Camp Courageous Honorary Board Member 

Tom Eggleston's Passing Leaves Huge Void, But 

What A Tremendous Legacy He Leaves Behind! 

I had the very good fortune to 

have known Tom Eggleston for 

over 40-years. He was one, along 

with others, who provided me 

the foundation from which I have 

grown. Tom taught me more than 

he would ever realize, not from 

a book, but more importantly, by 

his example. One could never ask 

for a more loyal friend. He always 

went the extra mile for others and 

was always the first to help... never 

needing to be asked. He most often 

saw something that needed to be 

done, and just did it. About 25-years 

ago Tom met with me about coming 

to work with him... ended up a few 

years later Tom caught the Camp 

Courageous fever and became one 

of the most extraordinary volunteers 

in camp’s history. 

Often referred to as “Camp 

Courageous’ Energized Bunny,” 

Tom Eggleston was a one-of-akind. 

Tom’s early profession was 

that of a steel worker. But Tom had 

a greater mission in life. Tom was 

a man of incredible dedication and 

integrity. After surviving a terrible 

fall of several stories, Tom aligned 

himself with work that reflected 

him best. He lead the state of Iowa 

Masons as an employee for many 

years, and after retirement, as their 

Grand Master. In retirement he 

continued to stay active in Masonry 

and his church, but blasted-off with 

Camp Courageous, like nothing we 

had ever seen. 

Tom did circles around everyone 

when it came to obtaining items for 

the camp’s Pineapple Gala. But it 

wasn’t just the Gala... everything 

Tom did, he did 100%. A classic was 

Tom riding his Harley (motorcycle) 

from his home in Cedar Rapids (at 

the age of about 80) to camp with 

a larger than life stuffed animal 

riding on back. There was nothing 

2 

Honorary Board Member Tom Eggleston 

Tom wouldn’t do for camp...and 

everywhere he traveled he left good 

feelings about camp. I have never 

believed in the saying, “Everyone 

is replaceable” and Tom is a prime 

example of why. Tom will be 

impossible to replace, but many 

have stepped forward to help fill 

the void. 

Tom loved his wife, Barbara, 

with all his heart, along with his 

children and grandchildren. They 

made the perfect team... and when 

Tom learned that Camp Courageous 

was honoring both him and Barb 

a couple years ago, his eyes filled 

with tears and he said, “You can’t 

honor me more, than you honoring 

Barb.” 

It is challenging to put into words 

how much Tom will be missed. 

Tom always proved to us that the 

impossible could indeed be done. 

With his health concerns, we always 

felt that somehow he would beat it... 

and his excitement and enthusiasm 

would once again ring out over the 

phone or at the door, with the latest 

item he had obtained... but that 

wasn’t to happen.

Poker Run 

visits camp 

A big thank you to J & P Cylce and all those 

that particpated in the 13th annual Poker Run 

For Camp Courageous. On a rainy Saturday, 

we had a great turn out of dedicated cycle 

riders. The bikers made the day for the 

respite care campers. This is a part of group 

one. 

Jill Parham, along with John Parham Sr. and 

Verna Parham are exceptional volunteers that 

make this all come together. John Parham 

Sr. is a Camp Courageous Board Member 

and Jill and John Parham Jr. are owners of 

J & P Cycle. 

This is part of the second wave of riders to 

come through and thrill the campers. 

Camper Matt of Cedar Falls takes a close 

look with Jill Parham at the 30th Anniversary 

J & P Cycle. 

This is a part of the third wave of cyclist to 

come through camp.

Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous brings 

hundreds of vehicles and visitors to camp 

Thank you to all the participants and visitors that attended the 2010 

Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous event. The Cedar Valley Street Rods have 

always put on a great show, and this year was no exception. Thank you to 

all the car clubs, sponsors, and everyone else that helped make this year’s 

event a great success. 

Campers and visitors were able to meet with 

KCRG personality Ashley Hinson. Thank 

you to the Show You Care sponsors and all 

other sponsors that help make the car show 

possible. 

The Cedar Rapids Corvette Club won the 

participant award for having the most club 

members at the 2010 Cruisin’ event. They 

donated their winnings, additional money, 

and items from the camp’s needs list… what 

a great group! 

This car was a crowd favorite! It won this 

year’s Best of Show award. 

It was wonderful to 

have Todd Smith 

from Alburnett back 

as auctioneer for this 

year's live auction. 

Todd is a wonderful 

volunteer and keeps 

the crowd entertained 

with his good hearted 

teasing and jokes 

during the auction. 

The Bi-State Volkswagen Club loaded down 

this VW Van with items from the camp's 

needs list, along with giving camp a check for 

$1,000. 

(L-R) Neighbor to the Mortons and camp 

supporter Andy Nelson stands with Nicholas, 

Gregg, and LuAnn Morton of Fairfield. Their 

son, Patrick, came to camp from the age of 

3 to 15. He loved this vehicle, which was 

at camp for Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous. 

Andy won the 50/50 and put the winnings 

toward a new sign he is doing for camp. 

Nicholas, Luann, Greg, and Luann's mother, 

stand in front of a plaque in memory of 

Patrick. The plaque reads: 

It's wondrous what a hug can do! 

A hug can cheer you when you're blue, 

A hug delights and warms and charms. 

It must be why God gave us arms. 

So stretch those arms without delay, 

And give someone a hug today! 

In loving memory of our son, brother and 

friend 

Patrick Connor Morton

Marginal Note: Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. 

