1966 Registration
Mary Roodhouse is the nurse. Janet Thornburg at 1 on the left. Carla Jordan at 5. Janet Gum at 6.
Paula Bush seated on left. Bill Barton across the table. Janet Gum at the end of the table. Carla Jordan is behind her in line. And do you see what is in the box, ready for us to pick up? Frank Bush had this comment: "The first year I attended Bond camp I noticed that students had several booklets– (devotions, rules and regulations, schedule, several "class notes," etc). Campers were always losing one or more of them and as the week wound down, getting copies became a problem. So, the next year I suggested to the camp committee that we have one notebook and have everything in it. So, was born the camp notebooks. Complete with pages to make notes about Chapel services, Vesper services and even pages for autographs. I've often wondered if campers felt that these notebooks were helpful. I don't remember anyone ever mentioning them in their "memories" of camp." Well, Dad, I remember them and even still have a couple from Life Recruit Weeks tucked away with my journals I think.Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Various weeks, circa 1961

"Danny Bowling's a mighty nice fellow.
You can tell by the lift of his chin.
But each time he bends his poor elbow,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in.
Roll in, roll in,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in, roll in.
Roll in, roll in,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in!"
Maybe we will get her to sing it for us and post it for all to hear!
Bill Griffin is in the Jr Boys pic (top left). Dan Bowling and Stu Couve eating watermelon. (top right). Ed Armstrong is the preacher in the Pre Hi (above right) pic. Is that Judy Roodhouse just above Danny Williams, and Kathy Roodhouse across the table at the top? Maybe a First Chance week since there are both boys and girls? Saturday, March 17, 2007
Lois Morse, early 1960s
The nurse is Mary Roodhouse, the Missionary is Lois Morse and the girl is Wanda Bickell (from Edwardsville).


















Any idea how old Carol and Delmyra would have been in 1969? This is a weird combination of people and ages! I think 4:2 is my cousin Sherry Weidemann and she would have only been 8 in the summer of 1969. Very odd! Any chance this is a PeeWee or First Chance Week?
