Body:	<i>This message is mainly for the male population of our class but any woman can understand the story below. After reading this, if you wish to share a similar experience with Camp Russell or any other fond memories, send me an email and I will put them on our web site or you can comment on our Message Board. This experience was sent to me by classmate Dick Bruno. If you wish to comment directly to him, you can get his phone number and email address from the Contact Classmates section. Paul, I spent two weeks every year form age seven to twelve as a camper, the entire season from ages 13 to 14 as a kitchen crew, and 15 and 16 as a councilor, all experiences that were priceless. AS A VOLUNTEER!! Experiences you could not put a value on. The cost to the camper's family was a less than 20$ ( 13$ when I was going) for three meals a day plus every conceivable outdoor activity, sharing a cabin with eight other kids and watching movies and enjoying campfires and stories every night, PRICELESS, PRICELESS. An experience that not one other person who I have ever met in my life has had. It breaks my heart this program had to be discontinued because some source outside the community brought insurance liability issues to the program forcing wages to volunteers, who didn't want it and thereby forcing the Boys Club to turn the camp into a Day Camp. At least that is my understanding. I'll never forget those early morning wake up calls ' Everybody up, everybody up, its a beautiful day in Richmond' I'd like to hear other experiences of Camp Russell. Dick Bruno </i> *