Thank you to Stutsmans in Hills, Iowa for 

their wonderful donation of salt, and food 

for camp's animals and wild birds. The 

Stutsman Family have been long time 

supporters of camp, going back to the 

company's founder, Eldon Stutsman. We 

can't thank the Stutsman Family enough for 

keeping that tradition alive! Thank you to 

driver, Stan Carmichael, for helping with the 

delivery. Salt is used for the camp water 

softeners and the new nitrate system. 

A big thank you (L-R) to Orvin Yeoman and 

his son Tom Yeoman for providing Camp 

Courageous with much needed garden 

and other tools for years. Thousands of 

volunteers, over the years, have had their 

hands wrapped around an exceptional YoHo 

shovel from Monticello. Thank you Yeomans 

for helping build Camp Courageous! 

Lloyd Welter stands beside a truck load 

of shelving to put all the housekeeping 

supplies on that Pace in Fairfax donated. 

Lloyd has been donating shelving, office 

supplies, and so much more for as long as 

we can remember. He is a true believer 

in the camp and has always been there to 

help, when help is needed.

has obtained items they need, along 

with the financial support the camp 

needs, since it is run on donations. 

A very dedicated committee leads 

the Garage Sale. For these ladies 

the sale goes year-round, as they 

are constantly gathering things, 

washing and mending items, and 

doing whatever they can for the 

betterment of Camp Courageous.

Swanson, and Vera Gienapp. 

Do you have items that you would like 

to donate to the Manchester Garage Sale? 

The garage sale’s success is based on the 

generosity of people donating items to be sold. 

Many items can be donated, however there are 

some items that they will not accept. 

Electronic items are not accepted. No 

televisions or computer equipment. Items 

with a motor, such as treadmills or vacuum 

cleaners, are not accepted. Items need to be 

in clear bags. Items in black or dark bags are 

not accepted. 

If you are unsure if your item will be accepted 

then please call Delores Propst at 563-927- 

3280 or the camp at 319-465-5916. 

Our dear friend, Mabel Kremer, (center chair) 

is surrounded by her children at a recent 

Open House at camp. Mabel provided the 

funds to purchase a new computer server for 

the camp. This server is the main frame... the 

main brains... for the camp's entire computer 

system. Mabel has been involved in every 

project the camp has had since the mid 

80s. She is an absolute gem and stays very 

involved and in the know on every aspect of 

the camp. She has also enlisted the help of 

her whole family in doing things for camp. We 

want to wish Mabel a happy 95th Birthday on 

April 28th. 

Dr. Hill presents past board president, Bob 

Thoeni a nice donation of needed items from 

his benefit at Hill Chiropractic in DeWitt for 

the camp. We are very grateful! 

Thank you to Dr. Hill and the DeWitt Noon 

Lions Club for inviting Camp Courageous to 

provide them a program. These long time 

supporters of the camp have a great time 

at their meetings and at the same time help 

thousands of folks in need. 

Thank you to the Iowa City Old Capitol 

Kiwanis Club for their donation of plastic ware 

to the camp. This is a wonderful help for the 

breakfasts and for camper use. Thank you to 

Al Wicks for delivering three big cases full!

It was an honor to have the Mutual Managers, 

for Area 4 of the Mutual Insurance Association 

of Iowa meet here at Camp Courageous on 

April 16. Former Board Member, John Sill (The

group. Special thanks to Duff Coleman, Castle 

Grove Mutual Insurance in Monticello, Secretary/ 

Treasurer of Area 4, for making this happen. 

Winter and Spring updates to train tracks will 

allow for more camper usage the year-round 

In order for the camp’s train to perform year-round, no matter what 

the weather, the ground in which the track is laid has to be level. In 

order for camp’s track to be level, a few hundred loads of gravel needed to be hauled in, 

starting last fall, after the breakfast. This turned out to be no small project. Special thanks 

to Gerry Rohr for coordinating the project, starting last Fall with Jerry McElmeel, from 

McElmeel Excavating and Grading in Monticello. Thank you to Kromminga Motors for 

providing equipment throughout the project. This spring volunteer board member, Steve 

Supple of Cascade gathered the wonderful support of Mike Beck Construction (Cascade) 

and Terry Gravel (Gravel Grading and Excavating). We can not thank these folks enough 

for donating trucks and drivers to make this project possible. A group of caring folks! 

Once again the Deutmeyer Family, from Weber Stone came through with all the gravel 

we needed from their Stone City location, for free! We can’t thank them enough. This 

relationship began with Bill & Marge Weber and carried down through the generations 

with Frank & Joyce Deutmeyer, and now their kids, Mike and Pat Deutmeyer. 

Kevin Koppes and Ben Frasher, both of 

Cascade used trucks provided by Terry 

Gravel to haul dozens of loads of gravel. The 

Gravel Family have been great supporters of 

the camp for many years! 

Custom Pre-Cast out of Cascade donated 

several semi loads of huge pre-cast retaining 

walls. We can not thank the Kelchen Family 

enough for this wonderful donation. Helping 

Custom Pre-Cast Company is Weber 

Construction out of Cascade with equipment 

to dig in areas by the camp’s west fence 

to put in retaining wall for the camp’s train 

project. 

Thank you to the Fritz's Tae Kwon Do of 

Monticello for volunteering to ballist the rail for 

the train. With the new elevation of the track 

it needed to be ballisted. This group has been 

there for camp to help on many occasions. 

Great group! 

L-R) Cubby Manternach, Pat “Huggy” Howard, 

and Fred Kramer all of Cascade donated their 

time and Mike Beck’s trucks to make the 

project succeed! Great guys who have helped 

the camp a lot over the years! 

