Larry: Thanks for all your work for MAC alumni. I spent about 7 summers at Cedars in the late 40's and 50's. I have copied some of my camp slides and placed ...
I just really got to take a good look at Wendell's pictures of Camp Cedars. They are NOT to be missed. What a great look back at the earlier days in Camp!...
that's just way cool! Much of it looks just like it is today, the ground and some trees I mean. But, even more has me trying to figure out, "where is that?...
Wow! Those pics from Wendell are fantastic. For being almost 50 years old, the resolution on them are great! Looks like they were taken yesterday with a high...
Doug, and others: They ARE wonderful pictures and, other than the clothing, so timeless! Kids still look like kids do nowadays, for the most part! As to what...

Since Kenny "Camper" King has relocated to Northern Michigan University from the warmer climes of the cornfields near Dekalb, Illinois, he has also relocated...
Doug: The two canoe pictures, according to the slide they came from, were taken in 1958 at Lewis and Clark Lake behind the Gavins Point dam on the Missouri....
Darn, Wendell! <s> I should have recognized those bluffs along the then-young Lewis and Clark Lake (having been there a time or two myself), and *should* have...
Wendell: Thanks very much for the fine photos of the camp when we were both there. I was in charge of the lakefront activities in 1957 and was the Aquatics...
Thanks, Larry. When my next book comes out in the spring, I'm going to have to hire you as an agent. ;-) And I wish a happy holiday season to all, no matter...
I remember all of that. And I helped build the stage and performed with the Ahamo Indians for 25 years. Good memories! Lloyd Roitstein MODERATOR'S COMMENT:...

Bruce - Remember you well. Thought you would enjoy the pictures, as well as memories of paint, tar and sweat while in the June sun preparing the pool for a new...
I meant to comment before, Wendell, about the pictures of caulking the pool. Most of my own years at Cedars were spent in the Aquatics staff, and I was also...
Larry: We had big time leaks way back in the late 50's. The wall closest to the bathhouse had moved away from the pool and had a large gap in the bottom. As I...
Oh the memories come floating back. I seem to recall during a Spring OA conclave one Saturday evening when a group of us spent partaking of a particular...
Bruce: Almost all the time I was on staff we also ran those canoe trips from North Bend down to (what we always called) the "inlet" (the big stream down below...
As regards the many and profligate leaks in the old Cedars pool, consider that, per what all I ever heard, that the fill for the pool shell was brought in with...
That was '73 Jack. I was the Camp Director. And the well had a snake in it. What memories. And Paul Ryan's 1.8 hot dogs per person, Lloyd Roitstein...

It's interesting that you mention Paul Ryan: I met two camp staffers at National Camping School last spring, who were from Paul's last council (Scenic Trails,...
He was a coke-a-holic. Was also cheap. Think we had one hose, broom, shovel, hammer in camp. And he answered the phone "Ryan here". He was a character, but...

Just a note: POOL LEAKS are not to be confused with "leaking in the pool"! Not that it stopped the Scouts from doing that (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) But then,...
I'm under the impression that the new nature lodge, a "million dollar project" is "sliding into the lake". It developed some pretty big cracks down the middle...
LLoyd, I did NOT need to know that about the snake. Even tho, hopefully, it does not live there now. I'm still trying to work up the courage to be within 3...
I remember my dad always made sure he got blue swimmer so he could go down the river, both at Wakonda and Cedars, with his troop on innertubes. Those trips...
