Carl Hokanson provide a new piece of Camp Clark memorabilia. His brother Richard also a Camp Clark alumnus passed this document on to Carl and Carl forwarded it to me. This piece has a special point of interest for yours truly. So a special thanks to Carl and Richard Hokanson.
As I prepped this piece to get it ready to post (a little Photoshop tweaking) I read it as the tweaks brought out some of the faded words.
For the first time there it was my name Wayne Griffiths in a comtemporanous document from Camp Clark in it's 54th season. Answering the question "what did you like best about camp?"
Wayne Griffiths "losing my fear of deep water".
If you can date this document that would be a great piece of info. With the passing of my mom and dad I have no idea of when this could have been. Two hints in the document 1. all the campers were 10 years old. 2. The cabin Craigleigh. I was born in 1947 so this would make this document a 1957 writing. Meaning the camp's first season would have been circa 1903.
Thanks Carl and Richard. Enjoy memories.
