I was just reading through this — waiting for T4 to come out here on a visit to go skiing, and thought I'd update the site a little. Our kids are getting bigger and bigger — and ready to head to camp in a few years. Hopefully they can carve their names next to mine in some of the cabins!

I am the mother of Wapomeo camper Bailey Davis O'Connell. She told me about this site. I was a counselor in 1959. I am looking for Jane Hamblin. She and I were inseparable. She was a bridesmaid in my December 1963 wedding in New York. If anyone knows Jane's whereabouts, please contact me.

After all these years, I still dream about Wap and my days. I met the most wonderful people there 3 of which I still am in contact with. My mom was a counselor and when I was on Senior Island I found her name in a rosie. I hope it's still there. I think I remember all of my counselors: Heather Jack, Kitty O'Shea, Janet Stephenson, Sue Ecceles, Wendy Robinson. I'm missing a few I know. Those summers left an awesome imprint on me. So I live in Chicago with my husband, have 2 stepkids, 1 dog, 1 cat & 2 gerbils and long to be in Algonquin Park. I have to give my sincere thanks to Taylor Statten Camps for giving me such an unbelievable opportunity. As a dwarf, I know it was a risk but the best risk you and I have EVER experienced! Thanks!! If there are any alumns that recognize me - please contact me!! Go Crazy, Go Nuts!! (our Quetico '88 slogan) Peace... |

I am trying to find out who my section head was. We went by "Hamo's Hustlers". The shirt depicted a busty woman holding a canoe. Would someone be able to tell me what year that was, and what and where Mr. Hamovitch might be? Best, |

It's been thirty years since I was last on staff at Wapomeo! (The best four summers of my youth.) I'm thrilled to say that our daughter Annie Featherstone (Wap camper '99 to 2001/September Camper '97 to present) is working in the Wapomeo office this July! We're also attending September Camp August 29 to September 2. Looking forward to it all.

As for alumni news... I was married to Patrick Gay in 2003 (wedding attended by TSC alums Sarah Lawrence (maid of honour), Sarah Gibbons (née French), Mike Conradi, Frances (Archery) Juriansz, Mary Hassard and Vicky Frizelle) and we moved immediately thereafter to beautiful Sydney, Australia.
Here, Patrick and I welcomed a future Wap camper, Grace Kathryn (now 2) into our family. Alas, we'll have to let her skip school to attend camp because there is no long holiday in the middle of winter. For the latter half of 2007, we will be located in Geneva Switzerland for work. Alumni friends who find themselves in Sydney are always welcome to join us for a barbie at the beach. There's not a lot of canoeing tripping opportunities down here (darn drought), but the surf is great! Regards, |

My new book called "Tapping the Iceberg" focuses on helping you unleash your possibilities through my Straight A's philosophy in life Attitude, Aptitude & Action.
"Tapping the Iceberg" is already a national best seller.
For more details and how to order the book please visit www.timcork.com
I went to Ahmek from 1967 to 1981. I was a camper, counsellor and canoe instructor. I still go back to Sept Camp every year. What people are saying: "Through his wisdom, compassion, and humour, Tim inspires you to never lose sight of the childlike wonder within you. This is a critical ingredient for a happy and fulfilling life. A great read!" Taylor Statten, M.D. "Most of us know what we want in life, but only a handful have learned how to get it. Tim's Straight A's philosophy of Attitude, Aptitude, and Action will help you achieve extraordinary results in your business and personal life. I love it!" Raymond Aaron "With Tim Cork as your teacher, it's easy to learn to score Straight A's in life and you'll be entertained in the process." Wallace Immen

My first novel, THE LINE PAINTER, was just published by HarperCollins.
It's about a woman who takes off from Toronto on a road trip, her car breaks down in Northern Ontario and it turns into the trip of her life.

Zoe is niece to Robin Smith-Stephens and granddaughter to Libby Stephens and Michael Smith of TSC fame (or infamy depending on your point of view). Being only a week old, Zoe has yet to develop a Kiwi accent. As a proactive measure I have the movie "Strange Brew" being projected against the wall in her bedroom in a constant loop. At the very least, it will assure her love for Canadian beer and the sound of loons. Arohanui, eh.
