SIGN OF THE TIMES
Music Was
And Is A Big
Part Of The
CLH Experience
PAM FRADY ALDEN Newest Recipient of Award
ATTAWAYTOGO
PAM FRADY ALDEN . . .
CAMP LONGHORN IS
MUSIC TO MY EARS . . .
It’s July 1963, just after Chow Hall time on a warm, sunny afternoon. I am a Cabin 5 Badger walking by the Canoe Bay headed in
the direction of Cabin 4. Coming through the loud speakers that cover
the Boys Camp, “Talk To Me” by Sunny and the Sunglows is playing.
I really don’t think anything of it. It’s Rest Period, and music is
always playing at that time of day.
But as I look back on it now 50 years later, I realize how much I
loved that music at Rest Period and how popular music permeated so
much of our camp experience, whether it was tunes spun by the likes
of Jumpin’Joe from the Ramble Hut after lunch, songs that woke us
up every morning or the records like ‘Sweet Pea” and “Hanky Panky”
played on Dance Night each Thursday.
Who could forget being greeted at 7 a.m. each day with songs like
“Ahab The Arab”, “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The
Bed Post Over Night,” “Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport” or “Hello
Mudduh, Hello Fadduh”? Those last two actually made their debuts
in 1963, and “Tie Me Kangaroo” is still the official wakeup tune at
Inks Lake Mini-Camp each year. And given all the scratches that
come across the speaker system Robby probably is playing the original 45 from 50 years ago.
Songs also filled the air each Sunday on Church Mountain, songs
like “Sinner Man” and “Cum By Ya.” Let’s also not forget the best of
them all, the Camp Longhorn song. I still know every word and sing
it occasionally! And when each day was done and the campfire was
burning low, singing “Taps” was the way we all said ‘“Good Night”
to each other.
I love music, and I love Camp Longhorn, and when I hear songs
that were played while I was at Camp in the 60’s, it takes me back to
those lazy (although they were full of activities!) days of summer in
the hills and dales of the Hill Country.
So in celebration of music and our camp, I thought I’d take at least
some of you back to the summer of 1963 - 50 years ago this summer with a list of the #1 songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 and
played throughout that summer at the greatest Camp on Earth!,

Ingram STAR Power Extends To His Home Life
A cute article and picture we found
on the Internet about JACK
INGRAM and his Star Reward System he uses with his kids! It’s about
merits and de-merits only he calls
them Stars!
If one of his children does something that deserves a reward he gives
them a Star and if they do something
that he deems negative behavior, then
a Star is taken from the child.
He keeps track of the count on his
Blackberry because it was extremely
hard and confusing to give Stars away
from home and his count was at home
on the frig!
So, when the kids accumulate 20
stars, they get a special treat! Does
all of this sound familiar? Just a name
change!
JACK credits Camp Longhorn for
teaching him it’s merit/de-merit sys-

Congratulations to PAM FRADY
ALDEN,
the
newest
ATTAWAYTOGO recipient. She is
so deserving of an award named
ATTAWAYTOGO because of her
many years of love and devotion to
Camp Longhorn. PAM grew up at
Camp Longhorn, coming each summer from the time she was a baby
with parents RAY and HELEN
FRADY (Directors). PAM was a
Wren in 1968, and came back 16
more summers at Inks Lake. As a
camper she was a many time Campfire Lighter and Little Bonnet Princess.
It was her years as a counselor that
made a huge difference in the lives
of the many campers through the
years. PAM was a counselor an
amazing 24 terms with most of it
spent as a loving WREN! She was
voted favorite counselor and spent
the last few years not only as a counselor, but also activity director. When
looking for the ideal counselor for
Camp Longhorn, PAM FRADY
ALDEN is an ideal example. She
was always a wonderful role model
for the campers and counselors and
her hard work and dedication
through the years is unmatched.
After her years at CLH, Pam
raised 3 children and Camp Longhorn has been a big part of their lives
as well. JONATHAN, 25, spent 8
years as a camper and 1 year as a
counselor. NICK, 22, was a camper
9 years and has spent the last 5 summers as a counselor and LINDSAY,
21, was a camper for 9 summers and
will be starting her 5th year as a
counselor.

CHRISTINE JOHNSTON WARREN. . .
Her very successful book
“PADDLEFISH” is a nonfiction account of training and racing in the
2010 Texas Water Safari, a 260-mile
paddling race from Central Texas to
the Gulf Coast. She shares all the
raw grit, hilarity and emotion of life
as a complete novice paddler in “The
World’s Toughest Race.”
She left corporate life fourteen
years ago in favor of writing, public
speaking and being a homeroom
mom. In 2007 she started blogging
about her passion, fly-fishing, and
before long readers were tuning in
regularly to read her stories and share
their own.
This fishing crowd introduced her
to the Texas Water Safari Race and a
publisher offered her a book deal to
write about her experience as a novice paddler. Her book was first pub-

What a great book “CLEANING
HOUSE” is! And such an original!
She has five kids, ages four to fourteen and one SUV with a lot of carpool
miles! Before transitioning to stay-athome mom, she held positions at the
White House, the Staubach Company
and Bank of America.
This book is about a mom’s twelvemonth experiment to rid her home of
KAY WILLS WYMA
youth entitlement! It’s her account
of the year-long campaign to introduce her five kids to basic life skills
and the ways meaningful work can
increase earned self-confidence and
concern for others!
With great humor, she candidly
details the ups and downs of equipping her kids for such tasks as making beds, refinishing a desk chair, and
working together. The changes that
take place in her household will inspire you to launch your own campaign to disolve your kids from the
center of their universe! A wonderful paperback, “CLEANING
HOUSE” is top-notch reading!
What Camp Longhorn Means To Me . . A Changing View
By RYAN MATTHEWS
When HELEN asked me to write
something for LUMNews I hesitated
at first, but her insistence that I would
do a great job with it convinced me.
All that was left was figuring out
what to actually write. After the
deadline she had asked me to get my
piece to her by passed, I figured that
I would just sit down and try to write
out what Camp meant to me.
To start with, the significance and
meaning of Camp Longhorn has definitely changed for me over the years.
I started out as a Rattlesnake at Indian Springs and my first four years
camp was really just all about having fun. It was a place to go for three
weeks (I was a third termer (3 is 1))
to get away from parents and avoid
what seemed like any adult supervision.
I remember my counselors more
as big brothers teaching you what you
can do at camp and how to have the
most fun. Certainly it was great to
see friends every year, but camp for
me meant Blobbing and Trollying
and unfortunately at the time Mile
Swimming (I was a soccer player and
more comfortable running and could
have run a mile in a quarter of the
time it took me to swim it). All of
this changed after my Jackrabbit year.
The school year after that year
was not a good one for me. I
struggled with teachers I didn’t like
and a child’s annoyance with school
and ended up with as more C’s and
D’s than A’s and B’s. At the end of
the school year I was just glad it was
over and was ready to go to camp.
That was when my parents sat me
down and explained that Camp
Longhorn was a privilege and not a
right. It had to be earned and the
way an 11 year-old earned something
was by doing well in school. Since I
most certainly hadn’t done well in
school I missed a year of camp. I
don’t remember the details of that
conversation, but I can remember my
shock at it and the loss I felt that summer. Needless to say, I never
struggled that much at school again.
When I got back to camp after
missing a year, what going to camp
meant to me had evolved. Not only
was I older, but I knew what a summer of your friends enjoying camp
without you was like. I didn’t take it
for granted by thinking it was just
about fun.
I became better friends with my
cabin mates and started appreciating
my counselors and the adults at camp
for providing me to opportunity to
come to this most fun of places. As I
got into my Wrangler and Ranger
years Camp starts giving you actual
responsibilities outside of simply having fun and following the rules. Now
I was one of the “older brothers” that
got to introduce the fun of camp to
the younger campers. I’m not sure
why this meant so much to me, but I
knew that I wanted to come back to
camp as a counselor. Not only to
continue to have fun at CLH, but to
give back in a sense and to follow in
the footsteps of the counselors that I
had looked up to. And again, what
camp meant to me changed and
evolved.
As a counselor the fun and enjoyment you get from a summer at Camp
RYAN MATHEWS
Longhorn is quite a bit different than
being a camper. Instead of having fun
Blobbing and Trollying and the Mile
(I’m not going to lie, I never found
the Mile Swim fun, but did learn to
appreciate what finishing it represents) ... anyway, as a counselor the
fun comes from spending time with
your friends, the fellow counselors,
and working with the kids and seeing
them grow in the short time they are
at camp. For a while I was annoyed
with DAVID for sticking me in Division 1 for so many terms, but it truly
is a joy to be able to teach a Rattlesnake what Camp is.
There comes a certain sense of
pride in watching a group of shy, hesi-
IT’S E-MAIL TIME
4th Wedding
The local news station was
interviewing an 80-year-old lady
because she had just gotten
married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her
questions about her life, about
what it felt like to be marrying
again at 80, and then about her
new husband’s occupation.
“He’s a funeral director,” she
answered. “Interesting,” the
newsman thought. He then
asked her if she wouldn’t mind
telling him a little about her
first three husbands and what
they did for a living.
She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect
on all those years. After a short
time, a smile came to her face
and she answered proudly,
explaining that she had first
married a banker when she was
in her 20’s, then a circus
ringmaster when in her 40’s,
and a preacher when in her 60’s,
and now - in her 80’s - a funeral
director.
The interviewer looked at
her, quite astonished, and asked
why she had married four men
with such diverse careers. She
smiled and explained, “I
married One for the money, Two
for the show, Three to get ready,
And four to go.”
tant 8 year-olds grow together as a
cabin through the term and after 2 or
3 weeks watching them march their
parents around camp like they owned
the place. Through my years as a
counselor I grew as a person and
leader and was honored to be asked
to join Staff. All of this meant significantly more to me than what having fun had. Camp had become more
than just a place to go to have fun
during the summer, it had become
part of who I was. It felt like home
and everyone at camp was family.
Unfortunately, there are only so
many years that I had my summers
free to spend at camp and now that I
no longer get to enjoy summers at
Indian Springs camp’s meaning has
again evolved.
As I sit typing this and reflecting
on my years at Camp I can realize the
impact my summers here had on my
life outside of camp. I have made
friends that I truly care about and
gained experiences that helped me get
to where I am. I had the opportunity
to work with men that I look up to in
DAVID and BOBBY and DON and
learn about leadership and management and how to be a better person
from them. I am in a better position to
be successful in my life because of my
time at Camp Longhorn and that
means the world to me.
Man. Camp is a learning experience
and you tell about this in your story!
Camp is all about having fun and at
the same time teaching great lessons
of how to get along with one another,
friendships, happiness and responsibilities. RYAN was raised in Houston and lives there now. He was a
camper for 8 years and counselor 7
years at Indian Springs. He was a
Campfire Lighter as a Camper and
as a Counselor was a Division Head,
Activities Director and voted Favorite Counselor. RYAN is a graduate
of.Rockhurst University. Thank you
again, RYAN, for your true story.

