I had picked Justin for my staff because when we had talked during orientation he seemed like a basically good kid who I thought would relate well to the campers since he was closer to their age than I was. He had told be about some trouble he had gotten in as a youth. I struck me as more naivatte than malace.&lt;div&gt;It turned out he was a great asset particularly given the tough kids we were dealing with. Justin was easily able to relate to them but was still loyal to me and helped me keep things mostly together as a unit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The third week of camp I had some particularly difficult kids from Springfield. There were about 15 kids who came together and often pushed me at every turn. It got so bad that during a two hour hike things spiralled down to all out mutiny. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had worked int the stables for a number of years and as I was walking out of the staff lounge that day I saw the Aquestian director walking in. In jest I cried out to him "Please take me back in the stables. I will do anything if you let me go back." Justin must have overheard this exchange and took me seriously. Later he implored me stay and he really wanted me to stay the unit  leader. It was really a great lift to my spirit to know that he was so concerned about me and really wanted me to stay (even though I had no real intention of quiting). I had often had older staff that I really felt were great role models for me and for the first time I felt like I had a positive influence on a younger staff member.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The funniest story of Justin and I was when he canoed back to the unit and left the boat there for the night so that he could canoe back in the morning which aquatics staff was allowed to do. the next morning I got the kids awake and sent them off towards breakfast. I was running a little late and Justin suggested I canoe in with him. I agreed and jumped into the front of the boat. He started to climb in the back and pushed us off and as he did so he lost his balance and we both flipped off into the mucky waters of Lake Echon.  Now on top of being late I was smelly and wet. We both had to rush and take showers before breakfast and of course we were much later by the time we finally arrived. I think Justin felt bad about it but I tried to make light of it as if it were no big deal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A few years later Justin was Killed in a car accident. When I heard about it I was shocked and saddened. We had both been in Brebuff the previous year (I had returned to the Stables where I belonged) and he had become one of my closest friends at Camp. He had a great heart and and was a great guy. During orientation there was a charity auction and Justin and I had pooled our money and bought a squirt gun that we often used to surprise unsuspecting staff and campers. About a year ago I found it in my basement when I was cleaning things out. It was time to throw it out and let it go. I haven't forgotten him or the friendship we had though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-415613638412071828?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/415613638412071828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=415613638412071828' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/415613638412071828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/415613638412071828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/thoughts-on-justin-brown.html' title='Thoughts on Justin Brown.'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-5964855797244462109</id><published>2009-05-03T18:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T19:18:45.267-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Foiled (Part 2) see below for part 1</title><content type='html'>The last of the 12 units was picking up there overnight &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;pack outs&lt;/span&gt; when we discovered that the aluminum foil had been left out of all of the other units milk crates. The other 11 units were spread all around the camp at various overnight locations. Without the aluminum foil it would be very difficult for any of them to cook their hamburgers. So we know they had to have it but taking it out to them would have taken to long and besides opposite sex staff was not allowed to visit overnight sites. We did the only thing we could we put the aluminum foil in a milk crate behind the dining hall with a sign apologizing for the the mistake.&lt;br /&gt;We know when the units realize that they were missing a very important part of their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;camp out&lt;/span&gt; pack they would send someone back to the main area to get it. Satisfied we had done all we could we went to town and had a good time.&lt;br /&gt;The next morning we returned to work and cooked breakfast. We served breakfast as normal while &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;unbeknownced&lt;/span&gt; to us the units were plotting their revenge.  We decided that Kyle could handle the tray return himself because at breakfast there were only a few plates per table be returned by the waiter. The rest of us sat down at the back room to eat our own breakfast. As soon as the dining hall manager turned on the white light every table's waiter got up and brought up everything left of the table back up to the window. Empty milks, trash platters and juice containers. Kyle was overwhelmed with stuff. The rest of the kitchen staff immediately sensed there was a problem and all being team players we rushed up to the window and started sifting though and clearing the counter. In no time &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;we&lt;/span&gt; had taken care of all the things that had been brought back and closed the window.&lt;br /&gt;Immediately Lee called us back to the back of the kitchen and gave us strict orders that there was to be no retaliation for this act. We agreed knowing that we had only gotten what we deserved and confident that if we had retaliated we would have certainly won this tit for tat. We were after all the kitchen staff and certainly could have served up some really bad meals. Liver and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;brussel&lt;/span&gt; sprouts anyone?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-5964855797244462109?