Volunteers on the train project included (Front 

L-R) Cubby Manternach, Mark Weber, and Ed 

Manternach. (Back L-R) Pat “Huggy” Howard, 

Board Member Steve Supple, and Andy 

Noonan. All long time supporters of camp! 

(L-R) Train Engineer, Gerry Rohr, is assisted 

by Pictured Rocks United Methodist Church 

Camp Director, Gary Wilson. Gary has 

done a lot of volunteer work here at Camp 

Courageous since coming to PRUMC. Gary 

is a wonderful person, as is his wife, Gwen 

and children Brett (6) and Kate (3). They are 

there to help however they can and we try to 

do the same in return. We can't ask for nicer 

neighbors! 


Here is a wonderful couple, Lynn and Martha 

Kobliska. Both play key roles as camp's 

volunteer representatives in the Washington 

DC area. Lynn is with the Justice Dept. and 

Martha with Homeland Security. Lynn has 

played a key role with camp's train project 

and has represented camp at Combined 

Federal Campaign events in DC. Camp is 

very fortunate our paths have crossed with 

this dedicated couple! 

The city of Monticello had a community 

weight loss contest, sponsored by Above 

& Beyond located in Monticello. Those 

participating lost 2,200 pounds! The 

community's compassionate friends at Above 

and Beyond decided to take that weight and 

buy that many pounds of food and provide it 

to Camp Courageous and the area food bank. 

(L-R) Camp's Dietary Director, Dennis Bayne 

accepts pallets full of food from Becky Cooper 

and Keri Boffeli from Above & Beyond. We 

can't thank Above & Beyond enough for 

thinking of Camp in this special way, and for 

providing such a healthy opportunity for the 

community. 

A big thank you to Mel Holubar for inviting 

camp to give a presentation to the Marion 

Sunrisers Kiwanis Club. These long time 

supporters meet at the Marion Hy-Vee 

and have traveled to camp on numerous 

occasions to donated items, like a wonderful 

youth first aid kit! Members include Will Ogle, 

Emil Koval, Norm & Mary Ellen Wright, Mel 

& Carolyn Holubar, George & Nancy Domer, 

Jim & Mildred Jessen, Don & Donna Bean, 

and Gordon Bowser. 

Marginal Note: Love is always an appropriate gift. 

Denny and Janet Zahrt of Bettendorf unload 

cases of items for the Pineapple Gala. The 

Zahrts, along with others, are picking-up the 

pace for Gala, to help fill the void left with the 

passing of Tom Eggleton. 

A big thank you to Elda Licht for her labor 

of love crocheting this beautiful Psalm 23 in 

memory of her brother, Eldon Ruchotzke. 

This will be an auction item at the Pineapple 

Gala. Elda and her entire family have 

been very involved in camp for decades… 

from her brother attending camp to her 

granddaughter being a counselor and all 

being supporters. 

The Muscatine Student Council had a fund 

raiser called, “Senior Survivor 2010”. They 

had to stay at school for five days and 

participate in many unique activities; all in 

the name of raising money for charity. Over 

$1,000 was raised for Camp Courageous. 

We are very grateful for the dedication and 

hard work of the students! These students 

placed 2nd....but were first in our book. (L-R)

KellieAnn Burton, Sara Snow and Brady 

McGriff (not pictured).

Dear Jeanne, 

Rain or shine it doesn't matter. A day at 

Camp Courageous is always delightful, 

and this year was no exception. All of 

the kids (and adults) had a marvelous 

time again. The kids were so excited 

that it was a little hard to keep some of 

them “reined in” at times. As always, 

though, the counselors made it a great 

day, the activities were wonderful, and 

everyone had a fabulous time. They 

really kept busy, which is the key. It 

was a great idea to pair the ice cream 

making with another activity. That 

way no one had to wait long while we 

cranked away! 

Thanks, Jeanne, for once again hiring 

great staff & for having everything so 

well organized. I will certainly miss 

getting to bring a group to camp next 

year. Maybe I'll just have to come 

myself & tag along with a group! 

Sincerely,

The late Elmer 

Peiffer had an 

estate sale, in 

which he had 

$1,000 from the 

sale go to Camp 


Thank you to 

Paul Glenn 

(pictured above), 

who worked as 

the auctioneer to 

make this wish 

come true. Elmer and his an entire family have 

been long time supporters of camp, going back 

to rope pulling contests in the early 80s. Paul 

Peiffer (wife Barb) and Eileen (Peiffer) Steffen 

(husband Dave) are the last of the family. 

Camp’s sympathy goes out to the Peiffer Family. 

They have left us many wonderful memories. 

Board Member Jim Zimmerman (far right back) 

represented Camp Courageous at Lambert 

Elementary School in Manchester where he 

picked up the pop tabs that have been collected 

this year. The students loaded 14 tubs of tabs 

– they weighed 126 1/2 pounds! That equals 

165,968 tabs and puts Lambert's total for the 

13th year of collecting at over 2 million! Thank 

you to the students and Mrs. Jacque Lahr for 

heading this event. 

Honorary Board Member Leo Greco (center) 

was a big hit at Camp Courageous, as he 

stopped by to pick-up tabs and leave off checks. 

He had lunch with campers and staff, which was 

a treat for all.

Dear Lynne, Troy, Staff and Roy J. 

Carver Charitable Trust Board: 

We can not thank you enough for 

your support of the new Ultra Violet 

Sanitizer System for the camp's pools. 

The system is up and working... and 

already we are seeing a drop in the 

amount of chlorine needed. 

Most importantly, the new UV system 

is protecting the thousands of swimmers 

by destroying chloramines and bacteria 

that are responsible for unpleasant 

odors, viruses, mold, and transmission 

of stomach, skin, and respiratory tract 

infections to swimmers...

