Eph,
Your attention to detail is astonishing. In my previous posting I mentioned that my brother Joel is the king of retaining useless information. (remember, oakum v. newcomb). I think all would agree that you have usurped that title from him. He is merely a jester in your court. Your recollection about the grasshoppers on the A-field is incredible and it really brought me back to those hot days up there. Do you recall the potholes all over the field that we had to avoid while sprinting down the sideline? It's amazing that neither Flip nor Tommy David broke an ankle while running the 440 (barefoot) around the perimeter in their quest to set an A-field record.

By the way, in the Tribune this morning there is an article about parents sending their kids packages at camp. Today, things are quite different then when we were campers. Now, parents are trying to outdo each other by sending Game Boys, Palm Pilots, cell phones, etc. The good old days of smuggling candy or chocolate chip cookies inside a new mess-kit or in the toe of a pair of shoes are gone. (my personal favorite, by the way, was the little trick that Andy Shore told his parents to employ--he wanted....needed.....candy on a daily basis so he had his parents stuff carmels inside the fingers of a baseball mit. He eventually got caught when someone got suspicious that he kept "losing" his mit and needed a new one. Brilliant one, Andy!).
