Camp McDowell Reunion

This picture from Urbantank's Flickr Photostream.

I love the mountains,
I love the rolling hills,
I love the flowers,
I love the daffodils.
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low.

Boom di a da
Boom di a da
Boom di a da

This picture came from a Webshots search of Camp McDowell.

(Chorus)

She walks through the corn leading down to the river,
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her,
And left me to die like a fox on the run.
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox,like a fox, on the run.

(Chorus)

Now pour a glass of wine to fortify your soul.
We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know...

I more than likely will not post any new content this weekend; however, I will be scanning old camp pictures by the handfuls.

If you have any old pictures, and can scan them, I'm happy to post them.

Additionally, I'll be creating a universal account soon, which will allow anyone to log into blogger and post their own.

Have a great weekend!

I would really like to try and collect as many of these as possible over the next year; I'll probably create and entirely new webpage and link it to this reunion page.

Anybody got a few of these?

---------------------------------------

Btw, any chance we can get one of these done, after breakfast on June 25th?

Warner Swain [c. 1987-1989] and Laura Beth Neely [I think she was born at camp!] took a bunch of old tapes, digitized them, and turned them into mp3s.

Well, The three of us used to get together while I was living in NYC; and once, I was throwing a little gathering in my closet apartment above the original Ray's Pizza on Sixth Avenue in the Village. Warner and Laura Beth popped in, dropped this amazing collection on me, and we spent the evening back on carpet in front of the fireplace at Eppes Hall.

I was hoping to Liveblog the reunion in June; however, this is probably going to be impossible without a pretty fast internet connection. Regardless, I'll throw up a ton of pictures from it, late Sunday night, and others as ya'll send them in.

If anyone else has pictures from this session, or any other session, please send them to me at the email address on the sidebar. I am happy to post them, or email and ask to be a contributor if ya like.

20 gold stars to anyone who can name all the muddy lovelies.
