More Kingswood Trading Cards
We had too much fun with these Kingswood-style trading cards in last week’s Blues Buster. Check these out:
Kingswood Topps Trading Cards, Part 1
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with sports trading cards. In baseball, especially, I was brutal. I would trade five Mickey Mantles for one Arnold Portocarrero if the latter was tough to get. Remember, in those days we purchased our Topps cards one package at a time, for a nickel. The bubble gum … Continue reading
End of a perfect summer
With the arrival of August came the grim reminder that only a couple weeks remained in Summer 2016. How fast it flew by.

The girls from Wa-Klo arrived in time to have a picnic supper with their suitors-to-be. As it was a dual birthday meal, everyone was whistled indoors for the celebration. … Continue reading

Last evening, a beauty, we had Cabin Carnival. Fat Bob (this director) had fun with his persona, who hated ice cream, children and everything else associated with the occasion. I guess I got a couple of laughs in return. Come dawn, the administrative team met on the Main Lodge front porch for our usual 7:30 … Continue reading
Deep Scrub Day
Sundays are a legitimate change of pace here at camp. Pasted below is this morning’s schedule. You’ll get the idea soon enough and many parents over the years have expressed gratitude that we select this time each week for some reorganization and introspection. Another beautiful day is upon us here in Paradise. DEEP SCRUB DAY: … Continue reading
