diana Rafferty from East St. Louis. Boy on the left with dark hair is Johnny King from Landsdowne church in East St. louis. He came to the '99 reunion and is working in N.Y. state planting churches. I think that might be Kay Wiseman's back in the center of the picture but doubt very much that it is Janet Elam Ewald there also. Based on our ages in the pix, I don't think that could be Janet Ewald. Not sure who it is. Maybe a Huck girl. "