Marginal Note: The surest way to get somewhere is to know where you are going. 


was very saddened 

with the passing of 

Lucille Kucera of 

Monticello. Lucille 

worked for the 

“Light Company” 

(Iowa Electric/ 

Alliant) for 41 

years! Upon her 

retirement, Camp 

Courageous 

was thrilled to have her come to camp and 

volunteer. She volunteered during the days 

before computers.... everything was done by 

hand. She was a wonderful lady. She had 

all the talents to do the job perfect. She was 

a first-class lady, was super dedicated, hard 

working, a perfectionist, and just a good and 

caring person. Lucille started with the Iowa 

Electric in 1942 and was never late for work 

and never left work early, according to Lou 

Holly, who worked with Lucille for years. Lucille 

will be dearly missed... but what an incredible 

legacy she leaves behind.

The annual WMT Reunion was another 

huge success! WMT has been so key to the 

success of Camp Courageous and have been 

involved by word and by deed. Just a super 

group! Camp Courageous is honored to be 

a part of the WMT Family. What wonderful 

memories they have brought us! Pictured are 

(L-R, back): Donna Dalton, Barb Kouba, Jim 

Dalton, Dwayne Schmidt (a little hidden in back 

row), Eileen Loan Schmidt, Wayne Johnson, 

Jim Holt, Gary Kouba, Nancy Koestner, Jerry

Huge thanks to the AmeriCorps NCCC Maple 

3 unit based out of Vinton, Iowa. These young 

folks were just beginning their year of service 

through AmeriCorps when they came to camp 

for 3 days to do a variety of projects including 

improvements at the horseback riding arena. 

Team members include: Team Leader Marlin 

Lane (far right), Caitlin Gray, Mary DeMasters, 

Christopher Roche, Allison Hoensheild, Greg 

Amsler, Christine Crowley, Tommy Binkley, 

Jackson Madden, Katoiya Crockett, Autumn 

Last, and Michael Kamen. 

If you are a federal employee, 

remember camp during this year’s 

CoMbined Federal 

CaMpaign.

remembers friend and 

PMCI past-president 

Tom Nelson 

Tom Nelson, of Clear 

Lake IA has passed 

away. Tom was 

a Past-President 

of the Petroleum 

Marketers and 

Convenience Stores 

of Iowa and was 

active with Camp 

Courageous since 

the relationship 

began in 1981. It 

was always a treat 

to see Tom at the 

PMCI Conventions. He would stop by the 

Camp Courageous booth, grab a few odds 

and ends of little or no value, and then sell 

them to his Amoco friends, and the higher ups 

in the company. He was a real stitch, that no 

one could say no to. Tom seemed to always 

have a smile on his face and he brought 

happiness and joy where ever he went. 

Tom will be dearly missed by so many he 

touched directly and indirectly. Our warmest 

sympathy goes out to Tom's wife, Janice, who 

was always there for Tom and all his family 

and friends.

Bowling for Camp Courageous! 

Have fun and help camp! 

Sat. Sept. 18, 2010 

11am to 1:30pm 

Westdale Bowling Center

AEGON employees give “Day of 

Caring” to Camp Courageous 

A HUGE thanks to the folks from AEGON who 

participated in the United Way Day of Caring 

and came to camp to help with a wide variety 

of tasks. Just under 30 AEGON employees put 

in a full days work staining, power washing, 

painting and much more. This is the second 

year in a row that AEGON chose to do their Day 

of Caring project at camp and they are a great 

group to work with.

(L-R) Camper Duane Nieland of Carroll, 

volunteer counselor Mary G., camper Jeff 

Stohler of Iowa City, counselor Britta Volz of 

Silver Spring, MD, and camper Russell Brown 

of Guttenberg are pictured as they arrive 

during the first summer camp week of 2010. 

Derek Dreier (center) of Iowa City is bringing 

percussion sounds to Camp Courageous. He 

has drums and other percussion equipment 

to demonstrate how they are played to the 

campers. Campers get to learn parts of song 

during the session and at the end Derek 

has them play a song together… a thrilling 

experience for everyone! Thank you to Derek 

for volunteering his time and it will be fun to 

have him back later this summer. 

(L-R) Camper Paul Baumhover of Carroll 

and counselor Michael Camps of Miami, FL 

are pictured dancing an evening away on the 

Riley Court at Camp Courageous. Paul really 

enjoyed the Burma Bridge activity during his 

week at Camp Courageous. 

Camper photos can 

be viewed online.

Marginal Note: Formula for youth: Keep your enthusiasm and forget your birthdays. 

Dedicated camp volunteer Marilou Simpson 

came for a tour and lunch with a group of 

friends from Milan and Edgington to share her 

love and knowledge of camp. Marilou and her 

husband Don spent two years living at camp 

and volunteering in the dietary and maintenance 

departments. They continue to support camp 

by selling fruitcakes each fall. It was wonderful 

to see Marilou again and to meet her friends. 

It was really a treat to have the Edgewood Red 

Hat ladies come back to camp. They brought 

along some lovely quilts they made and had a 

tour of the camp. Most of the ladies had been to 

camp previously, but had some great questions 

and showed a lot of interest. They ended 

their tour with a ride on camp's train. Thanks 

Edgewood Red Hat Ladies! 

Once again the Cedar Co. Farm Bureau ladies 

visited camp for a morning of volunteering. The 

ladies are shown standing in front of the over 

1,000 camper T-shirt they folded and organized. 

In addition, they brought a large donation of 

paper products and other much needed items. 