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5964855797244462109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=5964855797244462109' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/5964855797244462109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/5964855797244462109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/foiled-part-2-see-below-for-part-1.html' title='Foiled (Part 2) see below for part 1'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-3247246472204717119</id><published>2009-04-22T19:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-22T19:49:56.190-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Foiled</title><content type='html'>Must have been the summer of 1989 when I was working in the kitchen during girls season. It was a typical Wednesday which was normally a very busy day in the kitchen. Many of the cooks were good friends who had worked together before. There was Chris, Kyle, myself and two others I think Frank,  and Lee was the Food Service director. Wed. we had to prepare breakfast then lunch for the whole camp as this was the first day during the week that half the units were not on all-day hikes. In addition to that we had to prepare the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;packouts&lt;/span&gt; for overnights and this summer we expected the truck on Wed. to bring provisions.  We all decided to split up the tasks to divide and conquer. Kyle volunteered to do the overnight &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;packouts&lt;/span&gt; so we split up the cooking tasks for breakfast and when the truck came in after breakfast we all dropped what were were doing to empty out the truck. after the truck was unloaded the rest of us other than Kyle started lunch.&lt;br /&gt;After lunch we hurried to clean the kitchen. On Wed. Opposite season staff (boys during girls season) had the rest of the evening off and we were hurrying to get done so that we head to Marion for the evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On  person had to stick around until the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;pack outs&lt;/span&gt; were all picked up.Kyle volunteered to stay and since we were all going into town together, we planned to come back around 4:30 to get him and leave. Normally a few units have 2 hour hikes on Wed. after noon so they can get an early start on their overnight. As usual a number of units had picked up their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;pack outs&lt;/span&gt; well before we Came back. On of the last units to pick up was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Raganea&lt;/span&gt; and their Unit lead Liz &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Deurker&lt;/span&gt; was picking up their pack when we returned. Kyle reminded her as he had everyone else to check and make sure everything was in the pack before she left. She slowly surveyed the contents and suddenly blurted out "Were is the aluminum foil"  Kyle took a look in the milk crates and realized he had forgotten to put it in. He went to the back room and found all of the foil for all the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;pack outs&lt;/span&gt; was still back on the shelf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to be continued.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-3247246472204717119?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3247246472204717119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=3247246472204717119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/3247246472204717119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/3247246472204717119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/foiled.html' title='Foiled'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-1659946231897387387</id><published>2009-03-09T19:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T19:52:52.075-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dinner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='50th Anniversary'/><title type='text'>Camp 50th Anniversary Dinner.</title><content type='html'>Celebrate Camp's 50 anniversary by attending the Dinner/auction and Mass on April 18th at Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville IL.

I have found an number of freinds by looking at the members of this group. You can then look at their friend list and find a number of other Camp O friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So If if Facebook is so useful, then Why have this site. Well I intended for this site to allow for sharing of stores, pictures and contact information without having to sign up for one of the social networks. I think that Facebook and Myspace are complementary in the purpose of connecting people by think there is a place for this site as well.

I had worked the stable for boys season and was working in the kitchen for girls season. Joe was the kitchen director at the time and the kitchen staff were all pretty good friends and we were known to play a few pranks from time to time. Most of the victims of our fun were unlucky rotating staff who found themselves washing dishes. We were constantly putting first year staff in the dishwater or if we were really ambitious in the turtle pond.&lt;br /&gt;It was all Joe's idea to set our sites higher and play a joke on Dan H. the personel director. Late one night we crept into the office and managed to get Dan's office door open. once inside we opened the outside door and took in rowboat. we set it on his desk and proceded to turn on a hose and fill it with water to make removal a more difficult process. While we were in the precess of filling it the it became obvious the that the boat was not holding the water as well as we had figured it would. We turned off the hose and decided we had done enough damage and locked up the office and got the hell out of dodge. The next morning we waited to hear what would become of the prank. We heard nothing. A few more days went by and we heard nothing more about it. We then found out that Dan had come down with a flu and had not been in the office for the past few days. We said nothing and tried to act normal. In the meantime the Camp office had been having phone problems. Calls were dropped. lines weren't working. Camp called in the phone company to find the problem. The repair man checked the main line and then went from extension to extension checking the connections. Everything check out until he got to Dan's office. Where he found a wet rusty boat had somehow shorted out the phone line.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-7265683521846571925?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7265683521846571925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=7265683521846571925' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/7265683521846571925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/7265683521846571925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/flood.html' title='The flood'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-904528866971399740</id><published>2008-09-06T21:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-06T21:43:16.992-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Staff Pictures</title><content type='html'>Patti Egan email me today.

