Northfield. From the Comments:

That photo labeled Northfield is a huge field, about the size of two football fields. It is flat and not rocky at all. (I never remember any field that wasn't rocky)
It is located up behind where Ike Babbit used to be. They must have just bulldozed out all the trees and leveled the whole thing. It has a climbing wall and a rope course and looked to be set up for soccer when I was there.

Swimming award from the jewelry box.

My wife Donna just handed me this small pin. When I asked where it came from she said it was hers and she had it in her jewelry box.

Her question to me was "do you know how hard I had to work to earn this".

My answer was yes I do. All beginning swimmers work very hard to earn at the very least your beginners award.

At some point... the first day.... the first hour or ...the first minute you're sure you are going to drown.

Getting beyond that is hard work.

On my must do list. Fly fish Lawrence Pond for Largemouth Bass.

I have lots of fond memories of the days I spent at Camp Clark. Learning to swim, sail, water ski, paddle a canoe and row a boat. All of these activities / skills I still use today. The one thing I have no memory of is fishing. Although I fished with my dad all around the Cape. I never "wet a line" on Lawrence Pond.



A quick Goggle of Lawrence Pond fishing provide these resources.
See here. And fish survey here. And here for a little history.

Ron Sousa (1970) provides some cool memorabilla. Thanks Ron.

Hi Mom, When you sent me all the gum,Uncle Bob opened it and took it out.So I didn't get it. I told you don't send me gum. Hope the kids are o.k. How are you feeling,did pinky win any ribbons.Ma I made a lanyard. And a recipe holder. I passed chief boatsmens mate. Love Ron.

Now for a little explanation-Hope the kids are o.k.-refers to my four brothers, How are you feeling-refers to my mothers slipped disk in her back, did pinky win any ribbons-refers to pedigree rabbits we owned and brought to 4-H fairs and they were judged and awarded prizes
