In reply to Mary Lou Daugherty Gault (Mrs. Donald Joseph). After 54 years knowing you as my Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority Advisor and Friend, I never knew you also were a Day Camp Counselor Alum. I was blessed to be part of Day Camp from 1967-1970. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Hope you are doing well, Mary Lou.

Back in the mid- ’50s I was in charge of Day Camp for 5 to 9 year olds. My staff was composed of high school students. The shelter was fairly new, No running water. We transported it from the dining hall. We prepared daily lunches – sandwich, veggies, etc. We marched up daily to the swimming lake and had an hour in the cool water. We took road hikes as well as wood hikes. Our campers were divided into groups with a high school “camp townsiler” as their leader. Special directions for behavior on road hikes (when a car or truck came near, stop and wait for it to pass) and wood hikes (stay on the trail) were constant reminders. In spite of reminders. one adventurous lad went off the trail and inadvertently stepped on a fallen hornets nest! Each week the camp “school bus” would pick up campers at the different parishes for there day at the camp (9 AM to 4 PM?). Parents would let us know if their little person was a handfull (not so) or a quiet little somebody (not so) which we found very interesting. Loved those kids!

My brother in law Ralph Douglas Gault married Mary Anne Munka – both camp staff at one time.
