Memorial Services

The memorial services for Woodle were very nice and appropriate. Lots of music and pictures. Tina and her husband did a great job creating a video tribute with pictures from birth until now, complete with songs.

The gathering at Frontier Camp was nice. Once Dean brought the food out, the bonding and catching up began. Close to sunset and is when we really started to let loose. I think our visit to the corral helped and gave us all a place to really feel as one. After a refreshing dip in the lake,let me tell you, it was a full moon if you know what I mean(who can resist!), we wrapped up the night at the Rockin' S (PK Pizza, Wayne Dogs, Red Dogs, etc). I think Woodle would have enjoyed watching the generation of camp staff become one. From what we can remember, Jay Craddock led the pack starting his staff career in 1982 taking us all the way to Andrea Walters and Dean who both currently work at camp, but also worked with Woodle.

Thanks to all who made the journey to Eastland and Camp and all those who were with us in spirit. We will miss our friend, but know he will always be with us pushing us to grow greater and laugh more.
