I did bring back some interesting archives from the retreat. Like this leftover photo album. Apparently the pictures are from a Tina Jackson of Whitleyville, TN. I did a reverse lookup via the internet on this individual, but there’s no Tina Jacksons in Whitleyville. Must have gotten married and/or moved away. Anyways I’m poundering what to do with these pictures. I felt sure the name and address I found on one of the pictures was valid. But apparently not. If I could somehow find a reverse lookup on the address….. But alas it’s too much trouble just for these pictures. Perhaps I should scan some and put them up here…in case the owner stumbles upon this website….
The pictures aren’t too old. They’re marked with dates as late as May 2001. I feel pretty sure she is still around.
Then there’s the Bible I found. The Bible of Kevin Williams of Lebanon, TN. Used to go to church with us. I’m pretty sure its his Bible. Must have left it at camp 10 years ago. It’s not unusual. I found Scott Burka’s Bible at the same camp a full 5 years after it was left.
Kevin was an interesting fellow. His first (and apparently only) time at summer camp he brought a TV. Hear that folks: a TV. And the camp rules specifically said “No electronic devices.” This was huge deal back then…for some reason. A TV at camp. Nowdays it’s not unusual for a kid to bring a complete entertainment system to camp. I’m not sure what he thought he was going to pick up. Maybe that ABC station in Bowling Green. Otherwise it was a big huge useless device. Useless until our counselor confiscated it and later used it to watch the camp video on the last night. Goodness. The things kids bring to camp.