Attawaytobe At Camp . . . It’s As
Much A State Of Mind As A Place
By KATHARINE BAYER
There are certain amazing things
about camp that one only can value
in recollection; there are the tangible
and incredibly significant life-long
friendships that grow from camp
bonds, and then there are the gifts that
become part of your everyday that you
received from camp without even being aware.
The Wheel of Fortune, not the long
run syndicated television game show,
but the Camp Longhorn Carnival
Night game where campers line up
to eagerly await the spin and win, is
a metaphor for this gift. For most
this game may seem a standard carnival ride, but there are nuances in
every bit of camp; this we all know.
With such options as, “Marry the Person Behind You,” or “Dance for a
Prize,” appearing as wedges in the
wheel’s pie, the spinner has no other
destiny than what the spin of the
wheel decides.
What’s important here is not the
actual fortune—though I know of no
other place where anyone and everyone can be joined in the bonds of holy
macaroni - what’s important is the
moment where a camper spins and
lets go of control. It’s that instance
when fear and insecurities have no
place, where the pressure to be good
or successful isn’t an option. The gift
is the moment, the moment that happens over and over, day and night, at
camp. The moment that provides the
rare opportunity to be present in
something that is simply unpredictable. They are contagious, these
moments that are selfless and full of
possibility, and they spread through
camp like no other place.
The wheel asks participants to join
in the fun, be a part of the Carnival,
the ride, the dance of a few summer
weeks spent in utter delight. Campers make the choice to step in line,
but they let camp take the reins and
provide an atmosphere of joy, generosity, camaraderie, energy, enthusiasm and spirit.
The only thing camp requires of
its campers is to be wide-awake, to
be open to trying new things, and to
be thrilled at the idea of taking on a
KATHARINE BAYER
challenge and completing it (can I get
a Mile Swim). This is a skill that I
thank my lucky stars for acquiring at
camp: the extremely valuable ability
to be present in a moment.
In life away from 78611, there are
pressures and structures that demand
attention. The gift of being mindful
and the ability to join the present moment gives my life so much more
meaning and value. Beyond the lifelong friendships, this is the gift that
was shared with me without me even
being aware. This is one of those gifts
that keeps giving. Behind the Wheel
of Fortune, camp teaches us to be comfortable and trust that if one engages
with the present and lets go of all assumptions, that life will be a reward
in itself.
As Alumni, we are so fortunate;
every year we have the opportunity to
spend a day in this world. After a minicamp, the microcosm of CLH seems
so distant from our daily lives one often laments returning to the “real
world.” There is nothing more “real”
than camp. Camp is a place where
reality is saturated with the gift of the
present. Live in the present and just
like at camp, everything will be a celebration.
KATHARINE BAYER, we thank you
for an absolutely wonderful message.
Your story about The Wheel of For-
tune at Camp Longhorn and the way
it relates to everyday life and life at
Camp is so true. Sooo much to think
about in your article! KITTY, as we
call her at camp was raised in Austin
and lives there now! She is an architectural and graphic designer,
teacher and artist! She was a camper
for 6 years and a counselor for 10
years and is an all-time favorite at
Camp
Longhorn
Indian
Springs.KITTY takes special pride in
Birdie, her rescue labrador retriever.
As a camper she was Favorite Marina ‘96, Campfire Lighter and Favorite Counselor ‘04. As a counselor, among KITTY’s many responsibilities was QUEEN FLUSH,
funtastics, ropes, swimhorray(bay),
hoss & more. She graduated from
New York University & University of
Illinois. We love KATHERINE KITTY
BAYER and KITTY loves camp. A
wonderful and loyal CLASP Member,
we thank you again for your special
message.

The #1 Reason We Love Camp Longhorn . . In 35 Different Ways
A BLAST FROM THE PAST . . .
By AMANDA BARRINGER
and AMY LAMBERT LEE
Remember the time?
Remember the place?
Remember the name?
Remember the face?
(Answers on another page)
As CLH alums, I’m sure we have
all attempted and failed in describing what CLH has contributed to our
lives and the types of people CLH
campers turn out to be. It’s not just
a place, but a total experience that is
hard to translate into words.
AMANDA and I thought it would
be fun to hear from as broad a range
of alums as we could muster. So here
are some thoughts from Inks Lake
and Indian Springs Alums spanning
from 1951 to 2011. That’s 60 years
worth!! A big thanks to all who participated!

I . Loved silly, old-fashioned fun
with great ftiends was encouraged!
Too many to have a #1!!! Special
that 2 of our kids are old enough to
attend and share in the fun, friendships and memories! It’s the same
as when we attended. -MELINDA
GEORGE TUCKER, IndianSprings
’81’95
2. My #1 reason I love CLH ...
friendships and life lessons learned!
Wish I could go back to those days!!!
I also love meeting people now that
went to CLH. It is always an instant
bond. - JANA COX CHESTER, Indian Springs ’85-’93
3 . It is hard to pick just one but I
would say I loved the feeling of independence from my family while
still being safe, surrounded by great
friends from all over the country
while learning new skills
(rappelling!)l would never have
found at home in Tyler, Texas. SHANNON PHILLIPS MERONEY,
Inks Lake ’80-’88
4. #I reason - the amazing longterm friendships that were made over
the years and the constant connection to my CLH friends. - RENEE
HARVEY, Indian Springs 19811994
5. The thing I love most about
camp? Simply put, the people. What
a cross section of rogues, scholars
and great kids. The opportunity to
meet TEX was a life changing experience. NAN and BOBBY where the
best! My best friends are all camp
people. I loved them all, they taught
me so much and I miss my time with
the counselors every day. One last
staff meeting with the old gang
would be heaven! PRESTON
BROWN, Indian Springs ’79-’97
6. I love the life-long bond I made
with friends who call that place
among the hills and dales the greatest place on earth! For me, it was
the friends and relationships - the
blob, marinas, and all the other fun
activities were just bonus! ALEXIS
BECK WAGGONER, Indian
Springs Camper 85, 86, 88, and
counselor 89, and 90 and parent of
campers 2010, 11, and 12!
7. Hmmm, the # 1 reason I love
CLH is hard because there are so
many reasons. I will have to say the
super positive atmosphere of CLH
really boosted my confidence as a
camper and as a counselor. The values I learned at camp truly helped
shape me into person I am today.
AMY CLOWE TRAUGHBER, Inks
Lake’82-’95
8. It was going all out to give the
kids a show. Frog day, and getting
beat to hell skiing behind a horse at
the hoss show. Wanted to go out and
do things that the kids thought was
awesome and would remember about
their camp experience. Oh and the
chicken fried steak, Jet Ski in upper
lake, pretty sure it will never be done
again. JEFF STOKES, Indian
Springs 96 thru 00, 04, 09
9. #1 reason? All the friends that
I never would have met had I not attended CLH. I can go to just about
any city in TX & find a CLH friend.
ADAM SIMMONS, Indian Springs
90’s-00’s
10. I guess the reason that I love
camp is all of the ‘inside’ terminology that no one except people that
went to camp understand (i.e. library)
and the term Attawaytogo. Also, the
fact that there is no way to convey to
other people how truly special CLH
really is. I seriously feel like I know
anyone that has a CLH shirt on and
feel like giving the Attawaytogo sign
to any car I see with a CLH sticker.
DAVID SWEENEY, Indian Springs
’97-’05
11. Camp Longhorn is and was
the first social network I have been a
part of. Almost everywhere I go, I
meet someone who attended camp or
knows someone who attended camp.
I owe a lot to BOBBY and NAN
MANNING for molding me into the
person I am today. I have met a lot of
my life long friends at Camp Longhorn. These things alone are Priceless!! BEN GEORGE, Indian
Springs ’80s-’90s
12. Oh gosh I loved CLH for so
many reasons! Looking back on it if
I had to pick one it would be flying
through the air as yet another one of
my friends jumps on board the blob
(with baby oil of course)! Desperately
trying to stay on as long as possible
and not slide off the side into the lake.
Those are some of the happiest memories I have as a kid! ALEXANDRA
NORRIS, Inks Lake ’90s
13. Well, that is a hard questions
there are about a million reasons why
I loved it but my number one reason
would be because it is the one place
where you can go and just be a kid.
It does not matter if you are 10 or 21
when you get there it is like walking
into a different world, there are no
cell phones, computers or any day to
day worries. Your biggest worry
while at CLH is did I pack enough
swimsuits to last me three weeks!!
LINDSEY DUNCAN PIKE, Indian
Springs,’95-’06
14. Because everybody is somebody at Camp Longhorn! MOLLY
QUIRK, Indian Springs ’83-’97
15. The number one reason I loved
CLH ... easy, the people and friendships. And of course a close second
is the blob... JANE ANNE VAUGHN,
Inks Lake ‘80’s-’90’s
16. 1 was a camper for 9 years and
a counselor for 4 years and treasured
every year. When I think back about
why camp was so fun, the one thing
that sticks in my mind are lasting
friendships. SARAH GEORGE
BRANUM, Indian Springs, ’89-’02
17. At camp I felt I could be the
person I wanted to be. SCOTT
CHICK, Indian Springs ’93, 95, 96,
97, 98, 00, 01, 02, 04
18. #1 reason I love CLH: the culture of friendship, independence and
FUN it created for me during my very
formative childhood years can never
be replaced. LYNETTE NEIDERT
DARBY, Indian Springs ‘81 -’89
19. It’s really hard to narrow down
the reasons I love CLH to just, one!
But if I have to pick my #1 reason why
I love Camp Longhorn it is: my time
at Camp Longhorn was the most FUN
I ever had in the summers growing up,
day in and day out, every session!
BROOKE WILLIAMS SCHULTZ, Indian Springs ’86-’97.
20. CLH spirit and attitude that
stays with you forever. LACY HAWN
SCHULTZ, Inks Lake ’80-’93
21. I loved camp most for the lasting friendships: especially my
cabimnates who were like my sisters.
I’m still close with SHARON VOLTZ
ADELMAN, SUSAN STRIPLING
EDWARDS, ANNE PICKLE,
LAURA WILLIAMS BELL, (and sister LEAH), MARIA SHEPPARD
WALKER,
AMY
MIRACLE
TURBOFF (and her sisters ELISE &
HOLLY), MICHELLE WILLEY,
D’ANN MABRY SHIPPY, all the
BAUKNIGHTS, BETH MONETTE
HAIRSTON and more from 2nd term.
I had close college friends who were
at UT as well: JENNIFER
GREENWAY, and BETH STEPHENS.
I am thankful for my cousin JILL
LEIFESTE BAYS who started at
Longhorn a few years ahead of me, and
she is the reason my parents sent me
to Longhorn! Looking back, I appreciate NAN, BOBBU and the entire Indian Springs staff—it took such hard
work and passion to build a camp that
is beloved and endures. CATHY
McECHERN, Indian Springs ’78-’87.
22. #1 reason, among all of the great
reasons. Hmmm. It was the greatest
place on the planet to go every summer to build the best of times with the
best of people, wrapped around timeless traditions you can find nowhere
else. BRAD CLOWE, Inks Lake ’80s’90s
23. The #1 reason I love camp?
That’s an impossible-question. We’ve
all tried & failed miserably to explain
the magic of Camp Longhorn to those
who have never been fortunate enough
to experience it. It’s just CAMP. A
wonderful slice of heaven on earth
where the outside world falls away &
Burnet, Texas becomes the center of
the universe for a few amazing weeks
each summer. Almost 25 years after
my last summer there, there are still
things that can take me right back the sound of sprinklers, hearing Taps,
the smell of bacon or Tang, and of
course a conversation with a camp
friend. I know I’m beyond blessed to
have been a part of it for as long as I
was. I went 10 summers - - skipping a
couple - between 1978 - 1989. Can
you believe that this summer my
daughter - after nine years as a camper
will be a counselor?? The cycle continues!!
KAREN GREEN
PIRINELLI, Indian Springs ’78-’89
24. Tough question ... what do I
love the most about CLH. Camp has a
certain magic that makes you optimistic about everything. There is a special blend of friends, activities, nature,
oh and apple crisp, that must create
this magic. I remember some specific
stories from camp but mostly, I recall
the friends and how camp made me
feel. AMY SCOTT FORTENBERRY,
Indian Springs, ’76-’90
25. The number one thing I love
about CLH are the friendships I made.
Growing up in a small town, I did not
know anyone when I went to camp. I
AMANDA BARRINGER (l) and AMY LAMBERT LEE
loved getting to know ftiends from all
over the state and beyond and looked
forward to seeing my camp friends every summer. It was really fun getting
to reunite with so many camp friends
when I went to UT; it made a large
campus seem familiar. Now that I have
kids attending CLH, I get to see old
camp friends at Carnival and V-Day.
CLH is such a special bond that creates lifelong relationships; I am so
blessed to have grown up going to
camp
there!
COURTNEY
HAMILTON HUTCHESON, camper
’81 -’86, counselor ’88, ’89 & ’92.
26. I would say the variety of stuff
to do. TIFFANY HUCKABAY
WRIGHT, Indian Springs ’84-’91
27. My reason was the “spirit” of
camp and all the great friends I made
who I still know today! And know both
of my kids can enjoy the “spirit” and
adventure of camp! STEPHEN
GESELL, Indian Springs
28. Hmmm the number I reason?
It was magical for me! It was where I
wanted to be 11 months of the year!
BROOKS BELL MARYE - Indian
Springs, ’79-’88
29. Being from a small town, I enjoyed the exposure to wonderful people
across the state, like Odessa, and the
life-long friendships made. It truly was
my summer “home” and CLH still to
this day holds a very dear place in my
heart. THURE CANNON, Indian
Springs ’80-’91
30. I loved going to camp when I
was a kid, but didn’t really get the
whole of camp until I sent my children
and saw how much they grew and how
much they learned from Camp.
CELESTE CASON BARRINGER,
Inks Lake, ’64-’67
31. What I love about camp was
the various activities that I was exposed
to and the time that I spent with new
people. WILLIAM PETERSON, Inks
Lake, ‘51 -’58
32. I loved the new things you
learned to do that you could never experience at home; like canoe, riflery,
and mile swim, as well as the friends
you would meet. TRIGG DAVISON
YERBY, Inks Lake ’53-’62
33. From the great atmosphere and
friendly people to the unlimited activities available, there are too many reasons to choose from! CAITLIN
BARRINGER, Indian Springs ’98-’l1
34. Some of my very best friends
are CLH people who I didn’t even
know at camp. The caliber of people
that is grown over a few short weeks
year after year is incredible and it
builds a bond that runs thicker than
blood! AMY LAMBERT LEE, Indian Springs ’82-’94
35. Camp is not only a tradition
for my immediate family but my extended family as well. With the third
generation of CLH’ers currently at
camp from my family, it is such an
awesome thing to watch and hear
these kids experience the same exciting and special things at camp and
learning the values I carry to this day
being molded in to their being.
AMANDA BARRINGER, Indian
Springs, ‘91 - ’04 Indian Springs

