My brother and sister did the summers of their teenybopper years at ARE camp. It's part of the Association for Research in Enlightenment, or something like that. That's Edgar Cayce's Virginia Beach based group. My Mom was a big fan of theirs. My brother and sister loved the camp a lot. After our other sister died they'd used the donations they got from her memory to build a library building. Unfortunately the original library had been done in by water damage. They were currently using the building for storage and as a massage studio. The current management remembered us well, and was glad to take the library, as long as we brought it there and installed it ourselves.

  

To make a long story short, we got the library installed as promised. Not in any particular order mind you, just out of the boxes and into the shelves. Since doing that I've been telling people "if you want to find the key to world peace, look in that library."

  

We were there the day that a batch of campers were showing up for the next session. As my brother put it "the perfect time." It seemed like half the people we talked to, and all of the old timers, remembered him well. There was lots of trading stories about mutual friends. Bruce is married with children in North Carolina now. Remember Karen? She died of cancer a couple of years ago. They all enjoyed catching each other up on such news. Sounded to me like Lal wants to come back with his family next year if he can get away from work.
