Kingswood For Life Issue 3

LOOKING PROUDLY DOWN
Ray McGaughey moved to Colorado in August to be Director of
Admissions at the High Mountain Institute, a semester school that
a number of Kingswood outdoorsmen have attended over the years.
Just like at camp, Ray gets to impact the lives of youth and spends
as much time outdoors as possible.
UPDATE for Jared Apuzzo (A.K.A. - Nick Pastrami)
All is well. Living in Mount Vernon, N.Y. Happily married to wife Dana Apuzzo, with 4 year old daughter
Ms. Indiana Rose Apuzzo, and newest member, (and future Kingswood Alumni if I can afford it 10 years
from now), 1 year old son Mr. Arlo Anthony Apuzzo. I'm still playing drums, still making music with my
band "Monogold" and still wondering if Eric Knaus has ever owned a clean pair of underwear. I recall on
one of my many hikes up Mt. Moosilake meeting a "through hiker" on the Appalachian Trail. He had a
funny "trail name" (and a funny smell), but when he told us of his journey starting at the start of the trail in
Georgia and walking all this way headed towards Maine, I knew right then and there that this was something
that was definitely going on my bucket list. I'll probably have to wait til I'm 50 now that I have kids and can't
ever find the time to take 6 months to hike from Georgia to Maine, (and no, I do not want to do it in
sections) but I do believe that eventually I will be able to live out this dream. Thanks Kingswood, for
instilling in me a love for nature and the outdoors. All I can hope is that I can pass down this same
appreciation to my kids so they do not end up stuck in our ever increasingly digital world and miss the beauty
of the real world all around them. Thanks for letting me visit every once in a while and commandeer one of
the Kinswood canoes to camp out across the lake, and I hope to make some time this summer to visit when
my nephew Nicholas returns.
Peace and love to you all!

Not sure if this would make it into the 'news' category but, I'm still living in Paraguay working for Millicom
and getting to see Easley less frequently than I'd like and I'll be doing my darndest to make it to Gus' wedding
in September. If only I still had my '93 yellow K hat to wear around Asuncion...
