Thursday night we got back to Camp around 5:00, and our little team arranged to meet at the front door at 6:00 after making ourselves presentable. Janis declined the dinner invitation because she said once she showered, she'd want to get into her jammies and stay put, which is certainly understandable. We had asked around…
Thursday morning breakfast was sausage, biscuits, and gravy, so I asked them to hold the gravy, and made a sausage-biscuit sandwich with the aid of some cheese from the lunch table. Also oatmeal as usual. Our team had decided the night before that we would go out for dinner together Thursday night (since we were…
We (our little ladies' crew + Annie the Post Gazette reporter) left Miss Hattie's house, and drove over to Leslie's house to see how our painters were coming along. They still had some work to do, as having only one tall ladder was limiting their speed. The Camp wasn't really willing to purchase another tall…
On Wednesday, Janis, Karen, Danica and I asked to be re-assigned since our part of the painting job was done, so we were told to go to the house where Rudy's Roofers were putting on a new roof, and be the ground crew. So after breakfast (creamed chipped beef on toast, not our cup of…
Leslie’s home Leslie is a gentleman I would guess to be in his 70's, who has lived in this home all his life, as well as his parents before him (the house is 99 years old). The home is in Pascagoula, MS, about 1-1/4 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. It has withstood many hurricanes…
Tuesday morning I met Al in the dining hall at 6:00 for breakfast, which that day was scrambled eggs, bacon, and oatmeal (real oatmeal for which they had butter, brown sugar, raisins, and milk, so I was a happy camper). Also available each day were OJ, apple juice, toast, PB&J, yogurts, a variety of dry…
After the teams were organized and we made arrangements to meet in the morning, it was almost 10:00, which is bedtime at Camp Victor. All dorm room and hallway lights are turned out at 10:00 on the dot, and no noise or conversations are allowed except in the dining hall, where the lights are left…

Monday night after Orientation, the 75 of us from the SW PA synod gathered in the dining hall to get our work assignments for Tuesday morning. The Camp Victor volunteer coordinator had given Pastor Larry 5 jobs to create teams for, so he read them all out with a brief description, and asked for a…
Monday evening during Orientation, Suzie told us this parable: One day, an old man was walking along the beach in the early morning andnoticed what appeared to be thousands of starfish washed up on theshore. Up ahead in the distance, he spotted a boy who appeared to begathering up the starfish and tossing them, one by one, back…
