Karens Road

I just wanted to let my mom and everyone in the family know that Greg made it home from camp. He looks good. He was a camp counselor at a history camp through the college he attends. Inner-urban teenagers were able to attend this wonderful camp. Although it was disorganized at the beginning, things were worked out and they had a wonderful time. They traveled to Springfield, Illinois on a huge charter bus. The air conditioning went out an hour into the trip. Something was wrong with the electrical so they had no movies to watch. That is not good with a huge group of teenagers. Greg said they got them involved in singing. For some reason, that cracks me up.

The bus was fixed and they made it to Springfield where they visited the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Greg said he enjoyed the visit although the management dropped the ball when making the event interesting. They gave no information about the many statues in the building. There were other things that they could have explained. I thought they could have at least had a brochure that told about Lincoln’s tomb and the other members of the family buried there.

I’m sure that Greg will be telling about his adventurous two weeks at camp after he gets rested up a bit.
