Okay - this reunion was a bust. We had a signed contract but, due to management turnover problems, Camp Young Judaea, a Hadassah concern, was unable to have us this year. However, a few diehards DID trek to Waupaca, Wisconsin, to hold our very own reunion. Those hearty individuals were: Mike Lurie, Warren Metzdorff, Bob Mowen, Paul Warshauer, and Cathy Weasner-Lurie. A surprise awaited us when we ran into Paul Ringel, with his daughter in tow, at Simpsons Indian Room Restaurant. Paul had reserved the weekend off for the reunion, and still came up to camp at Hartman's Creek State Park!!
The highlights of the weekend included a clandestine drive through camp, dinner at Simpsons Saturday evening, Warren's "explanation" of his infamous "10,000 campers to swim & ski" comment from the 1996 reunion, and a Warshauer-Lurie Wisconsin Dells trip!
Even though there wasn't a real reunion, we still captured the moment with a time capsule summary.