It is always a joy to have our friends from Cedar 

County at camp and we look forward to seeing 

them again next year!

“Walkin’ & Wheelin” 

2nd Annual Walk for 


Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010 

Camp Courageous would like to invite all 

campers, parents, their families, and friends to 

join us for the 2nd annual “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ 

for Camp Courageous”. This fun-filled event 

will take place on Saturday November 13, 

2010 from 8:30-11:00. 

The walk will include an hour-long walk (or 

shorter if you wish) in the climate-controlled 

comfort of Westdale Mall in Cedar Rapids. 

Additional information can be found on the 

camp’s website at www.campcourageous.org. 

Thank you to this group of nursing students 

from the University of Dubuque that helped 

at camp this spring. Pictured are: Camper 

Megan Staner (Edgewood Iowa), Instructor Kris 

Tiernan, Hollianne Peters, Jane Small, Andrea 

Gallo, Kellie Oppold, Kaylyn Kenkle, Michelle 

Shoppa, Heather-Mae Bucich, Casey Wiegel, 

Jessy Breiner, and Matt Jahn. 

Physical Therapy students from the University 

of Iowa continue to help out at Camp 

Courageous. Thank you to these students, who 

are (L-R) Jessica Stagg, Nicole Naraine, Bryan 

Goose, Sam Huey, Sam Hanson, and Kirk 

Sneiderman. 

Leo Greco CDs! 

The following locations have Leo's 

CDs where 100% of the money 

goes to camp: Home Hardware 

in Davenport; Country Junction 

Restaurant in Dyersville; Ox Yoke Inn 

in the Amanas; Homestead Restaurant 

in Independence; and the Camp 

Courageous Camp Store.

Camp Courageous’ 

sympathy goes out 

to the family and 

friends of Connie B. 

Frost, who passed 

away at her home 

on Fleets Neck, 

Cutchogue, N.Y., 

after a valiant battle 

with metastatic 

breast cancer 

for the third time. 

She was born in 

Keystone, Iowa 

and was a graduate 

from Washington High School in Cedar Rapids, 

Iowa, class of 1959, and attended Iowa State 

University. Even though she lived on the East 

Coast, she never forgot her roots in Iowa. She 

gathered friends from all across the country, and 

when she asked that memorials go to Camp 

Courageous in leu of flowers, the out pouring 

was incredible. Connie touched so many lives 

in so many special ways. Camp's sympathy 

goes out to Connie's husband, Marshall Frost 

and her family and friends. 

The Port Louisa Farm Bureau Women and 

members of the Island United Methodist 

Church traveled to camp in early May with 2 

van loads of paper products, paper, can tabs 

and other wonderful donations. These ladies 

have been making this trip annually for many 

years and camp appreciates their generosity 

and dedication. 

Thank you to Glen and Joyce Hakeman of 

Tipton for arranging for the Central Iowa Travel 

Masters Chapter 144 to visit camp. They were 

a true delight and enjoyed everything about 

camp, including a train ride!

A big thanks to AmeriCorps NCCC based out 

of Vinton for coming out to Camp Courageous 

on May 15th and 16th. They helped the camp 

get ready for and during Crusin for Camp 

Courageous along with some grounds work. 

They enjoyed checking out the cars as much as 

we enjoyed having them here to help. 

Campsite and trail improvements can be a 

big undertaking. Thanks to Brod's Firewood 

and Construction from Cedar Rapids for the 

donation of wood mulch. 

Pictured are used power poles being unloaded 

off of trucks provided Eilertson Inc. out of Fond 

du Lac, WI. The camp will recycle these poles 

into usable lumbar for various outdoor projects. 

Thank you to camp’s neighbors at Pictured 

Rocks for setting up this group of volunteers 

that worked on the train track upgrade. Many 

hands made allowed this project to get done.

Remembering the life of long-time 

camp supporter Frank Silkebaken 

It was a beautiful 

sunny day on April 

8th for friends 

and family to 

join together and 

honor the life of 

Frank Silkebaken, 

Chairman of the Iowa Oil Jobbers 

Association (now PMCI) Board of 

Directors 1975-1977. He was among 

the first group of Petroleum Marketers 

to visit Camp Courageous in 1981 

and always stayed active with camp 

through attending benefits, lining up 

programs to Belle Plaine area groups, 

and so much more. He will be dearly 

missed. 

In the words of one of Frank's best 

business and social friends (Tom 

Brooke), “Frank was a tough, hardnosed 

businessman who loved life, 

loved his family and loved his friends. 

Those were 90 great years.” 

Tom Brooke, who is a Past Chair 

of PMCI and among Honorary Board 

Member, Norb Bahl’s first group of 

PMCI visitors to Camp, reflects on 

Frank.... 

When Frank and I were starting 

in the convenience store business, 

we saw where there was to be a 

conference in Tulsa and one of the 

speakers was to speak on "gaining that 

slight edge". Frank and I flew down 

and attended the conference and on 

the way back I said, “Frank, I may be 

stupid but what was that slight edge 

that guy was talking about?” Frank 

said, in his inimitable way, “Darned 

if I know.” So, we went to work the 

next day just as confused as ever. 

Once at the “Lou White Open” golf 

outing in Jesup, I threw Frank out of 

the golf cart and he did a complete 

pirouette in mid air and lit on his feet 

running. Our former PMCI managing 

director Ed Kistenmacher, who saw 

the whole thing asked for a repeat. 

When Frank and I had truck stops 

on I-80, we bought several tenders 

of diesel fuel on the open market 

and sold much to our friends and 

competitors. During one period, we 

were supplying most of the diesel 

fuel along I-80 in eastern Iowa. This 

made everyone happy (but the major 

oil companies). 

