On March 1, close to 50 former campers, counselors and parents braved the snow and gathered at the home of Libba Bushnell Williams TR 74, for a city reunion. Had the weather been more cooperative, there would have been twice as many people. Attendees spanned the decades from a 1936 camper who was there with Col. Rice to current campers. Wearing ties and medals, sharing old catalogs and memorabilia, the group visited, reconnected, watched vintage movies from the 60s, and sang (of course!) Ann Perron gave an update on Nakanawa today, and Margaret Matens talked about TIES initiatives (like city reunions) and urged everyone to register on the TIES website
in order to learn about opportunities to visit camp, coming reunions, and ways to introduce prospective campers to Nakanawa. Libba's beautiful Mountain Brook home was a great setting for this lively gathering of so many loyal to Nakanawa. A big TIES thanks, Libba!