By KYLE FORD
When HELEN asked me recently
if I would jot down some memories
and thoughts of my time at Camp
Longhorn I jumped at the chance.
After all, if HELEN FRADY asks you
to do something, the only appropriate and acceptable answer is “yes
ma’am.” I learned that many years
ago but this time didn’t receive a
merit. I love Camp Longhorn. I’m
sure every former camper and counselor believes the time they were at
camp was the best time to be there
and I’m no different. From 1972 to
1982 1 had the privilege to write my
verse in the amazing story of Camp
Longhorn.
There isn’t one overriding
memory of camp but rather thousands
of small ones that form a mosaic in
my mind. Everyone’s are different
but here are mine: the black blob with
handles on the side ... Dr. JOE and
PHARAOH... TEX wishing me “a
happy, happy birthday on the loud
speaker every July 25 ... campouts on
the “Riff Raff” and jumping off the
cliff .. BARNEY’s chicken fried steak
... Tang... making hammocks out of
the huge white laundry bags ... merit
questions ... PAT LOCKRIDGE wrestling the alligator ... frog juice ... free
‘n easy ... getting chased out of the
chow hall after “stealing” a watermelon tetherball before meals ... the
bubble gum drop ... jumping off the
tower at swim bay . . . the underwater house ... bath day/dance night...
JOHAN yelling, “tiller towards the
sail” over the loud speaker in that
South African accent ... rest period
with the sprinkler on the roof would
put anyone to sleep
. . . the
funny signs on the main road ... bug
spray and ear drops ... the old super
slide . . movie night ... listening to
BOB TARLTON tell a story in the
dark when all you could see was the
glow of his cigarette ... the mud . .
.liquid kill ..raids ... Leslie’s fried
chicken in Waco on the way down
horses at Inks (I know, that’s how old
I am) ... flashlight wars when it rained
... the sound of cicadas in the trees ...
the Bluebonnet Cafe. . .one match!
... having PAT present me with my
9th year ring at campfire ... the water
show . . .the carnival and “getting
married” in a canoe ... inspections ...
Zorro . . .flag football and pickleball
... cradle-half-turntable-knee-halflogroll-swivel-hips-front drop ... East
Germany... “Day’s done” . . . I could
go on, no really.
The activities and facilities were,
and are, amazing but the most enduring memories of camp to me are the
people. None of it works without the
extraordinary staff of Camp Longhorn. It is a fraternity to which I will
forever boast that I am a member.
There are so many people that hold a
special place in my heart. I was so
saddened to hear of the passing of
JEFF GRAY. He was my counselor
in 1972, Cabin 0, the Mighty
Apaches. He introduced me to Camp
Longhorn. His nickname, “Fun Day”
Gray was well deserved. Throughout the years other counselors impacted my life.
CLEVE CLINTON was my counselor in Cabin 6 and, forty years later,
remains one of the kindest people I
have ever known. One of my favor-
ite things about camp was the sense
of anticipation from one year to the
next. Every year that you came back
the awards were better and the activities more exciting. I couldn’t wait to
be a Seahawk and get to scuba dive!!!
BOB KINGMAN and SCOTT
JOHNSON were my counselors in the
Shark cabin. I have no idea how they
pulled that offl They were best friends
and we all wanted to be just like them.
They were hilarious and basically
nuts. SCOTT broke his leg that year
(’78) and flnished the term out in a
golf cart. There were so many amazing role models. BILL JOHNSON
was, and remains, a towering figure
to me. I knew him as a camper as
well as a counselor and hope someday to be half the man he is. If you’re
in the Bumet area, drop by the merit
store and buy a copy of his book, it is
magnificent. You’ll never think of
Church Mountain the same way again
(trust me, get the book). He details
the early days and the stories are fantastic. The amount of hard work and
passion that TEX, PAT, BJ, MF, BOB
and ZARK had is inspiring.
I know more people from Camp
Longhorn than any other institution
magical place for all of us to enjoy
and treasure, thank you, thank you.
KYLE FORD
or organization I’ve been involved
with. I recently had the pleasure of
visiting with former US Senator KAY
BAILEY HUTCHISON. We didn’t
talk policy or politics, we talked about
Camp Longhorn and what an indelible mark it left on us.
Thank you HELEN for asking me
to do this. I spent this afternoon at
camp, going through old yearbooks
and smiling. To all of the amazing
people since 1939 that made that
KYLE FORD, what a great story!
Love all the names you have included
and all of your “small” memories
bring back so many stories that one
forgets through the years! I am so
glad you spent the afternoon at camp,
going through old yearbooks and
smiling! KYLE grew up in Dallas and
lives there now with wife CARRIE and
their 4 children TAYLOR (22), JACK
(18), CAROLINE (14) and ELLA (12).
He was a camper, ‘72-’79 and a counselor 3 years ‘80-’82. He is in a family owned commercial real estate
company and is involved with Homes
for Wounded Warriors. Wife CARRIE is an institutional stock trader.
A graduate of SMU, he says as a
camper he was Campfire Lighter 3
or 4 times and as a counselor in
Cabin 3 all 3 years! Asked if there
was anything else he would like to
add . . . Yes, if you’re hiring, send me
an application!! KYLE is for sure a
Camp Longhorn Man and we appreciate him taking time from a busy
schedule to jot down such wonderful
memories!
Life Lessons From Camp Longhorn A
By PEGGY SCOGGINS
Growing up in Michigan I had
never heard of Camp Longhorn. Not
until I moved to Dallas in 1986 and
met my husband LEE SCOGGINS.
LEE was a 2 year camper and a 4
year counselor and I would hear these
fun stories from him about the blob,
mile swim, camp fire, chow hall, and
friends etc.
When my girls were born there
was no doubt from very early on that
they were going to be campers. LEE
would tell them how much fun it was
and what great friendships you can
make there. When my oldest daughter turned 8 we attended our first Carnival in Dallas. After seeing her eyes
light up, I knew this would be a great
opportunity for her.
The time came for us to take her
to Valley View mall to meet her new
camp friends and board the bus to Indian Springs. As one can imagine, I
cried the entire way home. Our six
year old was wondering why we just
left her sister at this bus and went
home.
I woke up every morning at 5 am
to look for pictures online and would
pull up the radar constantly to see
what the weather was like in Burnet.
To see her face on the daily online
pictures made my day. It warmed my
heart that she was having the time of
her life.
The weeks seem to have passed
quickly and before you know it, we
were attending my first V-day. We
parked our car and made a beeline to
the pony cabin where we saw
HAYLEY running towards us with a
huge smile on her face. We were relieved to see her smile.
We toured the camp and went to
her activities then the sound all kids
do not want to hear, “So Longhorn”
She didn’t want to leave! All I can
say is she cried all the way back to
Dallas that day.
and CLH loves you for sharing your
two beautiful daughters with us!
PEGGY never attend Camp but husband LEE (a CLH favorite!) attended
2 years as a camper and 4 years as a
counselor at Indian Springs. PEGGY
was raised in Plymouth, Michigan
and now lives with LEE and their two
girls . . HAYLEY (16) and 2013 will
be her 9th year at CLH Indian
Springs and AMANDA (14) and 2013
will be her 7th year at CLH Indian
Springs . . in Highland Village, TX
(just outside of Dallas). PEGGY is a
retired Flight Attendant with American Airlines and LEE is director National Account Sales. PEGGY is a
graduate of the University of Tennessee. Asked if she would like to mention anything else? . . “I never attended Camp Longhorn but grew over
the years to love it as much as my
PEGGY SCOGGINS
girls do. We are blessed to have our
Burnet friends in our life.” We thank
I knew from that moment on Camp you, PEGGY SCOGGINS, for your
Longhorn would be a big part of our special message and we thank you for
life. HAYLEY is now 16 and will be a your CLH Loyalty!
Wrangler Chief this summer and our
other daughter AMANDA is 14 and
will be a Marina.
There are not many places in
today’s world that our kids can just get
away from all their worries and anxieties and just be a kid and play. My
girls have both said once the bus turns
into Camp Longorn they both just seem
to breathe easier. They seem relieved
to give up all their technology like cell
phones and computers and just relax.
The stars seem brighter at camp. The
friendships my girls have created at
Camp Longhorn will be cherished all
their lives. It takes a lot these days to
raise good kids. I feel Camp Longhorn has helped us with keeping both
my daughters just really good teenagers.
PEGGY SCOGGINS, what a heartwarming, uplifting and fun story to
read! You’all love Camp Longhorn

