Aha! .... Mrs. Johnson and her daughter Juliet.

Click once on the photo above to see the larger version. Look in the upper left corner of the group. I believe that is Mrs. Johnson.

For months I have tried to remember the name of the camp cook. Tonight for whatever reason out pops "Mrs. Johnson". Strange how memory works. Struggle for month to remember a name with no luck. Then out of the depths of memory pops Mrs. Johnson. I'm pretty sure that was her name. I'm also fairly sure her daughters name was Juliet or Julia. Hopefully one of the visitors to this site will either confirm that and / or correct my mistake.

Mrs Johnsons daughter was named Lydia. In the group picture right in front of the flag pole is Warren Hastings. The tall guy to the right is Pete Upton. Next ot him is his brother Joe,then Spike Denny and Uncle Bob with Janice right in front of him. 2 kids to the left of Pete Upton is Clark Dagget. The 6th head to the left of the flag pole is Allen Hastings, the 8th is Bill Eckert

Swimming Awards.

In a previous post I wrote about learning to swim at Camp Clark and "Award Nights" at the end of session Campfire. These are the patches that were handed out at those award nights. I can still remember the feeling of hearing your name being called and walking up and getting your award.

Another website about Camp Clark.

While doing a Google search for Camp Clark I stumble on this website.

Where Was Camp Clark?

Quite a few old campers have left comments including the following:

1. The camp has been around since the early 1940's
2. It was built on the site of the "old Mr. Clarks farm".
3. One of the cabin names was Gordon Cabin (1945)

The best comment was:

"I'm here to tell you that it was one of the greatest camps possible. It was populated by a corps of counselors who had largely been campers themselves, which led to long traditions and a corps of campers who came back for years."

That was the Camp Clark I remember.

I emailed the web master and hope to hear back.