Frank, Charlotte, Mary Pat and I 

were in France visiting the beaches of 

Normandy and the cemeteries when 

one couple from Belgium stopped and 

asked us if we were from America. 

We said “yes” and they said, “Thank 

you, thank you, thank you.” That 

meant a lot to Frank since he took 

part in the D-Day offensive. 

I learned a lot about living from 

Frank Silkebaken. Frank was a lot of 

fun to be with and he really understood 

that you have to experience life to 

enjoy it. 

Camp’s sympathy goes out to 

Frank's wife of 64 years, Charlotte 

Hage Silkebaken and their family. The 

family has asked that contributions 

be made to his beloved Camp 


Senior Petroleum Marketers and Convenience 

Stores of Iowa Pro-Golfers Tom Shanley, 

Frank Silkebaken, Lou White and Tom Brooke 

play a foursome. A wonderful group! 

To schedule a presentation about Camp Courageous… 

and it’s work with individuals with disabilities for your business, club, or organization please 

call 319-465-5916, ext. 2100 or send a request to charlie@campcourageous.org. 

Marginal Note: Deal with the faults of others as gently as your own. 

Drew Carfrae enjoys his new Chevy Nova... 

a gift from our dear friend, Dave Bell of 

SpecCast in Dyersville. Dave provides 

cars for the Petroleum Marketers and 

Convenience Stores of Iowa Convention 

each year, but they also see their way into 

the hands of campers. This was Drew's first 

stay at camp and when he spotted the green 

Chevy Nova, he quickly fell in love with it. He 

was super grateful! 

We would like to thank Lions District Governor 

Randy Burton for giving Camp Courageous 

the opportunity to have a display and offer 

a program at his convention in Ottumwa. 

It was a great opportunity to renew many 

friendships. Randy's convention at the 

beautiful Indian Hills Community College 

was the warm-up show before the President 

of the United States was at the college... 

maybe looking for the Lions Convention? 

We would like to thank Mary Nelson of 

Delmar for donating this wonderful wheel 

chair swing to Camp. Campers love it! A 

special thank you to camp's good friend Larry 

Roeder for loading the swing at Mary's place 

and delivering it to camp. A great addition! 

25

Brian Gay, Past President of the Camp 

Courageous Board of Directors, accepts 

a check from Mary Sundblad, owner of 

Stuff Etc. This wonderful group took Camp 

Courageous on as a project during the 

month of February and raised a wonderful 

donation for camp. 

We are grateful to Jim Nagel, Director 

Options of Linn County for inviting camp to 

emcee their annual awards night. Jim and 

the staff at Options do an exceptional job 

with their consumers, and most of them are 

Camp Courageous Campers. It is always a 

highlight of the year. 

Thank you to the Quad City Morning 

Optimist Club and Ed Ellis for giving Camp 

Courageous the opportunity to present 

a program to their group. They are an 

outstanding group that supports the camp 

in work, financially, and with supplies... and 

they all have fun doing it. Great Group! 

A big thank you to Nestle-Purina PetCare 

Co. for their donation of two pallets of cat 

food, which meets a huge need at the 

camp. Nestle-Puina, and plant manager, 

Frank Clark, in Davenport have been great 

supporters of the camp for many years. 

Getting the donation to the camp were 

volunteers Danny Connell, Bruce Thoene, 

and Jim Goetsch… three great camp 

supporters.

Camp Remembers Sylvia McKinder Schnoebelen 

Sylvia was one 

of the nicest ladies 

I ever had the 

pleasure of meeting! 

Everything about 

her was first 

class. We go back 

decades ago when 

our paths crossed 

through a youth organization we were 

both involved with. Then we lost track 

of each other for many years. Then 

through Clete Schnoebelen's (Honorary 

Board Member Norb Bahl's partner at 

Frost Oil) the relationship rekindled. 

Sylvia enjoyed going to the Pineapple 

Gala and after Clete's death she enlisted 

her great niece, Alicia Hansen to obtain 

NASCAR items for the Pineapple Gala 

Auction. Each year I would travel to 

her place in Cedar Falls and spend an 

Camp Courageous was very important 

to Aunt Sylvia. She spoke of you and Camp 

Courageous often. That is why we chose 

your organization for one of the memorials. 

Great-niece Alicia (Hansen) Burdick (my 

niece) gave a tribute to Sylvia today during 

the funeral service and she mentioned 

how honored she was when Aunt Sylvia 

would ask her to coordinate the donated 

NASCAR items for the Pineapple Gala. 

Thanks again for your kind words. 

- Marcy Borwig 

afternoon visiting over days-gone by. 

How I loved our visits. The items 

always did super, and she was so proud 

that she played a key role in the success 

of the gala. 

We will dearly miss Sylvia. She 

brought more joy into the lives of 

others than what she ever realized... 

-Charlie

Steve just called all excited and laughing 

about his experiences on the Yellowstone 

trip. He called Old Faithful “awesome.” 

He enjoyed the bison holding up traffic 

and related seeing elk, moose, wolf, etc. The 

camp's travel program has greatly enhanced 

Steve's life. He has bragging rights within 

the family of places he has traveled that 

none of the rest of us have visited. 

Thank you for a well managed vacation. 

Hopefully Steve behaved and was not a 

problem for you and the staff. He is looking 

forward to his next adventure in November. 

A plus… he gained not a pound!!

CAMPING CLUB 

We’re camping for 


COOKBOOK 

Cookbooks available now at 

Ketelsen RV and Camp Courageous. 

