And so eloquently told! You truly have a gift, my friend. Keep your work up to this caliber and you will not be a professional resume sender for much longer...

I know the neighbors thought I was "terrorizing" you but it had to be done and look at what a fabulous mop of hair you now have! Great writing- love to imagine you there both as a camper and a counselor. And I absolutely love the photo- what a handsome, daper dude. By the way, we do have an opening for a part time file clerk/part time medical assistant! Lots of stories in those charts and exam rooms........ Write on. Suzanne Conor,

But here's a little nugget of advice, should you choose to further your writing career: never apologize for a well-written piece. Connor- I greatly enjoyed your story.

The campers were certainly not trrrorized, or terorized, or however you wish to spell it, and as a former camper, I remember the games played revolving around the camp stories as some of the most exciting and fun times of my childhood. As a counselor, I, and my fellow counselors, only wished to provide the younger generation with a similar experience, which is exactly what we managed to do. That being said, "mind games" were not the only things I could come up with. We also taught the campers songs, map and compass, survival techniques, teamwork skills, crafts, nature, cooking, and a bevy of other things that all add up to a pleasant lifelong memory. It wasn't all trrror.
