Another year, another visit to Waupaca! Going strong since 1996, eight alumni gathered in Waupaca to reminisce, reconnect, and remember all the stories we created while at Camp Waupaca For Boys. We also had an opportunity to visit camp this summer and meet new CYJ director, Dan Ravitch. Dan is super interested in our history and we are feeding him info about our past. We look forward to working with Dan for many years to come.
We always try to conduct the annual Camp Waupaca Reunion Group council meeting at camp if we can, and this summer was no exception. The weather wasn't the best, so we decided to take our lunch and meeting into the rec hall. During the meeting, we experienced "high winds" (those of you who were at camp in 1983 may remember a similar event!). We had to suspend our meeting and seek shelter in the basement of the building. According to Big Chief Paul Warshauer, who could not attend due to illness, this was the first time our meeting was impacted by inclement weather.
Here's who attended this year's event:
| Errol Grisard | (1972-1972) | |
| Billy Kruzel | (1975-1977) | |

This has absolutely nothing to do with Camp Waupaca. The fellow with white hair and beard: doesn't that look like actor Denver Pyle?!? |