The Truth About TEX - Full Circle
By KRISTIN URBAN
KEMMETT
There is a place, among the hills
and dales ... Oh, when a Longhorn girl
walks down the street ... I have been
singing these songs to GEORGIA and
GREER since birth! I could not wait
until the summer of 2012 when
BRYAN and I put GEORGIA on the
bus for the first time. Just as anxious,
I cannot wait until the summer of 2015,
when we put GREER on the bus for
the first time. My non-CLH mommy
friends think I am nuts. All of my CLH
friends completely understand and can
relate. I was so excited about GEORGIA going to camp for the first time
that I got out my trusty camp trunk of
14 years. I wanted to go too!
I was a 3rd Term camper so naturally I wanted my girls to go 3rd Term
too. When it was time to place GEORGIA, BILL called and asked me what
I thought about 2nd Term. I did not
know what to say and with so many
thoughts racing through my mind, I
finally realized how ridiculous I was
being. It does not matter what term
GEORGIA goes as long as she has the
same positive experience that I had. I
wanted nothing more than for her to
love CLH as much as I did and continue to love.
I quickly learned GEORGIA would
be starting camp with a little girl,
whose mother and I started camp together in the Wren cabin in 1983. In
addition, a handful of other little girls
whose mothers I went to camp with.
My thought - how special is that! It
was a sign, it does not matter the term,
GEORGIA is just where she needs to
be at Camp Longhorn! This notion
was even more evident this winter
when I took the girls ice-skating on a
trip to Houston. A girl skated up to
GEORGIA and said, “Don’t you go to
Camp Longhorn?” GEORGIA confirmed her thought and they exchanged
hellos and see you this summer! It is
the CLH connection, and my first year
camper is already experiencing it.
When BILL delivered GEORGIA’s
annual, he asked me how it felt to have
a camper. Without hesitation, I simply replied that I have come full circle
and it is special to share similar stories and experiences with GEORGIA.
After 30 years of my first year at CLH,
some things have changed, but so
much more has not, and that is the
beauty of Camp Longhorn. It is the
simple things like swimming the Mile
Swim and not having to wear a banana
on the Blob.
I was so anxious to find out if
GEORGIA swam the Mile. I showed
her pictures posted on the website the
last few days of the term. One was of
her cabin on the Blob tower with no
bananas, and GEORGIA said, “Silly
mommy, you should have known I
swam the mile.” Silly me, I did not
remember the important milestones of
being a Wren! However, I think it runs
deeper.
I often wondered and felt sad about
what camp would be like when TEX
was no longer present in body. My
concerns came to a screeching halt the
day GEORGIA came home from camp
and told me that she saw TEX. With
a puzzled thought, I grinned from ear
to ear and told her TEX is a pretty

GEORGIA’S CLH trunk (summer of 2012) and her Mom’s trunk (summer of 1983)! GREER will be a camper soon.
amazing creature. It reminded me of
my fondest personal memory of TEX
as “Dr. Schwartz.” I think this is where
I obtained my “I can do it” attitude.
I was a counselor on duty the night
Dr. Schwartz came to girl’s campfire.
I am deathly afraid of snakes, but that
simply was not an option that night.
We assisted Dr. Schwartz with his
mailbags full of creepy crawly creatures. I did it, and I survived. No, I do
not seek out snakes, but I know, if I
need to, I can. Many experiences at
camp taught me the “if I need to, I can
lesson” and duct tape fixes everything!
The fundamental ideas that TEX
and PAT founded CLH on are still alive
and well today because many individuals like me have come full circle. In
fact, CLH is one big circle - there is no
break in the CLH tradition. When
counselors “retire,” they pass the torch
to the next “generation” of counselors
who were most likely campers and
have the CLH spirit deep in their soul.
If you were not a camper, you certainly
learn quickly that the spirit is contagious beyond your wildest expectations.
I love and cherish that I can share
and relate to GEORGIA’s first year experiences, and I am looking forward
to reminiscing with her, as well as
GREER, year after year until it is my
grandchild’s turn to be a first year
camper. Therefore, the truth about
TEX is that today TEX is bigger than
any person is, and his work has gone
on longer than any of us have lived and
will live. It is important for all of us
present and past to hold the privileges
and traditions of Camp Longhorn sacred.
I cannot begin to thank my parents
enough for making the all-important
decision to send me to Camp Longhorn and hope my girls will feel the
same. Thank you TEX & PAT and
thank you to the ROBERTSON family, the FRADY family, and all campers, counselors and staff who have
passed through the famous gate to
help keep the integrity that was
founded 74 years ago!!!
We thank you, KRISTIN URBAN

story full of sooo many memories . .

not thought of Dr. Schwartz.in a while
but your story brings back sooo many

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It . . . The CLH Tradition Holds
By LIESL SCOTT KEETER
This year, 2013, is my second year
as a CLH camper... PARENT! MY
daughter HANNA LOVED her first
year as a Pally at Indian Springs in
2012 and is getting more and more
excited about year two. So am I! I
was a CLH camper from 1976 - 1981
at Inks, First Term. After 30 (give or
take a few years, or decades... ) of
being a grown-up with a job and responsibilities and the occasional fond
memory of my time at Camp, I’m
getting to experience the phenomenon of CLH from the parent’s perspective.
Until last summer, my CLH
memories had grown hazy over time
and my involvement was vicariously
through my sister (AMY SCOTT
FORTENBERRY). AMY has remained involved with Camp since
1976, having been a camper for 9
years, summer nanny for NAN and
BOBBY, and a counselor for I- don’teven- know- how- many- years. Now
AMY and her husband WARREN
certify the CLH lifeguards, WARREN
has been a Camp EMT for two years
and their daughter, EMMA, a camper
for two years.
So, when HELEN FRADY asked
me at Carnival to share my Camp
memories for LUMnews, I was flattered. And then I thought, “Good
grief... it’s been forever, I haven’t
stayed in touch like my sister did,
what will I say?” The light bulb in
my head had the good sense to go on,
rather than flickering like there’s
blown fuse, and I realized that so
much of what makes CLH special
hasn’t changed. Oh sure, now we
parents can check in daily online and
email our kids, but all the essentials
are the same. And for all of us campers-turned-camper’s parents, it’s
probably even more special to see it
through the eyes of our kids, not to
mention spouses, family and friends
who had never been involved until
now.
The dusty memories come back
slowly: at that first Carnival with
games and jokes that are the same and
yet, still funny; when we dropped
HANNA off at the bus last June with
a lot of ATTAWAYTOGOs being exchanged; when checking the photos
every evening (what a treat that is!)
and seeing the fun; and then,
OMIGOSH ... V-Day! The sights and
sounds of CLH!
We got in line early with Starbucks
and scones, a “new’ development in
V-Day activities since the late 1970s,
but not a bad one, especially since
most of the people in the Marble Falls
Starbucks that morning were also
headed to Burnet. We arrived early
enough that, from our spot in line,
we could hear the music start and
then the countdown to let the cars in.
I got such a thrill of excitement - I’d
forgotten about the countdown!
My raggedy, sunburned, crazycamp-hair HANNA looked so excited
to see her family and show us all
around. First the cabin - which,
hello! - looks the same as the cabins
in which I spent most of June for six
years! I confirmed with my bottombunk niece EMMA that she’d stuck
her feet up on the top bunk to bounce
HANNA around, just as I’d instructed
her before Camp started. She demonstrated her technique - same squeaky
springs!
After the cabin meeting, we were
off to activities. My son and fatherin-law had wandered off to check out
the Camp golf course right next to
pickle-ball, where our day’s activities
began. I wanted everyone to see the
OD in/out reports, so sent my husband
on a reconnaissance mission to find
them, because surely, SURELY, since
I was suddenly giddy about seeing my
first “OD in” since 1981, they might
regret missing out. I was hoping for
something complicated to see if the
OD could handle the pressure of somebody with a red pin, somebody at Pit
Stop, etc. I was explaining to my family (not to my mother, she knows the
drill) the finer nuances of said complicated OD report and the importance
of getting it right when I realized I
might be over-selling this
timehonored task to the rookies
(mostly because their eyes had glazed
over). So, OK, maybe a bunch of
tired, excited, giggling 8-year-olds
doing an “OD in” at pickle-ball isn’t
the Oscars, but I teared-up anyway.
No matter! Off to the Lower Lake
for activity two! The OD nailed her
report and the Pallies put on their ba-
LIESL SCOTT KEETER
nanas to hit all that new fun stuff in
the Lower Lake. Well, new to me,
anyway! What wasn’t new and what,
again, gave me that unexpected thrill
was the “All Out”...still done EXACTLY the same as in 1981! On
the way to the last activity of the term
(kayaks; what a sweet little beach and
water feature that is!), I chatted with
another mom who had actually been
at Inks First Term right up until 1975;
we’d missed each other by a year but
had so much fun talking about all the
memories we were reliving by actually
being AT Camp!
I can only imagine what it would
be like if I were at Inks and visiting
my old cabins, Chow Hall, Mary’s
Cabin, Merit Store, etc. Would my
plaques still be displayed somewhere?
Would my name be on the Mile Swim
list of Top Five Milers? Would I remember which spout at Old Faceful got
me every single time? Would I get
LOST??? Or know my way around as
if it was 1982 instead of 2012?
It was hard to leave Camp that VDay for me because what makes Camp
special is the tradition...”if it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it.” Those traditions
are what I experienced and what have
made the reconnection with CLH so
special. I realized I’d started a new
CLH journey with my daughter, and I
was having a blast! Maybe my son will
want to go in a year or two when he’s
old enough. We’ve recruited a friend
of HANNA’s to Camp this summer;
one look at the carnival movies and he
was sold! Now I get to enjoy V-Day
with another set of rookies and I cannot wait!

Always ... CLH Memories Are Never Ending
By SUSAN STIPLING EDWARDS
It’s almost Camp Time! I’ve been
hearing this now around my house
ever since we went to Carnival in
January. That carnival movie always
gets our boys excited for summer to
finally get here so they can ditch their
books for beach towels, swim trunks
and merit pins. Each V-day when I
pick them up they always say that this
was their best time yet. It always gets
better with new friends, new activities and new experiences., Even
though their memories are not the
same as mine were, they are always
so similar when I start to hear the details unfold. Camp Longhorn always
seems to stay the same but yet it also
seems to get better with time and as
we add to those memories. Both as
we age and as we experience them all
over again with our kids.
My memories are of Super Camper
and theirs are of Longhorn Cup. My
memories are of one coed lake and
theirs are of Upper and Lower lake.
My memories are of one dance on the
tennis court with all ages and theirs
are of theme nights and divisions of
ages. But so many, more memories
are exactly the same. The gum drop,
KP duty, serving, merits and demerits, the merit store, hoss, O.D., Church
Mountain, swimming in the hoss
trough, apple crisp, Campfire Lighter,
sing-songs, the cabin names, blob,
mile swim, trampoline, free and easy,
the Sunshine Bus, trips to Inks Lake,
the pit stop, snack time, after dinner
activities, merit questions, putting
down the shutters during a rain storm,
Old Faceful, tumping your canoe,
Devil’s Water Hole, the underwater
surprises, the water sock, the trolley,
swim bay, “all-out”, quiet time, mail
call, Funtastics, daddy long legs, frog
day, camp carnival, king and queen,
prince and princess, early birds,
greasy chicken on the bus ride, skits,
inspection, merit foods, water polo,
the smell of the 22’s, 22 shell metal
trays, the quiet walk to Church
Mountain, snake pit, getting squirted
on the blob, friendship flash, whole
cabin on the blob, archery, TAPS, the
treehouse, lifesaver tree, Pita, Fiesta
Swim, earcohol, countdown on Vday, trail rides, movie night, name
tha, all camp picnic, hoss show,
chicken fried steak, H20 show, getting married, silly camp signs, getting merits for dancing, pancakes and
bacon, writing letters to friends and
family, the distance, jumping off the
2nd tower, the library, camp chores,
blobbing after dinner and waiting for
that cabin surprise from your generals.
My oldest gets the proud duty”to
protect Indian Springs this year as a
Marine. He has heard stories from me
and his uncle about the famed generals and the calls of duty that take place
during the basic training and the ultimate sacrifice which happens to get
mud all over everyone.
What I can’t wait to hear are all the
funny moments that are unique to his
group. I also look forward to testing
their strength with water balloons on
V-day. Yes, something tells me that
this will be their best year ever at Camp
Longhorn! We all look forward to returning and making memories for
many years to come! I appreciate the
opportunity that I was given as a
camper and especially seeing it repeat
through the eyes of my children.
Thanks for the memories!
SUSAN STRIPLING EDWARDS,
thanks for your wonderful memories!
Your writing brings back fond thoughts
of the many, many, wonderful happenings that take place year after year
after year at CLH! Through your children the list grows and isn’t it fun to
mostly know what will be happening
this coming summer as your children
make new friends, have new activities and entertain new experiences!
SUSAN, who grew up in Carrollton,
now lives in Frisco with husband
STEVE and their boys . . RYAN (14)
and 2013 will be his 5th year at Indian Springs; DREW (12) and 2013
will be his 5th year at Indian Springs;
BRENDAN (10) and 2013 will be his
3rd year at Indian Springs. A Campfire Lighter, she was a camper 1979 1985 at Indian Springs. SUSAN, formerly in Advertising is now a stayat-home MOM and husband STEVE

