I may not do justice to your questions or make you believe any differently about Jordan and the traditions he brought with him to the new Camp Horseshoe.
I had the pleasure of attending the original Camp Horseshoe for eight summers as a camper (pioneer through ranger) and returned for a ninth summer as a counselor. Jordan and I were also in the oldest cabin together and maintain being friends today. During my eight years, I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Doc Hirshberg (he taught me how to fly fish), Gordy Morrison, Bob Mercer, Don Cohen, etc. The traditions that you refer to are similar to the traditions of the original Camp Horseshoe although some of the names changed. However, the chief is still the chief in name and spirit.
Some of the other counselors you mention, Harry Prendergast ("H") and Bill Engel, were counselors at the original Camp Horseshoe. Their returning to the new Camp Horseshoe is a testament to the strength and charachter of the original Camp Horseshoe.
To this day, I will never forget all the wonderful lessons I learned at camp and how going to Camp Horseshoe helped me grow personally.
Sheila, it warms my heart to hear of the wonderful experiences your son had at camp. Jordan and Fran are special people. I sure hope he goes back next summer for more terrific experiences.