All proceeds benefit the camp. 

A special thank you to the family of Richard 

“Dick” Gholson who all gathered at Camp 

Courageous, in Dick's Memory. Dick 

played Santa for thousands of children 

(and many adults) over the years. When 

folks would offer him money, he would 

just say, “make the 

check out to Camp 

Courageous.” 

Leona, Dick's wife, 

is in the middle, 

surrounded by 

family. Dick 

brought happiness 

into the lives of far 

more folks than he 

ever realized... 

Richard “Dick” 

Gholson as 

“Santa” 

A big thank you to Morton and Robinson 

Families for representing Camp Courageous 

at the Keosauqua Lions Ice Cream Social on 

May 28th. Luann and Nicholas Morton, along 

with Ross and Rhonda Robinson did a super 

job with a beautiful display and telling folks 

about their Camp Courageous experiences. 

Pictured (L-R) are Ross Robinson and Luann 

and Nicholas Morton. 

It is always a treat to have Helen Stanger stop 

by camp to visit. She keeps in close touch 

with the camp from her place in the state of 

Washington. Helen's roots are in Hopkinton. 

Cedar Rapids Parrot Head 

Club continues support 

of Camp Courageous 

A big thank you to the Isle of Iowa 

Parrot Head Club (Cedar Rapids) 

for having a great Halloween Party 

that benefitted Camp Courageous. 

This group is supportive of camp 

the year-round. 

(L-R) Past-President of the Camp Board, Jim 

Klinger accepts a check from Isle of Iowa 

President Mike Sion. 

Denny St. Germain was a wonderful supporter 

of Camp Courageous. He had a business 

called Pace Supply in Fairfax. Through his 

business he was involved in such projects as 

rebuilding the football field in Parkersburg with 

Coach Ed Thomas after the tornado destroyed 

that community. He was just getting into the 

housekeeping/janitorial supply business 

when he died in a car accident. Carrying on 

in his memory is his son, Matt (above) and 

Deb Proctor at Pace Supply. We would like 

to thank Denny's wife, Pat and his family for 

providing Camp Courageous all their janitorial 

supplies, after the decision was made to no 

longer sell these items. This represents a 

huge savings for Camp Courageous...and we 

can't thank them enough! 


“A volunteer is not paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.” 

It was great to have Dennis Smith volunteering 

a day this Spring to help paint the lodge, 

part of camp's remodeling the lodge project. 

Dennis has been a long time supporter of the 

camp and travels several hours to get here. 

The favorite group we see at the end of any 

breakfast is the Iron Pegusius. This super 

group leads the charge on clean-up after 

every big open house/breakfast. 

(L-R) Harold White who is responsible for the 

camp's grounds gets the help of his Grandson, 

Mathew White of Manchester. Harold does 

an exceptional job! 

It was great to see the 8th grade boys from 

Mt. Vernon Middle School back this spring. 

Each fall the 8th grade teachers at Mt. Vernon 

MS bring the students to learn about camp 

and experience service to others. The female 

students weren't able to join us this spring due 

to another opportunity that they had, but we 

were glad to see the boys and are grateful for 

their hard work. The students moved wood 

chips, firewood and brush. We look forward to 

seeing next year's 8th graders in the fall. 

University of Iowa Physical Therapy Students 

and the Boy Scout Troup from Mt. Vernon 

spent a morning ballesting track for the 

camp’s train. They teamed up to be a great 

group of volunteers! 

The Delmar Lions enlisted a lot of help for 

their full day of work at Camp Courageous. 

They helped with the train project, clearing 

down trees, and cutting-up fire wood. A great 

group that at least annually makes a trip to 

camp to work. 

Camp is fortunate to have a great ally in 

Mary Hoeger (pictured back row, center). 

Mary is a long time supporter of camp and 

is a nursing instructor at Northeast Iowa 

Community College (NICC) in Peosta. Each 

spring and fall Mary brings some of her best 

students to work with our campers on respite 

care weekends. The students this spring 

were amazing and we look forward to more 

NICC students in the fall. NICC students this 

spring were: Annette Green, Martin Koppes, 

Lisa Paris, Travis Klinefelter, Steve Harris, 

Jessica Pellymonter, Leha Pettinger, Jennifer 

Kennedy, Jessica Ludescher, Michael Gaber, 

Brittni Hefel, Preeti Chugh, Rakhi Sharma, 

Barb Bergfeld, Mary Focht, Carrie Soppe, 

Philomina Wiegman, Emily Ernst, Jelica 

Keller, Lisa Bolsinger, Khing Xaysongkham, 

and Jacelyn Foster. 

For details on volunteer opportunities please contact 

Shannon Poe at spoe@campcourageous.org or call 319-465-5916, ext 2320. 

Marginal Note: There aren’t enough crutches in the world for all the lame excuses. 

It was a treat to work with Tiffany Bomer 

(back roll, second from the right) who is 

the Leadership Coordinator for the Iowa/ 

Minnesota International Order of Rainbow 

for Girls. Jennifer Stolba (front, center, 

green shirt) is this year's Grand Worthy 

Adviser for Iowa/Minnesota Rainbow. The 

group spent a day at Camp Courageous 

dong clean-up work... 

...making a beautiful sign for camp's 

Rainbow Trail (special thank you to the 

talents of Chris and Bruce Stolba). 

...along with providing camp a new teepee 

and painting it for all to enjoy. A 

wonderful group. Camp Courageous is 

thankful to Jennifer Stolba for taking Camp 

Courageous under her wing for her project.

Needs List 

Charlie Becker, Camp Courageous of Iowa, PO Box 418, Monticello IA 52310-0418. 

