517- DO YOU REMEMBER "Summer Camp"?...I LOVED IT!.....

A) Every inch of my summer camp days were spent at Camp Bethel near Fincastle, Va.! You are invited to think back to your own memory bank as I progress with mine......
B) 'Hillside' was a rustic, wooden, covered on top only, assembly place built up the side of a wooded hill. Way back, ron rascal carved my name, and then girlfriend's name, up high in a wooden after. Years later, a memory trip back searched and found it...again....a tiny tear or three....
C) 'The Old Dining Hall'...was beside the edge of a small lake, surrounded by trees. Can still "see" someone ringing an ancient dinner bell outside beside the double-swinging door that "SLAMMED" every time someone went through without catching one or both. There were assigned seats at simple homemade picnic tables inside.
D) 'The Rec Hall'...made of river stones and still there. I learned to place 'Four-Square' in there, and how to skillfully play 'table tennis' (ping pong). And to SWIM with assuredness, even being a lifeguard one summer.
E) Shhhhhh...one night three of us slipped away, across a fence to a pond filled with a frog or three. We brought a couple back and added to the lights-out rustic cabin's ambiance....
