On Saturday, I posed the real blog of the week: the good story of our time in Madrid. Please click on that one, too, while you are here in Bob’s blog area.

Allow me here to introduce Jaime Gil-Casares, who was a camper and counselor many years ago. That’s Jaime, at right, with an English guy named Steve Haynes when they were on the staff in 1996. Jaime was the counselor in Hilly 4 that year. To help you gain perspective, Klaus was a camper and Tim … Continue reading
Here is another batch of group photos, featuring many boys who are slated to return to Kingswood this summer. It is now looking a lot like spring here in Maryland, so summer cannot be too far away. Is anyone NOT looking forward to that?

You best go back and read the story, albeit sort of long. That one is just below today’s Blues Buster report, which plays on … Continue reading
OK, kids, gather close and stare into the campfire while I tell you a story about the greatest catch in the history of baseball. The greatest snag of all time was NOT the back-to-home-plate basket catch by Willie Mays off the bat of Cleveland’s Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series. ESPN had that story … Continue reading
