Body:	<i>I only went to Camp Russell once, for, if I remember correctly, 2 weeks. I was a little guy and the two weeks seemed like 2 years. I roomed in a cabin with other boys including Pat Jacques. It was very hot that year and we couldn't wait to get in swimming. We used the 'buddy system' meaning that I had a 'buddy' for whom I was responsible and he was responsible for me. That summer, there were 'bloodsuckers' - leaches- in Richmond Pond so we were on the constant lookout for one attached to our bodies. I don't recall ever having one on me. The trip to Camp Russell was by bus and at the time, I thought it took a very long time to get to the camp, 5 or 6 hours at least. I had no idea where the camp was located, and, realistically, I didn't care. I wrote a card to my parents every day and I asked them to visit me and bring me a fishing pole. When they arrived on the weekend, I knew I had the greatest parents ever. They had traveled that long distance from my house to Camp Russell just to see me! And they brought a fishing pole! Those are my memories of Camp Russell. I didn't know until several years later where Camp Russell was located but by then it didn't matter - I still felt my parents were the best ever. Paul </i> *
