2007 Call.qxd - Camp Mowglis

Hank "Sandy" Phillips ('50) shared with us "My son Brian John Phillips
('91) is now in graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh.
He's in a master’s-doctorate program in political science. His special
interest is The European Union. He wants to be a university
professor. Brian is a 2005 graduate of the University of Cincinnati,
where he majored in political science and journalism. He served as
editor-in-chief of the school newspaper. Brian served on active
duty in the U.S. Marine Corps (infantry) for four years where he
was a sergeant. When he has a summer break, Brian told me he
wants to hike the Appalachian
Chad Bradbury (‘83) and
Trail, beginning in
Warren Anderson (‘72)
Pennsylvania. His Mowglis
experience, albeit brief, was indelible!”

Jorge Covarrubias ('82) sent us an update via our Web site:
"It was a fun memory to look around in the Web site and
will be in contact with Mowglis always, from now on. I'm
a proud father of two and one more on the way."
David Concannon ('79) led his third expedition to the wreck
site of the R.M.S. Titanic in 2005. David, who has served
on the Board of The Explorers Club in New York City and
as General Counsel to the X-Prize Foundation, credits
Camp Mowglis for his love of exploration. His son Ian
hopes to attend Mowglis in 2008.
John Rafferty (staff 1994-99) writes: "Life is good here in Maine. I am currently working at the
Eliot Recreation Department as the Youth Program Coordinator. I have been working
with youth for the past 15 some odd years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Some of
my fondest memories date back to my Tripmaster years at Mowglis. Thinking back on
those years always reinforces why I chose the profession that I am in. When I first started
taking kids into the mountains, they weren't too fond of the experience. Year after year
the same kids kept coming back, but with all the proper backpacking gear such as gaiters,
packs, boots and the occasional crazy creek chair. Somehow all those funny "What to Pack
for a Trip" campfires paid off along with the actual experience of venturing off in the
mountains. The feeling of knowing that I had made a difference
in quite few campers' lives is tremendous. I took my son
a couple years back to the camp for a short tour of the
grounds, and it felt good knowing someday that he too would
have the knowledge of his dad and all his teachings. I hope to
keep in better touch with Mowglis in the coming years.
Please keep me posted on events via email."
Kerry Carpenter ('00) lives only a few miles from camp, but we
had not heard from him until this update from the Web site:
It has been seven years since I have sent correspondence, I
think it is time that I do. I graduated in the year of 2000, and
sometimes wonder what has changed since I left the campus. I
currently go to Plymouth State University; I aim to complete a
B.A. in Criminal Justice in 2008-09. Currently I have taken to making antique
Volkswagens fast. My latest project was a 1991 VW GTI, into which I placed a 240 horsepower
engine. It seems to be a speeding ticket on wheels. For work, luckily I became
acquainted with Team O'Neil Rally School and Car Control Center, where the school cars
are all VW's. I help to maintain the roads and the equipment that is used on a daily basis.