Passing On The Tradition of Camp Longhorn
CLH and the merit system that is used
to help with rewards/consequences.
Often I find myself saying to my children, “that would be a “D” or “A
merit for you, Attaway to Go!”
I hope to continue the tradition
with CLH through my children and
hopefully one day attend V-Day to
pick up my grandchildren. Even
though that is many years in the future, I believe in my heart that Camp
Longhorn will still be there, and will
still be instilling positive values in the
hearts of its campers.
Attawaytogo CLH for keeping
with tradition!
By KARIN SOLOMON
SALTSMAN
Camp was always a part of our
childhood. My parents grew up in
New York and they would attend
sleep away camp for eight weeks every summer. It was obvious to us at a
young age that my parents wanted
to continue this tradition with me and
my two sisters.
My parents tried three summer
camps before they heard about a
camp in Burnet, Texas named Camp
Longhorn. By this time, my older
sister was too old to be a camper and
I was already in middle school. My
little sister and I were interviewed
and enrolled in the 3rd Term of the
Ranch Branch in 1984. I was a Mustang and Lori was a Palomino. I was
so excited to be going to this great
camp after we heard about its wonderful reputation and we were not
disappointed, we had a great time.
My favorite activities included Blob,
Archery, Trampoline, and of course,
Swim Bay.
We happily went back to camp in
1985. This time my older sister
ANNIE joined us as a counselor. I
was thrilled to be a Marina. To this
day, I still remember marching in the
Mud Pit and saying “Love this Mud
Sir, Love this Mud.” Enjoying camp
and sharing it with my siblings made
for memorable memories. Even
though I only attended camp for two
years, CLH made a mark on my adolescent years and would teach me
many lessons that I would take into
my adulthood..
Even after I wasn’t a camper anymore, I still enjoyed going back every summer to pick up my sister
LORI who continued as a camper for
KARIN SOLOMON ZALTSMAN
(right) ‘84/’85 ... at Hossback . .
Indian Springs
8 years, and my old sister ANNIE,
who continued as a counselor for 7
years. There is something special
about walking around camp on VDay and being surround by smiling
faces, watching kids run to their parents for big hugs and witnessing kids
say sweet goodbyes to friends they
hope to see again next year.
My older sister ANNIE passed on
the CLH tradition first to her boys,
NATHAN, ANDREW, and STEVEN
ZUCKER, as they all attended Indian
Springs 3rd term for many years. I
couldn’t wait until I had children old
enough to also attend. My day to FINALLY pass on the tradition came
last year when my daughter EMILY
completed 2nd grade. In continuing
with the tradition, we sent her to Indian Springs, formerly Ranch Branch
for 3rd term just like my sisters, neph-
ews and I went. EMILY had the best
time as her first year as a Pony. She
loved everything about camp! She was
voted “Miss Sing” and excelled in
many of the activities that I loved as a
camper.
Besides the memories, I learned a
lot of important lessons at camp which
include treating others with respect,
learning to brag on others and not
myself and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of nature. I wish that I would
have had the opportunity to attend
CLH at a younger age as I might have
found it easier to make friends and
bond with the other girls. Starting in
the adolescent years was a challenge
for me. Regardless, I still loved my two
years as a camper at CLH and wanted
to pass on the tradition of CLH to my
own children.
I love the values that are taught at
What a beautiful story you tell,
KARIN SOLOMON ZALTSMAN.
Sooo interesting and personal. It’s a
great story about your sisters and
ANNIE’s children and your children.
It’s a story that reflects the teachings
of CLH and the positive values it instills in the hearts of the campers.
KARIN, from San Antonio, lives there
now with husband TAMIR and their
girls . . EMILY (9) and 2013 will be
her 2nd year at Indian Springs and
SARAH (7), future camper in 2014.
Even though a camper for just 2
years, KARIN is a true Longhorn
Girl. She attended Indian Springs in
‘84 and ‘85. KARIN is a Lecturer,
Adjunct Faculty at UTSA in College
of Education and Human Development. TAMIR is Applied Materials
Sales Specialist. As a camper, she was
Song Leader - Marinas ‘85. She received her BS at Texas State University in ‘93 and MS from Texas A&M,
Kingsville ‘99. We love your story,
KARIN, and thank you so very, very
much for taking the time to jot down
your thoughts and memories. See you
V-Day 2013!
CLH - Heaven On Earth For Many, Many Years
By AMANDA MURRAY
STETLER
My first summer at camp, my
mom was worried about me becoming homesick. They dropped me off
at the Lark cabin, I said good-bye,
and didn’t stop smiling for three
weeks. I knew no one that first summer, but left with twelve new best
friends. I wrote letters home telling
my parents about the blob, sailing,
the watersocks, how I had gotten
married at Carnival, and oh by the
way, I broke my toe but it’s cool- I
just taped it to the next one.
On V-Day I showed them how
high the lake had come during the
term, completely covering girl’s
campfire. Little did I know that
Camp Longhorn would be one of the
experiences that most influenced
who I am today. A few years after
that first year, I even chose to go back
to camp over a trip sailing in Croatia.
My experiences at camp only
grew richer as I became a counselor.
If there was something I was born to
do, it was to be a Chief counselor.
The numerous campers I had during
the eleven terms I had the Chiefs
taught me so much about life. Like
the importance of flexibility and a
positive attitude when JORDAN
JEFFUS and I lived in the scuba
house for the majority of three weeks
with 30 Chiefs due to our cabin flooding. Or the time we learned about
patience during Early Days picking
up cow manure all over girls camp.
Or when we had to face our fear of
snakes when BILLY ROB caught
(with his bare hands) a snake easily
over 4 feet long hanging from the
rafters of the water trolley just outside the Chief cabin.
The summer after I graduated college, I found myself back at camp finishing up 2nd term, days before I
started medical school. I had a few
weeks of freedom between graduation
and orientation, and I wanted to spend
it at my favorite place on Earth. Over
the years I have been so fortunate to
keep in touch with many of my campers. It enriches my life to see them
grow up and find their place in this
world.
Your camp friendships are the only
ones that can pick right back up where
you left off the summer before. My
camp friends and I have always had
reunions, and it really feels as though
no time has passed since our last visit.
Boyfriends and husbands have joined
us over the years, and they can’t believe we can talk about camp for days
straight. They are often shocked to
find out that we can dock a ski boat
perfectly, rig sailboats by ourselves,
flawlessly slice a watermelon, and fix
any toilets that break.
more to come. Even though camp may
get new blob towers or a new library,
the values, friendships, and traditions
will never change.
AMANDA MURRAY STETLER
It breaks my heart that I have outgrown my time at Camp Longhorn.
My only resignation is the fact that I
can some day share the same camp that
was such a big piece of my life with
my children. I married someone who
had never heard of Camp Longhorn,
so before we got married I made sure
he agreed that our kids will go to Camp
Longhorn no matter what. I know that
when they go, they will be experiencing the same thing I did, just with different people.
What TEX created was so pure. I
am proud that the traditions born over
the years will be traditions for many
What a great story, AMANDA
MURRAY STETLER! You went
through many, many years of your
camping experience in a few sentences
and sooo much fun to read! I hope
that some day there is a plaque in the
Chief cabin that says something like .
. . AMANDA MURRAY’s bunk and
Cabin for 11 terms and many years!
Yes, you were born to be an outstanding Chief counselor! AMANDA, a
camper seven years and counselor 6
years at Inks Lake, was raised in Fredericksburg, TX! As a Medical Student, she has not yet settled on a town
to call home! AMANDA will start
OBGYN Residency this coming summer. Husband JACOB, is an Anesthesiology Resident. As a camper, she was
Campfire Lighter - 1998 and voted
Favorite Counselor in 2007. She was
in charge of sailing, Camp Carnivals
and yes, Chief Counselor! Her undergraduate work was at the University
of Texas in Austin and then University
of North Texas Medical School. We
thank you, AMANDA, for your wonderful contributions here at Camp and
we thank you for a great story! WE

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It . . . The CLH Tradition Holds
By LIESL SCOTT KEETER
This year, 2013, is my second year
as a CLH camper... PARENT! MY
daughter HANNA LOVED her first
year as a Pally at Indian Springs in
2012 and is getting more and more
excited about year two. So am I! I
was a CLH camper from 1976 - 1981
at Inks, First Term. After 30 (give or
take a few years, or decades... ) of
being a grown-up with a job and responsibilities and the occasional fond
memory of my time at Camp, I’m
getting to experience the phenomenon of CLH from the parent’s perspective.
Until last summer, my CLH
memories had grown hazy over time
and my involvement was vicariously
through my sister (AMY SCOTT
FORTENBERRY). AMY has remained involved with Camp since
1976, having been a camper for 9
years, summer nanny for NAN and
BOBBY, and a counselor for I- don’teven- know- how- many- years. Now
AMY and her husband WARREN
certify the CLH lifeguards, WARREN
has been a Camp EMT for two years
and their daughter, EMMA, a camper
for two years.
So, when HELEN FRADY asked
me at Carnival to share my Camp
memories for LUMnews, I was flattered. And then I thought, “Good
grief... it’s been forever, I haven’t
stayed in touch like my sister did,
what will I say?” The light bulb in
my head had the good sense to go on,
rather than flickering like there’s
blown fuse, and I realized that so
much of what makes CLH special
hasn’t changed. Oh sure, now we
parents can check in daily online and
email our kids, but all the essentials
are the same. And for all of us campers-turned-camper’s parents, it’s
probably even more special to see it
through the eyes of our kids, not to
mention spouses, family and friends
who had never been involved until
now.
The dusty memories come back
slowly: at that first Carnival with
games and jokes that are the same and
yet, still funny; when we dropped
HANNA off at the bus last June with
a lot of ATTAWAYTOGOs being exchanged; when checking the photos
every evening (what a treat that is!)
and seeing the fun; and then,
OMIGOSH ... V-Day! The sights and
sounds of CLH!
We got in line early with Starbucks
and scones, a “new’ development in
V-Day activities since the late 1970s,
but not a bad one, especially since
most of the people in the Marble Falls
Starbucks that morning were also
headed to Burnet. We arrived early
enough that, from our spot in line,
we could hear the music start and
then the countdown to let the cars in.
I got such a thrill of excitement - I’d
forgotten about the countdown!
My raggedy, sunburned, crazycamp-hair HANNA looked so excited
to see her family and show us all
around. First the cabin - which,
hello! - looks the same as the cabins
in which I spent most of June for six
years! I confirmed with my bottombunk niece EMMA that she’d stuck
her feet up on the top bunk to bounce
HANNA around, just as I’d instructed
her before Camp started. She demonstrated her technique - same squeaky
springs!
After the cabin meeting, we were
off to activities. My son and fatherin-law had wandered off to check out
the Camp golf course right next to
pickle-ball, where our day’s activities
began. I wanted everyone to see the
OD in/out reports, so sent my husband
on a reconnaissance mission to find
them, because surely, SURELY, since
I was suddenly giddy about seeing my
first “OD in” since 1981, they might
regret missing out. I was hoping for
something complicated to see if the
OD could handle the pressure of somebody with a red pin, somebody at Pit
Stop, etc. I was explaining to my family (not to my mother, she knows the
drill) the finer nuances of said complicated OD report and the importance
of getting it right when I realized I
might be over-selling this
timehonored task to the rookies
(mostly because their eyes had glazed
over). So, OK, maybe a bunch of
tired, excited, giggling 8-year-olds
doing an “OD in” at pickle-ball isn’t
the Oscars, but I teared-up anyway.
No matter! Off to the Lower Lake
for activity two! The OD nailed her
report and the Pallies put on their ba-
LIESL SCOTT KEETER
nanas to hit all that new fun stuff in
the Lower Lake. Well, new to me,
anyway! What wasn’t new and what,
again, gave me that unexpected thrill
was the “All Out”...still done EXACTLY the same as in 1981! On
the way to the last activity of the term
(kayaks; what a sweet little beach and
water feature that is!), I chatted with
another mom who had actually been
at Inks First Term right up until 1975;
we’d missed each other by a year but
had so much fun talking about all the
memories we were reliving by actually
being AT Camp!
I can only imagine what it would
be like if I were at Inks and visiting
my old cabins, Chow Hall, Mary’s
Cabin, Merit Store, etc. Would my
plaques still be displayed somewhere?
Would my name be on the Mile Swim
list of Top Five Milers? Would I remember which spout at Old Faceful got
me every single time? Would I get
LOST??? Or know my way around as
if it was 1982 instead of 2012?
It was hard to leave Camp that VDay for me because what makes Camp
special is the tradition...”if it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it.” Those traditions
are what I experienced and what have
made the reconnection with CLH so
special. I realized I’d started a new
CLH journey with my daughter, and I
was having a blast! Maybe my son will
want to go in a year or two when he’s
old enough. We’ve recruited a friend
of HANNA’s to Camp this summer;
one look at the carnival movies and he
was sold! Now I get to enjoy V-Day
with another set of rookies and I cannot wait!

