Scott Sliver: Is That You Counselor?
Sunday, July 13th, 2008
A week or two before heading out to Eco Adventures camp from June 14-20, 1985, I received a postcard in the mail from the counselor of our group. The postcard was a photo of a young guy with a ‘Rick Springfield’ look, hiding behind a large plant. It was odd, I grant you, but I knew that I was in for a fun week when I saw that my counselor just might be half as nutty as I was. It turned out that Scott Sliver was an extremely charismatic guy with a great outlook, a wild sense of humor, the ability to effectively communicicate the Gospel, and a rare personality that would allow him to connect with virtually everyone.

Wendy Johnston was among a group of gals that included Kim Littlejohn, Dorinda Dohner, and Amy and Mandy Angle, with whom I attended two weeks of Eco-Adventures camp at Woodland Altars in 1985 and 1986. Although we were friendly during our first year of camp, she and I along with others formed a cohesive bond and became an inseparable clique during the second year. She, Mandy, and Darin Anderson were all in my group counselled by Brian Bohlander and Gloria Landis, so we had ample time to spend together that week.

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
After our scrumptious dinner at Lawry’s the evening of Friday, April 4, 2008, we needed one last activity in which to partake so that Bob and I could round out this memorable vacation in Texas. That morning while ogling the condom that we found behind the TV at our Motel 6, we also watched a local morning program on which they were interviewing to of the former Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz. They just happened to be in Dallas that day to promote the showing of the film at the Morton H. Myerson Symphony Center. I thought that this would be a cool addition to all we had done, to actually catch a celebrity while in Dallas. Read the rest of this entry »
