Another year, another summer weekend spent in Waupaca! We had men on the ground from Wednesday July 15 - Sunday July 19. We were hoping for a larger crowd in anticipation of the BIG 65th aniversary of Camp Waupaca, but we ended up with our smallest turnout ever. However, it's not how big it is, it's what you do with it! And we sure did have fun!! At the urging of Rick Passman in 2014, we scheduled our get together in July this year to coincide with the Portage County Fair and the demo derby, minus the Frogmobile!

We also had an invite to visit camp during session (after a paid-for dinner for CYJ Director Noah Gallagher). We have pictures and some entertaining videos making fun of a couple of reunion regulars who were both no-shows in 2015!!

As is our tradition, we memorialize our reunions with a time capsule, capturing the essence of our time spent together. CLICK HERE to read about our fun weekend!

Here is who attended this year:

Mike Lurie	(1970-1981)
Rick Passman	(1963-1976)
Howie Resnick	(1970-1971)