your daughter’s. LIESL, a camper
for six years (1976-1981) at Inks

She now lives in McKinney with husband GEORGE and children HANNA

As a camper her honors included
Campfire Lighter, Top Five Miler and
her activity awards were soccer, swim
and a Regatta Winner. LIESL graduated from the University of Texas in
Austin with a Bachelor of Journalism Degree. Asked if anything else
she would like to add and she said
she would love to reconnect with

Always ... CLH Memories Are Never Ending
By SUSAN STIPLING EDWARDS
It’s almost Camp Time! I’ve been
hearing this now around my house
ever since we went to Carnival in
January. That carnival movie always
gets our boys excited for summer to
finally get here so they can ditch their
books for beach towels, swim trunks
and merit pins. Each V-day when I
pick them up they always say that this
was their best time yet. It always gets
better with new friends, new activities and new experiences., Even
though their memories are not the
same as mine were, they are always
so similar when I start to hear the details unfold. Camp Longhorn always
seems to stay the same but yet it also
seems to get better with time and as
we add to those memories. Both as
we age and as we experience them all
over again with our kids.
My memories are of Super Camper
and theirs are of Longhorn Cup. My
memories are of one coed lake and
theirs are of Upper and Lower lake.
My memories are of one dance on the
tennis court with all ages and theirs
are of theme nights and divisions of
ages. But so many, more memories
are exactly the same. The gum drop,
KP duty, serving, merits and demerits, the merit store, hoss, O.D., Church
Mountain, swimming in the hoss
trough, apple crisp, Campfire Lighter,
sing-songs, the cabin names, blob,
mile swim, trampoline, free and easy,
the Sunshine Bus, trips to Inks Lake,
the pit stop, snack time, after dinner
activities, merit questions, putting
down the shutters during a rain storm,
Old Faceful, tumping your canoe,
Devil’s Water Hole, the underwater
surprises, the water sock, the trolley,
swim bay, “all-out”, quiet time, mail
call, Funtastics, daddy long legs, frog
day, camp carnival, king and queen,
prince and princess, early birds,
greasy chicken on the bus ride, skits,
inspection, merit foods, water polo,
the smell of the 22’s, 22 shell metal
trays, the quiet walk to Church
Mountain, snake pit, getting squirted
on the blob, friendship flash, whole
cabin on the blob, archery, TAPS, the
treehouse, lifesaver tree, Pita, Fiesta
Swim, earcohol, countdown on Vday, trail rides, movie night, name
tha, all camp picnic, hoss show,
chicken fried steak, H20 show, getting married, silly camp signs, getting merits for dancing, pancakes and
bacon, writing letters to friends and
family, the distance, jumping off the
2nd tower, the library, camp chores,
blobbing after dinner and waiting for
that cabin surprise from your generals.
My oldest gets the proud duty”to
protect Indian Springs this year as a
Marine. He has heard stories from me
and his uncle about the famed generals and the calls of duty that take place
during the basic training and the ultimate sacrifice which happens to get
mud all over everyone.
What I can’t wait to hear are all the
funny moments that are unique to his
group. I also look forward to testing
their strength with water balloons on
V-day. Yes, something tells me that
this will be their best year ever at Camp
Longhorn! We all look forward to returning and making memories for
many years to come! I appreciate the
opportunity that I was given as a
camper and especially seeing it repeat
through the eyes of my children.
Thanks for the memories!
SUSAN STRIPLING EDWARDS,
thanks for your wonderful memories!
Your writing brings back fond thoughts
of the many, many, wonderful happenings that take place year after year
after year at CLH! Through your children the list grows and isn’t it fun to
mostly know what will be happening
this coming summer as your children
make new friends, have new activities and entertain new experiences!
SUSAN, who grew up in Carrollton,
now lives in Frisco with husband
STEVE and their boys . . RYAN (14)
and 2013 will be his 5th year at Indian Springs; DREW (12) and 2013
will be his 5th year at Indian Springs;
BRENDAN (10) and 2013 will be his
3rd year at Indian Springs. A Campfire Lighter, she was a camper 1979 1985 at Indian Springs. SUSAN, formerly in Advertising is now a stayat-home MOM and husband STEVE
is in pneumatic sales. She mentions
that brother JEFF STRIPLING attended CLH Indian Springs for many
years and her nieces, CAROLYN &
MARYBETH STRIPLING will be at
Indian Springs this coming summer!
SUSAN graduated from U.T. Austin!

Passing On The Tradition of Camp Longhorn
CLH and the merit system that is used
to help with rewards/consequences.
Often I find myself saying to my children, “that would be a “D” or “A
merit for you, Attaway to Go!”
I hope to continue the tradition
with CLH through my children and
hopefully one day attend V-Day to
pick up my grandchildren. Even
though that is many years in the future, I believe in my heart that Camp
Longhorn will still be there, and will
still be instilling positive values in the
hearts of its campers.
Attawaytogo CLH for keeping
with tradition!
By KARIN SOLOMON
SALTSMAN
Camp was always a part of our
childhood. My parents grew up in
New York and they would attend
sleep away camp for eight weeks every summer. It was obvious to us at a
young age that my parents wanted
to continue this tradition with me and
my two sisters.
My parents tried three summer
camps before they heard about a
camp in Burnet, Texas named Camp
Longhorn. By this time, my older
sister was too old to be a camper and
I was already in middle school. My
little sister and I were interviewed
and enrolled in the 3rd Term of the
Ranch Branch in 1984. I was a Mustang and Lori was a Palomino. I was
so excited to be going to this great
camp after we heard about its wonderful reputation and we were not
disappointed, we had a great time.
My favorite activities included Blob,
Archery, Trampoline, and of course,
Swim Bay.
We happily went back to camp in
1985. This time my older sister
ANNIE joined us as a counselor. I
was thrilled to be a Marina. To this
day, I still remember marching in the
Mud Pit and saying “Love this Mud
Sir, Love this Mud.” Enjoying camp
and sharing it with my siblings made
for memorable memories. Even
though I only attended camp for two
years, CLH made a mark on my adolescent years and would teach me
many lessons that I would take into
my adulthood..
Even after I wasn’t a camper anymore, I still enjoyed going back every summer to pick up my sister
LORI who continued as a camper for
KARIN SOLOMON ZALTSMAN
(right) ‘84/’85 ... at Hossback . .
Indian Springs
8 years, and my old sister ANNIE,
who continued as a counselor for 7
years. There is something special
about walking around camp on VDay and being surround by smiling
faces, watching kids run to their parents for big hugs and witnessing kids
say sweet goodbyes to friends they
hope to see again next year.
My older sister ANNIE passed on
the CLH tradition first to her boys,
NATHAN, ANDREW, and STEVEN
ZUCKER, as they all attended Indian
Springs 3rd term for many years. I
couldn’t wait until I had children old
enough to also attend. My day to FINALLY pass on the tradition came
last year when my daughter EMILY
completed 2nd grade. In continuing
with the tradition, we sent her to Indian Springs, formerly Ranch Branch
for 3rd term just like my sisters, neph-
ews and I went. EMILY had the best
time as her first year as a Pony. She
loved everything about camp! She was
voted “Miss Sing” and excelled in
many of the activities that I loved as a
camper.
Besides the memories, I learned a
lot of important lessons at camp which
include treating others with respect,
learning to brag on others and not
myself and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of nature. I wish that I would
have had the opportunity to attend
CLH at a younger age as I might have
found it easier to make friends and
bond with the other girls. Starting in
the adolescent years was a challenge
for me. Regardless, I still loved my two
years as a camper at CLH and wanted
to pass on the tradition of CLH to my
own children.
I love the values that are taught at
What a beautiful story you tell,
KARIN SOLOMON ZALTSMAN.
Sooo interesting and personal. It’s a
great story about your sisters and
ANNIE’s children and your children.
It’s a story that reflects the teachings
of CLH and the positive values it instills in the hearts of the campers.
KARIN, from San Antonio, lives there
now with husband TAMIR and their
girls . . EMILY (9) and 2013 will be
her 2nd year at Indian Springs and
SARAH (7), future camper in 2014.
Even though a camper for just 2
years, KARIN is a true Longhorn
Girl. She attended Indian Springs in
‘84 and ‘85. KARIN is a Lecturer,
Adjunct Faculty at UTSA in College
of Education and Human Development. TAMIR is Applied Materials
Sales Specialist. As a camper, she was
Song Leader - Marinas ‘85. She received her BS at Texas State University in ‘93 and MS from Texas A&M,
Kingsville ‘99. We love your story,
KARIN, and thank you so very, very
much for taking the time to jot down
your thoughts and memories. See you
V-Day 2013!
CLH - Heaven On Earth For Many, Many Years
By AMANDA MURRAY
STETLER
My first summer at camp, my
mom was worried about me becoming homesick. They dropped me off
at the Lark cabin, I said good-bye,
and didn’t stop smiling for three
weeks. I knew no one that first summer, but left with twelve new best
friends. I wrote letters home telling
my parents about the blob, sailing,
the watersocks, how I had gotten
married at Carnival, and oh by the
way, I broke my toe but it’s cool- I
just taped it to the next one.
On V-Day I showed them how
high the lake had come during the
term, completely covering girl’s
campfire. Little did I know that
Camp Longhorn would be one of the
experiences that most influenced
who I am today. A few years after
that first year, I even chose to go back
to camp over a trip sailing in Croatia.
My experiences at camp only
grew richer as I became a counselor.
If there was something I was born to
do, it was to be a Chief counselor.
The numerous campers I had during
the eleven terms I had the Chiefs
taught me so much about life. Like
the importance of flexibility and a
positive attitude when JORDAN
JEFFUS and I lived in the scuba
house for the majority of three weeks
with 30 Chiefs due to our cabin flooding. Or the time we learned about
patience during Early Days picking
up cow manure all over girls camp.
Or when we had to face our fear of
snakes when BILLY ROB caught
(with his bare hands) a snake easily
over 4 feet long hanging from the
rafters of the water trolley just outside the Chief cabin.
The summer after I graduated college, I found myself back at camp finishing up 2nd term, days before I
started medical school. I had a few
weeks of freedom between graduation
and orientation, and I wanted to spend
it at my favorite place on Earth. Over
the years I have been so fortunate to
keep in touch with many of my campers. It enriches my life to see them
grow up and find their place in this
world.
Your camp friendships are the only
ones that can pick right back up where
you left off the summer before. My
camp friends and I have always had
reunions, and it really feels as though
no time has passed since our last visit.
Boyfriends and husbands have joined
us over the years, and they can’t believe we can talk about camp for days
straight. They are often shocked to
find out that we can dock a ski boat
perfectly, rig sailboats by ourselves,
flawlessly slice a watermelon, and fix
any toilets that break.
more to come. Even though camp may
get new blob towers or a new library,
the values, friendships, and traditions
will never change.
AMANDA MURRAY STETLER
It breaks my heart that I have outgrown my time at Camp Longhorn.
My only resignation is the fact that I
can some day share the same camp that
was such a big piece of my life with
my children. I married someone who
had never heard of Camp Longhorn,
so before we got married I made sure
he agreed that our kids will go to Camp
Longhorn no matter what. I know that
when they go, they will be experiencing the same thing I did, just with different people.
What TEX created was so pure. I
am proud that the traditions born over
the years will be traditions for many
What a great story, AMANDA
MURRAY STETLER! You went
through many, many years of your
camping experience in a few sentences
and sooo much fun to read! I hope
that some day there is a plaque in the
Chief cabin that says something like .
. . AMANDA MURRAY’s bunk and
Cabin for 11 terms and many years!
Yes, you were born to be an outstanding Chief counselor! AMANDA, a
camper seven years and counselor 6
years at Inks Lake, was raised in Fredericksburg, TX! As a Medical Student, she has not yet settled on a town
to call home! AMANDA will start
OBGYN Residency this coming summer. Husband JACOB, is an Anesthesiology Resident. As a camper, she was
Campfire Lighter - 1998 and voted
Favorite Counselor in 2007. She was
in charge of sailing, Camp Carnivals
and yes, Chief Counselor! Her undergraduate work was at the University
of Texas in Austin and then University
of North Texas Medical School. We
thank you, AMANDA, for your wonderful contributions here at Camp and
we thank you for a great story! WE
APPRECIATE YOU!

