Roy,
I attended camp from 1980 through 1987. I remember your name and have a vague recollection of your face. However, I do have one distinct memory from the summer of 1980 that I would like to share. I hope I am connecting the right memory with the right person, if not, I guess I am getting old (it was over 22 years ago).
I was a Pioneer in Pioneer C with John Dinnes. During the second week of Red/Blue competition I experienced my first Super Relay. I think you were a blue team advisor that weekend. That Sunday afternoon you painted your face blue and dubbed yourself the "Blue Goon". You were jumping around and yelling with that southern drawl, so much so, that I could not help getting into the spirit of the event with amazing vigor. This was despite the fact that my event was the lowly scavenger hunt at the Wildlife Lodge, as opposed to the glamorous rock dive. Being a Chicago native I was probably picking up P.I., when the list clearly stated wintergreen leaf. But that didn't matter. My only memory was being psyched up by the completely insane "Blue Goon".
If this was in fact you, thanks for the memory and the great picture of the rainbow.
