Does anyone remember the       camp song "aluetta, jaunty aluetta? The camp director Art would sing it at       breakfast and get us all going. I remember the plates of buttered toast,       scrambled eggs. pancakes and        bacon and oatmeal we had. The canoe trips the swimming, the crafts including       copper enameling I made my Dad a pair of cuff links. The "new cabins were nice       with bunks and screens on the window. The outhouses with the new ablution       system.       > > The dirt pathways we would sweep with a corn broom to get everything spic       and span for cabin inspection. We would get points and try and beat the other       cabins. Capture the flag. The "girls camp" across the way which we never       raided but talked about        it a lot. It was a great time of my life. The first times away and independent       from my parents even though we looked forward to the care package that would       come in the mail. It was a halcyon time in my life.              I also loved it when care packages came. Was there in the mid to late 60's How       about the song here we sit like birds in the wilderness, birds in the       wilderness waiting for our food? Great camp learned and loved it a lot.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
