This summer Dave will make his annual trip up to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to be a camp counselor at our beloved Kingswood Camp for Boys. For the second year in a row, I will be joining him. But this will mark only my 7th summer up at the camp on Lake Tarleton, pedestrian numbers compared to my brother.
As the story goes, I was a camper too, just like Davey (as he was known back then), entering Kingswood in 1999. Weird Al ruled my brand new Sony Walkmen and Courage the Cowardly Dog was clearly the best thing ever to happen to TV.

I stuck with it,
returning each year for 5 years, but then I dropped off the radar. Dave
meanwhile, did not miss one summer. For 14 years. 14 years!!!
Last year, he convinced me to come back and give counselorship a try.
Suffice to say, there were a lot of costumes involved.
Unclear if intentional....
Definitely intentional....
Who's more convincing?

I might have to say that the only thing that rivals the company you keep at Kingswood is the natural beauty. When Dave and I find ourselves on fishing or hiking trips together, we invariably wonder: How can this be our job? Looking forward to Kingswood Summer 2012. Brothers Unite once again!