A camp friend called and said he would like to do something special to honor an incredible 

individual by the name of Leo Greco. He decided to look at redoing the lodge audio and 

video system in honor of Leo with an estimated cost of $25,000. There will be a plaque in 

the lodge with the names of those donating to this project. Any amount is appreciated. 

The plaque will display donations of: Bronze $100; Silver $250; and Gold $500.

How can you help? 

The camp is amazed at the many ways that supporters have helped make the dream of 

Camp Courageous a reality. Many have contacted the camp asking how they or their 

group can help. Below are just a few suggestions on how you can help the camp: 

Make a Financial Gift 

You can make a financial gift to the camp using the 

form on the back page of this newsletter. Payment can 

be made with a personal check or credit card (VISA, 

MasterCard, or Discover). In general, donations to the 

camp will be tax deductible to many. However, you 

will need to contact your tax advisor to determine the 

deductibility of your contributions. You can make your gift 

in memory of or in honor of an individual(s) or occasion. 

An acknowledgement about your gift can be sent to the 

individual(s) if you provide an address. 

Volunteering 

Nothing is more valuable than your time and we 

would appreciate your gift of time helping the camp. 

Help is needed from cutting grass to working with 

campers. Individuals, groups, clubs, and organizations 

are welcome. 

Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer Director, by 

e-mail at spoe@campcourageous.org or by phone at (319) 

465-5916, ext. 2320 for information on how you or your 

group can volunteer at the camp. 

Vehicle Donations 

Do you have a car, truck, or RV that 

you’d like to donate to Camp Courageous? Please contact 

the camp or visit the camp’s web site for information on 

how you can donate your vehicle. 

If you are donating your vehicle so it can be sold to 

allow the camp to benefit from its sale, then please review 

the V-DAC program. Due to the IRS laws, the easiest way 

to donate a vehicle that is to be liquidated is through 

this great program. Visit the camp’s web site at www. 

campcourageous.org for more information. 

Riley Train Depot Plaque 

Tom and Nan Riley donated a train to camp to thrill 

thousands of campers! The track and depot are installed 

and built. Many camp and/or train enthusiasts have 

asked, “How can we help?” We will continue to have 

workdays to work on landscaping around the track and 

depot. A special railcar designed by Iowa State University 

Mechanical Engineering students to accommodate the 

many needs of Camp Courageous campers has arrived. 

Expenses for this railcar and the overall project still needs 

to be covered. 

The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on 

the plaque in the depot for all $1,000 donors. Use the 

donation form on the back page of this newsletter. For 

more information about the plaques you can contact 

Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him 

an e-mail at charlie@campcourageous.org. 

eBay Auctions and 

the Mission Fish 

Do you sell on eBay? You can donate 

a percentage of your auctions to the 

camp through eBay’s Mission Fish 

program. 10% to 100% of your auction can go to Camp 

Courageous of Iowa through this charity program. 

It’s a great way to promote your auctions since visitors 

will see (through a special icon) that part of their payment 

goes to a great charity. To participate, simply use the charity 

option as you list your items on eBay. For additional details 

and information you can visit eBay and click on the “Giving 

Works” link on their home page. 

Used Laser/Ink Cartridges & Phones 

Camp can redeem used laser printer toner cartridges, 

used inkjet cartridges, and used cell phones for cash. 

Simply drop your items off at the camp or contact Matt 

Bollwitt by e-mail at matt@campcourageous.org or by 

phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2110. 

United Way (Donor Option) 

Even though Camp Courageous of Iowa 

is not a United Way agency, we strongly encourage those 

that give to the United Way to choose “Camp Courageous 

of Iowa” using the Donor Option form (special category). 

Camp has been fortunate to have donors from New 

York City to San Francisco give through the United Way 

Donor Option. 

Pool Blocks 

The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block 

at a time. Over the past few years it has become one of 

the more popular activities for the campers. You can help 

support this activity by buying a pool block for $1,000. 

Your name, or the wording of your choice, will be put on 

the block as a lasting reminder of your gift to the camp. 

Use the donation form on the back page of this 

newsletter to purchase your pool block. For more 

information about the pool blocks you can contact Charlie 

Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send E-mail to 

charlie@campcourageous.org. 

Courier Newsletter Sponsorship 

The goal of Camp Courageous is to have 100% of 

donations go to benefit the over 5,000 campers that 

attend each year. To help make this possible, we would 

appreciate your consideration of sponsorship of the 

Courier. As many as 25,000 Couriers are printed each 

quarter (January, April, July and October) and are sent to 

all of camp’s supporters. The cost to produce and mail 

each issue is over $10,000. By choosing an option below, 

your help will bring Camp Courageous closer to its goal of 

underwriting the entire cost of the Courier. Please contact 

Matt Bollwitt at 319-465-5916 ext. 2110 or send E-mail to 

matt@campcourageous.org for more information.

How can I help? 

Camp Courageous continues to operate 

on donations, without government assistance, 

without formal sponsorship, and without paid 

fund-raisers. What this means is that everything 

that is given to the Camp, goes directly to benefit 

the campers. One of the reasons the Camp 

has grown from serving 211 campers in 1974 

to over 5,000 campers today, is the incredible 

dedication of volunteers. Volunteer help is 

needed in virtually every aspect of the camp. 

Please consider volunteering your time and 

talents to Camp Courageous. 

Where can I get more info? 

Please visit the camp’s web site at 

www.campcourageous.org, call the camp at 

319-465-5916, or stop out for a tour to see 

first-hand how the camp has grown over the 

past many years. 

I received more than one.
