1969 Camp Sagamore

JACKSON'S JALOPIES

It is 1969 and we have finished 9th grade! We are all about 14 years old.

Our camp group was named after our Camp Counselor, Donna Jackson. (see her picture below sitting on the bed, the look on her face is What have I gotten myself into?).

Top picture in the CUTE HOT PINK sweatshirts are Jpen, & not sure - is it Cathy or Debbie, then there is Jkle's cousin Sherry, I think.

Sittin' on top of the bed is Dcog and Dkee, looks like they are playing poker! nah!

Remember NO MIXED SWIMMING with the BOYS, the girl's swimming pool was where we went every afternoon.

Fixing our hair and makeup ....

Sleeping Beauties!!!

Dcog! What are you doing in so many pictures???????????

HEY - I don't remember if we did a skit, if you have memory of it- please click on comment at the bottom of the page and tell me.

I do remember Mrs. Jackson was very nice, and shortly after camp was over we learned she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Wonder where she is today?

Did we sing? Yes, all the time!

My first memory of singing together is 3rd grade church choir, with Trevelyn Ray as our director. I was so shy! We soon progressed to the Sextet group above is April 1967:Dkel, Skni, Jpen, Bbow, Jkle, Dcog.

Baseball girls May 1969 You've Gotta Have Heart! Dkel, Jpen, Bbow, Jkle, Skni & Dcog We even did hand bells! December 1968

Later in junior high, we expanded our ensemble and the rumor was that I only had ONE LUNG! Yes, I told Don McCall I only had one lung so I didn't have to hold my note so long. Shame on me, lol. Oh the things we did to him. Then later we were in the ensemble Inheritance (is that the right name?) and that group had guys & girls.

December 1972 above is Dcog, Chor, Skni, Cfar, Jpen, Dkel, Broh, (not sure about these last 2)Vwal?, Stho?

Music is part of our life. Dcog still plays the piano to this day! She is very gifted. She has played the piano for 2 of my weddings and was a bridesmaid in the first one. Dkel has sung in a acapella adult group as well as sung in one of my weddings. Stho graduated from Baylor music dept. and teaches music in Crowley schools. I think we all have been part of adult church choirs since. Music has blessed my life.

How has it blessed yours?
