Secondly, we want to continue the rich tradition of being accredited since the process started 50 years ago. Camp Lincoln is approaching its 100th year in operation and since its beginning, has strived for excellence in

everything that it has done. Finally, by being accredited, the general public can trust that our programs offer a solid foundation of health, THE CAMP INDUSTRY safety, and program quality. Also, our camps offer a supervised, positive environment in the outdoors where kids can laugh within a set of controlled boundaries. Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert believe in ACA and its mission.

In 2006, Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert will once again offer scholarships for campers with deployed parents in the US Armed Forces. It’s our way of saying a heartfelt “Thank You” to the men and women in uniform, in addition to the families that support them. If you know of a Minnesota family with a deployed parent this summer, please spread the word about the Camp Lincoln & Lake Hubert scholarship. Specific details and dates will be made available later this spring. P

On a hot June day in 1990, the streets of the Twin Cities were covered with US and Soviet flags. Crowds of people were along the street celebrating the end of the Cold War and the historic visit of Soviet President, Michael Gorbachev to the great State of Minnesota. On that very same day, 150 miles north, the first-ever Soviet Counselor arrived at Camp Lincoln for Boys. Perhaps it was a risky proposition for the camps to bring a Soviet to the Northwoods of at that time, but it was definitely a good thing, as this counselor went on to become Head Counselor, CIT Director, and Fish Tech Director, as well as a very loyal alumnus of Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert over the next decade.

She was pleased to hear that we still sing all of the “old” songs she remembers.

Felix Shular (S45-66) writes he taught school for 37 years and now enjoys bowling, hunting, fishing, golf and gardening. He enjoyed being Junior Camp Director. WHERE ARE THEY NOW? His favorite memory of camp was being a counselor for Sam Cote in Mohawk Cabin – his very best camper. He remembers Bill Jones, the Wilderness Director everyone admired. S Larry Fogelberg (48) came from Alabama and learned to swim and not cry when things didn’t always work out. He sends his congratulations for keeping alive the ideas and ideals that are almost 100 years old. S Stephan (Hill) White (47, 48) lives in Bend, Ore. and writes that his memories of camp remain very strong. His love for sailing and how to handle a canoe all started on Lake Hubert. He remembers the sight and smell of the old sawmill on the lake, the pig roast in that deep pit and camp meals. He says, “As a little kid, I had no understanding of how my Camp Lincoln experiences would form a major part of the fabric of who I was to become.” S Janice (Ryman) Kenner (43-49) writes that in 1992, she and Elizabeth “Ibby” Gray Danforth (40-46), Margie Lee Bradley Swengel (40, 41, S45), Cinni Wahle (43-46), Sally Ann Johnson Stewart (43-45), and Mary Foster Freese (40-42) started having yearly reunions and even visited Camp Lake Hubert together in both 1995 and 1997. On their last visit to camp, one of the Clubhouse Campers told them that she hoped her camp friendships will continue to grow through the years as this group has done for 60 years. She was saddened to report that Ibby Danforth passed away this spring. S Bob Cote (42-51, S52) has just announced his retirement as General Manager of Tanque Verde and the Bellota Ranch after 35 years of running the ranches in Tucson. His wife, Rita, is now in managing the ranch while Bob enjoys retirement and a life of leisure. S Jane K Johnson (49, 50) has retired from teaching and co-owns a small Arabian horse business in Manitou Springs, Colo. She directed Girl Scout camps in Colorado, Arizona, Pennsylvania & Virginia for fifteen years and still is involved with ACA as a Camp Visitor. She enjoys travel, bowling, a western history group, Rotary…and just staying young.

S Judy (Dow) Bishop (49-57, S04, 05) not only helps us recruiting campers in the North Chicago Area, but also comes back to camp each year to help train our staff and get us off to a terrific start in riflery training. Her background as an US Olympic Coach in Riflery is really helpful. No wonder the girls at Camp Lake Hubert have been doing so well in competition with the boys across the lake! S Stan Field (56) writes that he now sells wholesale food and lives in Gravois Mills, Mo. He has two daughters Amy and Courtney, plus one new granddaughter born this year.

...And the Walls Came Tumblin’ Down Historic 90 year old building dismantled at Lincoln

BY SAM COTE he historic old Dispensary building that was Tbuilt in 1916 by William Blake as a residence and meeting place for his early campers was removed late this summer. The building was constructed of variable sized logs from the property itself, with local loggers clearing the back woods and hewing the logs for the construction of the cabin. The building was quite unique in design, with two large open rooms in the middle surrounded by a wide screened porch on two sides. Over the years, the cabin was used for many purposes, from Blake and then Brownie’s residence in the early days, to staff and office housing and eventually Dispensary use in later years. While the building has important historic value, its condition was deteriorating quickly, especially the unique roofing design. Local experts examined it for possible renovation, but it was deemed un-repairable and not safe enough for camping standards. Thus, this September, Bill Jones and a small group of staff took on the challenge to carefully remove this old building. It was a sad day indeed, but some of the interior logs and unique window framing were saved for possible use or display in a future history center. P
