Thank you so much for your hard work to<br />

make this past weekend such a wonderful<br />

experience.<br />

It was very encouraging to see <strong>Mowglis</strong><br />

prospering in the hands of skilled and caring<br />

staff, a dedicated and hard-working Board,<br />

and under the magnificent direction of Bob. I<br />

think the campus has never looked better. I<br />

regret the need for the new facilities and<br />

amenities (electric lights--shocking!) but<br />

grudgingly admit they will indeed improve<br />

the summer for the boys.<br />

You may imagine how refreshing after my<br />

past 16 years south of the Mason-Dixon line<br />

was that first lungful of crisp piney New<br />

Hampshire air upon getting out of the rental<br />

car on Gray Brothers Field. It only got better<br />

with swimming in the lake, fellowship with<br />

old and new friends at meals, songs, campfires,<br />

dawn canoe tour, chapel, and an earned<br />

and satisfyingly deep sleep in the dorms.<br />

Most fun of course was having my son<br />

experience his first canoe paddle and exotic<br />

riflery and the inspiring grounds and make a<br />

few friends too. First weekend away from<br />

Mom and sister, and first weekend away from<br />

TV and Gameboy--I know I have never seen<br />

him happier.<br />

After this weekend I know the future of<br />

<strong>Mowglis</strong> is secure and bright. I am grateful<br />

that you all shared a small piece of it with me<br />

and Ian over the past three days.<br />

Best regards, Warren Anderson<br />

My joy at <strong>Mowglis</strong> this past weekend was<br />

enhanced when Bob asked me if I would like to<br />

read one of the Chapel lessons! Fact is, I felt<br />

deeply honored that he had asked me to do it!<br />

I am confident that this exhilarating experience<br />

will stay in everyone's memory bank for "many<br />

moons to come!<br />

I just want to say that Denise and I had a<br />

great time at the old <strong>Mowglis</strong> <strong>Camp</strong>. I had<br />

many memories that surfaced while walking<br />

around the camp. We really appreciate the<br />

experience. We met both new and oldacquaintances<br />

that I hope will last for years to come.<br />

Thanks so much for your hospitality!!!<br />

Like so many other aspects of the “Back to<br />

the Pack” weekend, the chapel service awakened<br />

in me the awareness of how pivotal<br />

those chapel services of decades ago were in<br />

planting the seeds of my spiritual life. I am<br />

profoundly grateful to <strong>Mowglis</strong>!<br />

Thanks again for a great weekend. I<br />

have attached a few photos for you.<br />

More will follow when I get a few minutes.<br />

All the best,<br />

Congratulations on what felt like a<br />

friendly enthusiastic group of alumni<br />

and families. It is all so important!!<br />

Carol Southall<br />

Very Nice Job!. It was a load of fun, and<br />

a great way to visit with alums... I look<br />

forward to being involved next year as<br />

well.<br />