I guess we were not listening to the radio during the drive or certainly we would have heard the news that was now making headlines through out the world. As we were checking in we heard the buzz. The details were still sketchy but apparently Princess Diana had been in a serious crash and may have been killed. That is my vivid memory of a labor day weekend.  But I have many other memories from Labor Days past. Larry Barger jamming on the banjo at the labor day dance. Kyle refusing to sleep and hallucinating while working in the kitchen after over 40 straight hours awake. Sitting around the campfire at Couture listening to Joe drone play guitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just some of the memories I have from Labor days past. I am sure this weekend there will be more fun an memories made for past staff. I wish I could be there but I won't be attending this year.  I would love to hear any stories or post any pictures that anyone is willing to send. I hope everyone had a great summer and I hope there will be many more.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-6839547233513623084?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6839547233513623084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=6839547233513623084' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/6839547233513623084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/6839547233513623084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/memories-of-labor-day.html' title='Memories of Labor day.'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-3740680285434964768</id><published>2008-08-07T19:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T20:08:41.345-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The stables</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lbeau6/2572222996/"&gt;Horse picture&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found this picture on line. I makes me remember some of the great times I had in At Camp. On of my most memorable times was also one of the scariest. I remember the the clouds had moved in fast as we were sending out the 11:30 ride, the last one of the morning. I don't think the ride was out for more than 20 minutes before lightning forced it to end abruptly. The stable crew worked furiously to dismount the campers as quickly as possible in the rain. After the campers dismounted were were having the CITS usher them as quickly as possible into the the barn. With only two horses and campers left to attend to Josh and I took the reigns of the last two horses and sent the kids to safety. We led the horses into the the now semi flooded barn yard. We shooed the horses in and side by side Josh and I sloshed into the coral in about 4 inches of water. Just then we heard a loud crack and saw a bright light. we looked to our left about 40 yards and could see the smoke rising off of the fence post where the lighting had just struck. realizing that we were standing in ankle deep water we glanced at each other knowing that had the strike been any closer we certainly would have been toasted. We both dash off into the barn lucky to be alive.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>advice for first time staff.</title><content type='html'>Staff orientation will be starting soon and I thought I would make a few suggestions for first time staff. First let me establish my credentials.  I worked on staff from 1987 - 1993 with one year off in 2001. I was never a camper but was a c.i.t.  (1986) and on staff I was stable crew, nature instructor, cook, unit leader and H. and S. manager among other things. I achieved the rank of Captain which puts me in top few percent of staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do your job well. This is the key. I have seen too many first-year staff that thought Camp was a vacation. You will not be there long unless you are competent at your job. You will probably not like all the things you have to do but someone has to do them and I you won't they will find someone else who will&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resist the temptation to party. I don't know what things are like on staff now but I saw many first year staff ( could name names but that would be cruel) who were away from home for the first time and got in with the wrong crowd. They got in trouble and at Camp your reputation will follow you almost forever. Make one big mistake and there are usually no second chances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have not seen or spoke to anyone I knew from high school for years. The best friends I have are all from Camp or College. You can forge lifelong friendships at Camp if you just be yourself and don't try to be something your not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have fun. I look back and I think how much more money I could have made all those summers if I had just had a different job. But there is plenty of time to earn. When you are young have fun and don't be too uptight. The bad times I had (like when I was unit leader of a group of punks from Springfield) I lost track of why I was there. We were all supposed to  be having fun. I should have focused on helping the kids (even the punks) realize we could all be on the same team. We could make it Win/Win. When you get frustrated just remember getting angry will only make things worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is tempting to try to want to change camp all at once in someway. My first year on staff a group of us had a protest about promotions. It worked out ok but nothing really changed much. When I got to be a Luetenant (and could put people up for promotion) I went down the entire staff list and tried to find someone who was overlooked. Things change slowly and the best way to make change is to start with yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now here are a few more practical things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bugs at Dubin's barn can be horrible. go prepared or you will be miserable on the overnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get used to cold showers especially if you are stable crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Study maps and learn the trails. You don' t want to get lost and it's easier than you think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will have to deal with some of the older returning staff who think they are king or queen of Camp. Just remember your day will come and maybe you will treat the new staff better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately the campers and parents are the customers. They paid to have fun and be safe. Make that your top priority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heepwah!