We often refer to the summer of '96 as "the glory days",



and looking at this cast of characters, it's easy to see why. I'm not really sure about what's going on in the second shot, but Sarah was out of town, so we were probably just trying to keep Josh occupied so that he wouldn't hole up in the staff house and cry.



There is another interesting shot here on my desk, but I may need it for future blackmailings.

My timeline is a bit messed up, but I think '95 is more aptly referred to as "The Glory Days".

96 had/has a lot of baggage.

It had pretty much all of the principle characters plus adam wagner and Matt Krueger.
I was less surly and we had lance all the time...

yes.

95 wins.

97 was horrible

I didn't know Chad was on staff! I always thought he was exclusively SMT.

he wasn't a staffer, but he was privy to late night grilled cheese sandwiches in the kitchen. i don't really remeber this day in particular, but it must be during teen or kids camp, and i think that tricia must have taken the picture, because there's no one else missing that i can think of.

Ah yes the glory days back when I was 11 and a camper.

Lance was what saved '95. It was by far the low point during my stay from 94-96.

1996 was the year Josh told me that he loved me. It wins. You can't really beat that Jobias....love you, never hate you.

I know what blackmail you speak of, at least I think I do...

i can't even remember what year was what... except i didn't really like 97 at all...

Oh I stand by my decision. The 96 crew amused me greatly. Wagner and Krueger just made me more surly.

i liked 96 best. i was only around for a month in 95, but it was enough to bring me back. 96 did have a lot of "baggage", but that's what made it great. those things like "the witch bit me!" and "i'm so f-ing disappointed in you!" good stuff. i've always thought that the evacuation is what forced us all to bond that summer and form the love/hate relationships that most of us still foster.