LUMNews, May, 2013, Page 19
By KYLE FORD
When HELEN asked me recently
if I would jot down some memories
and thoughts of my time at Camp
Longhorn I jumped at the chance.
After all, if HELEN FRADY asks you
to do something, the only appropriate and acceptable answer is “yes
ma’am.” I learned that many years
ago but this time didn’t receive a
merit. I love Camp Longhorn. I’m
sure every former camper and counselor believes the time they were at
camp was the best time to be there
and I’m no different. From 1972 to
1982 1 had the privilege to write my
verse in the amazing story of Camp
Longhorn.
There isn’t one overriding
memory of camp but rather thousands
of small ones that form a mosaic in
my mind. Everyone’s are different
but here are mine: the black blob with
handles on the side ... Dr. JOE and
PHARAOH... TEX wishing me “a
happy, happy birthday on the loud
speaker every July 25 ... campouts on
the “Riff Raff” and jumping off the
cliff .. BARNEY’s chicken fried steak
... Tang... making hammocks out of
the huge white laundry bags ... merit
questions ... PAT LOCKRIDGE wrestling the alligator ... frog juice ... free
‘n easy ... getting chased out of the
chow hall after “stealing” a watermelon tetherball before meals ... the
bubble gum drop ... jumping off the
tower at swim bay . . . the underwater house ... bath day/dance night...
JOHAN yelling, “tiller towards the
sail” over the loud speaker in that
South African accent ... rest period
with the sprinkler on the roof would
put anyone to sleep
. . . the
funny signs on the main road ... bug
spray and ear drops ... the old super
slide . . movie night ... listening to
BOB TARLTON tell a story in the
dark when all you could see was the
glow of his cigarette ... the mud . .
.liquid kill ..raids ... Leslie’s fried
chicken in Waco on the way down
horses at Inks (I know, that’s how old
I am) ... flashlight wars when it rained
... the sound of cicadas in the trees ...
the Bluebonnet Cafe. . .one match!
... having PAT present me with my
9th year ring at campfire ... the water
show . . .the carnival and “getting
married” in a canoe ... inspections ...
Zorro . . .flag football and pickleball
... cradle-half-turntable-knee-halflogroll-swivel-hips-front drop ... East
Germany... “Day’s done” . . . I could
go on, no really.
The activities and facilities were,
and are, amazing but the most enduring memories of camp to me are the
people. None of it works without the
extraordinary staff of Camp Longhorn. It is a fraternity to which I will
forever boast that I am a member.
There are so many people that hold a
special place in my heart. I was so
saddened to hear of the passing of
JEFF GRAY. He was my counselor
in 1972, Cabin 0, the Mighty
Apaches. He introduced me to Camp
Longhorn. His nickname, “Fun Day”
Gray was well deserved. Throughout the years other counselors impacted my life.
CLEVE CLINTON was my counselor in Cabin 6 and, forty years later,
remains one of the kindest people I
have ever known. One of my favor-
ite things about camp was the sense
of anticipation from one year to the
next. Every year that you came back
the awards were better and the activities more exciting. I couldn’t wait to
be a Seahawk and get to scuba dive!!!
BOB KINGMAN and SCOTT
JOHNSON were my counselors in the
Shark cabin. I have no idea how they
pulled that offl They were best friends
and we all wanted to be just like them.
They were hilarious and basically
nuts. SCOTT broke his leg that year
(’78) and flnished the term out in a
golf cart. There were so many amazing role models. BILL JOHNSON
was, and remains, a towering figure
to me. I knew him as a camper as
well as a counselor and hope someday to be half the man he is. If you’re
in the Bumet area, drop by the merit
store and buy a copy of his book, it is
magnificent. You’ll never think of
Church Mountain the same way again
(trust me, get the book). He details
the early days and the stories are fantastic. The amount of hard work and
passion that TEX, PAT, BJ, MF, BOB
and ZARK had is inspiring.
I know more people from Camp
Longhorn than any other institution
magical place for all of us to enjoy
and treasure, thank you, thank you.
KYLE FORD
or organization I’ve been involved
with. I recently had the pleasure of
visiting with former US Senator KAY
BAILEY HUTCHISON. We didn’t
talk policy or politics, we talked about
Camp Longhorn and what an indelible mark it left on us.
Thank you HELEN for asking me
to do this. I spent this afternoon at
camp, going through old yearbooks
and smiling. To all of the amazing
people since 1939 that made that
KYLE FORD, what a great story!
Love all the names you have included
and all of your “small” memories
bring back so many stories that one
forgets through the years! I am so
glad you spent the afternoon at camp,
going through old yearbooks and
smiling! KYLE grew up in Dallas and
lives there now with wife CARRIE and
their 4 children TAYLOR (22), JACK
(18), CAROLINE (14) and ELLA (12).
He was a camper, ‘72-’79 and a counselor 3 years ‘80-’82. He is in a family owned commercial real estate
company and is involved with Homes
for Wounded Warriors. Wife CARRIE is an institutional stock trader.
A graduate of SMU, he says as a
camper he was Campfire Lighter 3
or 4 times and as a counselor in
Cabin 3 all 3 years! Asked if there
was anything else he would like to
add . . . Yes, if you’re hiring, send me
an application!! KYLE is for sure a
Camp Longhorn Man and we appreciate him taking time from a busy
schedule to jot down such wonderful
memories!
Life Lessons From Camp Longhorn A
By PEGGY SCOGGINS
Growing up in Michigan I had
never heard of Camp Longhorn. Not
until I moved to Dallas in 1986 and
met my husband LEE SCOGGINS.
LEE was a 2 year camper and a 4
year counselor and I would hear these
fun stories from him about the blob,
mile swim, camp fire, chow hall, and
friends etc.
When my girls were born there
was no doubt from very early on that
they were going to be campers. LEE
would tell them how much fun it was
and what great friendships you can
make there. When my oldest daughter turned 8 we attended our first Carnival in Dallas. After seeing her eyes
light up, I knew this would be a great
opportunity for her.
The time came for us to take her
to Valley View mall to meet her new
camp friends and board the bus to Indian Springs. As one can imagine, I
cried the entire way home. Our six
year old was wondering why we just
left her sister at this bus and went
home.
I woke up every morning at 5 am
to look for pictures online and would
pull up the radar constantly to see
what the weather was like in Burnet.
To see her face on the daily online
pictures made my day. It warmed my
heart that she was having the time of
her life.
The weeks seem to have passed
quickly and before you know it, we
were attending my first V-day. We
parked our car and made a beeline to
the pony cabin where we saw
HAYLEY running towards us with a
huge smile on her face. We were relieved to see her smile.
We toured the camp and went to
her activities then the sound all kids
do not want to hear, “So Longhorn”
She didn’t want to leave! All I can
say is she cried all the way back to
Dallas that day.
and CLH loves you for sharing your
two beautiful daughters with us!
PEGGY never attend Camp but husband LEE (a CLH favorite!) attended
2 years as a camper and 4 years as a
counselor at Indian Springs. PEGGY
was raised in Plymouth, Michigan
and now lives with LEE and their two
girls . . HAYLEY (16) and 2013 will
be her 9th year at CLH Indian
Springs and AMANDA (14) and 2013
will be her 7th year at CLH Indian
Springs . . in Highland Village, TX
(just outside of Dallas). PEGGY is a
retired Flight Attendant with American Airlines and LEE is director National Account Sales. PEGGY is a
graduate of the University of Tennessee. Asked if she would like to mention anything else? . . “I never attended Camp Longhorn but grew over
the years to love it as much as my
PEGGY SCOGGINS
girls do. We are blessed to have our
Burnet friends in our life.” We thank
I knew from that moment on Camp you, PEGGY SCOGGINS, for your
Longhorn would be a big part of our special message and we thank you for
life. HAYLEY is now 16 and will be a your CLH Loyalty!
Wrangler Chief this summer and our
other daughter AMANDA is 14 and
will be a Marina.
There are not many places in
today’s world that our kids can just get
away from all their worries and anxieties and just be a kid and play. My
girls have both said once the bus turns
into Camp Longorn they both just seem
to breathe easier. They seem relieved
to give up all their technology like cell
phones and computers and just relax.
The stars seem brighter at camp. The
friendships my girls have created at
Camp Longhorn will be cherished all
their lives. It takes a lot these days to
raise good kids. I feel Camp Longhorn has helped us with keeping both
my daughters just really good teenagers.
PEGGY SCOGGINS, what a heartwarming, uplifting and fun story to
read! You’all love Camp Longhorn