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-5019604055040948403?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5019604055040948403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=5019604055040948403' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/5019604055040948403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/5019604055040948403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/advice-for-first-time-staff.html' title='advice for first time staff.'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-3565551953146056548</id><published>2008-04-09T13:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-09T13:55:06.736-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Stable Roundup</title><content type='html'>Stable Roundup is April 18-20.

I think it was my first year on staff and as rotating staff I spent every week doing a different task. I think I spent two weeks the first year in the stables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had been a CIT in the stables the prior year and my brother worked in the stables the prior year so I felt a pretty comfortable with the crew. The stable manager, who we can call Matt was from St. Louis like myself so we had a pretty good time. He had a black muscle car, I have no Idea what that make or model was but he kept it in showroom condition and treated it like his baby. This was a perfect scenario for my little joke. I was doing the usual manure duty with a CIT one morning and as we filled up the heavy SH*&amp;amp; wagon it became harder to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;maneuver&lt;/span&gt;. Matt had driven his car up to the stables that morning and as the crossed the road to dump the wagon we went right by it. I wrestled the cart to a stop and said "Watch this." I ran inside the barn with the best scared look I could muster and told Matt that I had &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;accidentally&lt;/span&gt; hit his car with the wagon. Matt jumped up. "Is there a dent" he said with a tone that tried to sound less angry than he really was. "just a small one I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;replied&lt;/span&gt;." He rushed out the door and started looking all around the back on his car where I had parked the wagon. I trailed behind him but by this time could not keep from laughing. As he searched each side of the car he soon picked up on my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;laughter&lt;/span&gt; and the laughing of the CIT and realized I was pulling his leg. He still spent a few more seconds assessing his baby before he accepted I had been playing with him and went back into the barn.

You're too short to reach the rope."&lt;br /&gt; I was so embarrased!!

I had some work to do to make up for that. We spend what was left of the first morning learning the stable routine. Mostly the stable routine is getting rides in and out on the half-hour and the shoveling manure in between.&lt;br /&gt;    After the first day we went to shower and prepare for inspection. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;CITs&lt;/span&gt; were in charge of lowering the flag at inspection. just before inspection while the drummers were practicing we gathered at the flag poles. The CIT director &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;approached&lt;/span&gt; me and the other stable CIT and asked us about our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;tardiness&lt;/span&gt;. I started to explain the we didn't know that breakfast was earlier for stable crew and just as I started to elaborate I heard someone yell "BullS$#@." The Equestrian director had walked up behind us and didn't agree with my explanation.  What I  intended to say was that we had probably been told about the schedule, but fifteen year-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;olds&lt;/span&gt; don't always remember details well so we had forgotten. But the Equestrian Director seemed to think I was inferring it was his fault. He &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;proceeded&lt;/span&gt; to yell a few other things at me in front of the entire staff as they prepared for the inspection. What else could I say. I shrugged and told the CIT director that I wasn't going to argue with him but we had just misunderstood.&lt;br /&gt;    My first week was not going so well. In twenty-four hours we had been late and been cursed at in front of everyone. Certainly I must have been thinking that things would have to get better. They couldn't get worse could they?  The answer is of course they could.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note - I want to note that while our first impressions were probably not great. I went on to have a good working relationship with the Equestrian Director. We worked together the next two years and he was great to work for despite his sometimes "Prickly" personality. Turns out the one thing you don't want to do is make him mad before breakfast. He was not a morning person. But we was a good guy and he taught me a lot about horses.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Heepwah&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-1724005655258885227?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1724005655258885227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=1724005655258885227' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/1724005655258885227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/1724005655258885227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-first-week-at-camp-part-2.html' title='My first week at camp part 2'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-9094237707918096203</id><published>2007-10-30T19:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-30T20:10:49.425-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My first week at camp part 1</title><content type='html'>The summer of 1986 was my first year at Camp O. My brother was second year staff and I was going to be a stable C.I.T. I had never been a camper and had only heard of camp because my brother had been a C.I.T. before me and now was a full fledged member of the stable crew. I had always wanted to learn to ride horses, but as a city kid from the south side of St. Louis I had only really been on a horse once on a vacation ride at the Lake of the Ozarks. I was pretty overwhelmed when I first dropped my stuff off at the C.I.T. lodge I felt way out of place. I found out one of the other four &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;C.I.T.s&lt;/span&gt; was going to be in the stables too. He had on a lodge sash and had been a camper for many years so I decided I would just follow his lead. That was my first mistake.&lt;br /&gt;   The opening campfire was a blur. We had to put on a skit I think but I don't remember what it was. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Equestrian&lt;/span&gt; Director told us to meet him at the barn at 6:30 A.M. for feeding.&lt;br /&gt;      We were there right on time a little tired and a lot &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;nervous&lt;/span&gt; but feeding went fine. We went back to the C.I.T Cabit and I asked the other C.I.T what time breakfast was. He said 8:15 so we thought we had time to get a little more rest. Of course my brother was stable crew so I should have know better and I am sure that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Equestrian&lt;/span&gt; Director told us but this early it had slipped my mind that the stable crew breakfast was at 7:00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   We realized our mistake about 8:10 when the E.D. tracked us down at the dining hall and informed we were already late. There would be no breakfast that morning. The E.D. was actually rather calm considering we were late our first day. Of course it would not be long before that would change.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-9094237707918096203?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/feeds/9094237707918096203/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9980733&amp;postID=9094237707918096203' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/9094237707918096203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/9094237707918096203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-first-week-at-camp-part-1.html' title='My first week at camp part 1'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980733.post-7567683992872382898</id><published>2007-10-30T19:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-30T19:51:56.246-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lodge reunion.</title><content type='html'>Someone on the message boards has asked how the Camp Lodge reunion went the weekend of Oct. 19th.

I was by no means an expert storyteller so I am asking if anyone knows where any of these stores may be posted online please let me know. Otherwise if anyone could take the time to write them I would post them here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also repeating my plea for you best Camp Ondessonk pictures.

I am a former staffer and while on the web one day I thought there should be a place where it is easy for Ondessonk staff and campers to reconnect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found this site &lt;a href="http://www.htc.net/%7Esbushong/campo.htm"&gt;Camp Ondessonk e-mail Connection Page.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This site was put up By Steve Bushong. Steve was the unit leader of Tekawitha my first year at Ondessonk. We all called him Bush and he is a great guy. I don't think the site is being updated thought so I thought I could do my part and Make it easy. It is probably a lot of work to keep update the site so I thought I could cut out the middleman and let people do it themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to reconnect with members of the Ondessonk Community just Fill out this form&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://heepwah.wufoo.com/forms/ondessonk-staff/" title="HTML form"&gt;Ondessonk staff Contact form &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://wufoo.com/"&gt;Powered by Wufoo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you and Heepwah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://heepwah.wufoo.com/reports/ondessonk-staff/" title="Registered Staff"&gt;View those who have registered already &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9980733-117392809434547323?l=heepwahblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/117392809434547323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9980733/posts/default/117392809434547323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heepwahblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/ondessonk-staff-and-campers-can.html' title='Ondessonk staff and campers can reconnect'/><author><name>Heepwah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07755772317514371109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zbKXYD-FcxI/SMNXmLWT8TI/AAAAAAAAAFE/_smPyStynoU/S220/djcpic.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