The Truth About TEX - Full Circle
By KRISTIN URBAN
KEMMETT
There is a place, among the hills
and dales ... Oh, when a Longhorn girl
walks down the street ... I have been
singing these songs to GEORGIA and
GREER since birth! I could not wait
until the summer of 2012 when
BRYAN and I put GEORGIA on the
bus for the first time. Just as anxious,
I cannot wait until the summer of 2015,
when we put GREER on the bus for
the first time. My non-CLH mommy
friends think I am nuts. All of my CLH
friends completely understand and can
relate. I was so excited about GEORGIA going to camp for the first time
that I got out my trusty camp trunk of
14 years. I wanted to go too!
I was a 3rd Term camper so naturally I wanted my girls to go 3rd Term
too. When it was time to place GEORGIA, BILL called and asked me what
I thought about 2nd Term. I did not
know what to say and with so many
thoughts racing through my mind, I
finally realized how ridiculous I was
being. It does not matter what term
GEORGIA goes as long as she has the
same positive experience that I had. I
wanted nothing more than for her to
love CLH as much as I did and continue to love.
I quickly learned GEORGIA would
be starting camp with a little girl,
whose mother and I started camp together in the Wren cabin in 1983. In
addition, a handful of other little girls
whose mothers I went to camp with.
My thought - how special is that! It
was a sign, it does not matter the term,
GEORGIA is just where she needs to
be at Camp Longhorn! This notion
was even more evident this winter
when I took the girls ice-skating on a
trip to Houston. A girl skated up to
GEORGIA and said, “Don’t you go to
Camp Longhorn?” GEORGIA confirmed her thought and they exchanged
hellos and see you this summer! It is
the CLH connection, and my first year
camper is already experiencing it.
When BILL delivered GEORGIA’s
annual, he asked me how it felt to have
a camper. Without hesitation, I simply replied that I have come full circle
and it is special to share similar stories and experiences with GEORGIA.
After 30 years of my first year at CLH,
some things have changed, but so
much more has not, and that is the
beauty of Camp Longhorn. It is the
simple things like swimming the Mile
Swim and not having to wear a banana
on the Blob.
I was so anxious to find out if
GEORGIA swam the Mile. I showed
her pictures posted on the website the
last few days of the term. One was of
her cabin on the Blob tower with no
bananas, and GEORGIA said, “Silly
mommy, you should have known I
swam the mile.” Silly me, I did not
remember the important milestones of
being a Wren! However, I think it runs
deeper.
I often wondered and felt sad about
what camp would be like when TEX
was no longer present in body. My
concerns came to a screeching halt the
day GEORGIA came home from camp
and told me that she saw TEX. With
a puzzled thought, I grinned from ear
to ear and told her TEX is a pretty
KRISTIN URBAN KEMMETT with girls GEORGIA (l) and GREER . .
GEORGIA’S CLH trunk (summer of 2012) and her Mom’s trunk (summer of 1983)! GREER will be a camper soon.
amazing creature. It reminded me of
my fondest personal memory of TEX
as “Dr. Schwartz.” I think this is where
I obtained my “I can do it” attitude.
I was a counselor on duty the night
Dr. Schwartz came to girl’s campfire.
I am deathly afraid of snakes, but that
simply was not an option that night.
We assisted Dr. Schwartz with his
mailbags full of creepy crawly creatures. I did it, and I survived. No, I do
not seek out snakes, but I know, if I
need to, I can. Many experiences at
camp taught me the “if I need to, I can
lesson” and duct tape fixes everything!
The fundamental ideas that TEX
and PAT founded CLH on are still alive
and well today because many individuals like me have come full circle. In
fact, CLH is one big circle - there is no
break in the CLH tradition. When
counselors “retire,” they pass the torch
to the next “generation” of counselors
who were most likely campers and
have the CLH spirit deep in their soul.
If you were not a camper, you certainly
learn quickly that the spirit is contagious beyond your wildest expectations.
I love and cherish that I can share
and relate to GEORGIA’s first year experiences, and I am looking forward
to reminiscing with her, as well as
GREER, year after year until it is my
grandchild’s turn to be a first year
camper. Therefore, the truth about
TEX is that today TEX is bigger than
any person is, and his work has gone
on longer than any of us have lived and
will live. It is important for all of us
present and past to hold the privileges
and traditions of Camp Longhorn sacred.
I cannot begin to thank my parents
enough for making the all-important
decision to send me to Camp Longhorn and hope my girls will feel the
same. Thank you TEX & PAT and
thank you to the ROBERTSON family, the FRADY family, and all campers, counselors and staff who have
passed through the famous gate to
help keep the integrity that was
founded 74 years ago!!!
We thank you, KRISTIN URBAN

story full of sooo many memories . .

The #1 Reason We Love Camp Longhorn . . In 35 Different Ways
A BLAST FROM THE PAST . . .
By AMANDA BARRINGER
and AMY LAMBERT LEE
Remember the time?
Remember the place?
Remember the name?
Remember the face?
(Answers on another page)
As CLH alums, I’m sure we have
all attempted and failed in describing what CLH has contributed to our
lives and the types of people CLH
campers turn out to be. It’s not just
a place, but a total experience that is
hard to translate into words.
AMANDA and I thought it would
be fun to hear from as broad a range
of alums as we could muster. So here
are some thoughts from Inks Lake
and Indian Springs Alums spanning
from 1951 to 2011. That’s 60 years
worth!! A big thanks to all who participated!

I . Loved silly, old-fashioned fun
with great ftiends was encouraged!
Too many to have a #1!!! Special
that 2 of our kids are old enough to
attend and share in the fun, friendships and memories! It’s the same
as when we attended. -MELINDA
GEORGE TUCKER, IndianSprings
’81’95
2. My #1 reason I love CLH ...
friendships and life lessons learned!
Wish I could go back to those days!!!
I also love meeting people now that
went to CLH. It is always an instant
bond. - JANA COX CHESTER, Indian Springs ’85-’93
3 . It is hard to pick just one but I
would say I loved the feeling of independence from my family while
still being safe, surrounded by great
friends from all over the country
while learning new skills
(rappelling!)l would never have
found at home in Tyler, Texas. SHANNON PHILLIPS MERONEY,
Inks Lake ’80-’88
4. #I reason - the amazing longterm friendships that were made over
the years and the constant connection to my CLH friends. - RENEE
HARVEY, Indian Springs 19811994
5. The thing I love most about
camp? Simply put, the people. What
a cross section of rogues, scholars
and great kids. The opportunity to
meet TEX was a life changing experience. NAN and BOBBY where the
best! My best friends are all camp
people. I loved them all, they taught
me so much and I miss my time with
the counselors every day. One last
staff meeting with the old gang
would be heaven! PRESTON
BROWN, Indian Springs ’79-’97
6. I love the life-long bond I made
with friends who call that place
among the hills and dales the greatest place on earth! For me, it was
the friends and relationships - the
blob, marinas, and all the other fun
activities were just bonus! ALEXIS
BECK WAGGONER, Indian
Springs Camper 85, 86, 88, and
counselor 89, and 90 and parent of
campers 2010, 11, and 12!
7. Hmmm, the # 1 reason I love
CLH is hard because there are so
many reasons. I will have to say the
super positive atmosphere of CLH
really boosted my confidence as a
camper and as a counselor. The values I learned at camp truly helped
shape me into person I am today.
AMY CLOWE TRAUGHBER, Inks
Lake’82-’95
8. It was going all out to give the
kids a show. Frog day, and getting
beat to hell skiing behind a horse at
the hoss show. Wanted to go out and
do things that the kids thought was
awesome and would remember about
their camp experience. Oh and the
chicken fried steak, Jet Ski in upper
lake, pretty sure it will never be done
again. JEFF STOKES, Indian
Springs 96 thru 00, 04, 09
9. #1 reason? All the friends that
I never would have met had I not attended CLH. I can go to just about
any city in TX & find a CLH friend.
ADAM SIMMONS, Indian Springs
90’s-00’s
10. I guess the reason that I love
camp is all of the ‘inside’ terminology that no one except people that
went to camp understand (i.e. library)
and the term Attawaytogo. Also, the
fact that there is no way to convey to
other people how truly special CLH
really is. I seriously feel like I know
anyone that has a CLH shirt on and
feel like giving the Attawaytogo sign
to any car I see with a CLH sticker.

11. Camp Longhorn is and was
the first social network I have been a
part of. Almost everywhere I go, I
meet someone who attended camp or
knows someone who attended camp.
I owe a lot to BOBBY and NAN
MANNING for molding me into the
person I am today. I have met a lot of
my life long friends at Camp Longhorn. These things alone are Priceless!! BEN GEORGE, Indian
Springs ’80s-’90s
12. Oh gosh I loved CLH for so
many reasons! Looking back on it if
I had to pick one it would be flying
through the air as yet another one of
my friends jumps on board the blob
(with baby oil of course)! Desperately
trying to stay on as long as possible
and not slide off the side into the lake.
Those are some of the happiest memories I have as a kid! ALEXANDRA
NORRIS, Inks Lake ’90s
13. Well, that is a hard questions
there are about a million reasons why
I loved it but my number one reason
would be because it is the one place
where you can go and just be a kid.
It does not matter if you are 10 or 21
when you get there it is like walking
into a different world, there are no
cell phones, computers or any day to
day worries. Your biggest worry
while at CLH is did I pack enough
swimsuits to last me three weeks!!
LINDSEY DUNCAN PIKE, Indian
Springs,’95-’06
14. Because everybody is somebody at Camp Longhorn! MOLLY
QUIRK, Indian Springs ’83-’97
15. The number one reason I loved
CLH ... easy, the people and friendships. And of course a close second
is the blob... JANE ANNE VAUGHN,
Inks Lake ‘80’s-’90’s
16. 1 was a camper for 9 years and
a counselor for 4 years and treasured
every year. When I think back about
why camp was so fun, the one thing
that sticks in my mind are lasting
friendships. SARAH GEORGE
BRANUM, Indian Springs, ’89-’02
17. At camp I felt I could be the
person I wanted to be. SCOTT
CHICK, Indian Springs ’93, 95, 96,
97, 98, 00, 01, 02, 04
18. #1 reason I love CLH: the culture of friendship, independence and
FUN it created for me during my very
formative childhood years can never
be replaced. LYNETTE NEIDERT
DARBY, Indian Springs ‘81 -’89
19. It’s really hard to narrow down
the reasons I love CLH to just, one!
But if I have to pick my #1 reason why
I love Camp Longhorn it is: my time
at Camp Longhorn was the most FUN
I ever had in the summers growing up,
day in and day out, every session!
BROOKE WILLIAMS SCHULTZ, Indian Springs ’86-’97.
20. CLH spirit and attitude that
stays with you forever. LACY HAWN
SCHULTZ, Inks Lake ’80-’93
21. I loved camp most for the lasting friendships: especially my
cabimnates who were like my sisters.
I’m still close with SHARON VOLTZ
ADELMAN, SUSAN STRIPLING
EDWARDS, ANNE PICKLE,
LAURA WILLIAMS BELL, (and sister LEAH), MARIA SHEPPARD
WALKER,
AMY
MIRACLE
TURBOFF (and her sisters ELISE &
HOLLY), MICHELLE WILLEY,
D’ANN MABRY SHIPPY, all the
BAUKNIGHTS, BETH MONETTE
HAIRSTON and more from 2nd term.
I had close college friends who were
at UT as well: JENNIFER
GREENWAY, and BETH STEPHENS.
I am thankful for my cousin JILL
LEIFESTE BAYS who started at
Longhorn a few years ahead of me, and
she is the reason my parents sent me
to Longhorn! Looking back, I appreciate NAN, BOBBU and the entire Indian Springs staff—it took such hard
work and passion to build a camp that
is beloved and endures. CATHY
McECHERN, Indian Springs ’78-’87.
22. #1 reason, among all of the great
reasons. Hmmm. It was the greatest
place on the planet to go every summer to build the best of times with the
best of people, wrapped around timeless traditions you can find nowhere
else. BRAD CLOWE, Inks Lake ’80s’90s
23. The #1 reason I love camp?
That’s an impossible-question. We’ve
all tried & failed miserably to explain
the magic of Camp Longhorn to those
who have never been fortunate enough
to experience it. It’s just CAMP. A
wonderful slice of heaven on earth
where the outside world falls away &
Burnet, Texas becomes the center of
the universe for a few amazing weeks
each summer. Almost 25 years after
my last summer there, there are still
things that can take me right back the sound of sprinklers, hearing Taps,
the smell of bacon or Tang, and of
course a conversation with a camp
friend. I know I’m beyond blessed to
have been a part of it for as long as I
was. I went 10 summers - - skipping a
couple - between 1978 - 1989. Can
you believe that this summer my
daughter - after nine years as a camper
will be a counselor?? The cycle continues!!
KAREN GREEN
PIRINELLI, Indian Springs ’78-’89
24. Tough question ... what do I
love the most about CLH. Camp has a
certain magic that makes you optimistic about everything. There is a special blend of friends, activities, nature,
oh and apple crisp, that must create
this magic. I remember some specific
stories from camp but mostly, I recall
the friends and how camp made me
feel. AMY SCOTT FORTENBERRY,
Indian Springs, ’76-’90
25. The number one thing I love
about CLH are the friendships I made.
Growing up in a small town, I did not
know anyone when I went to camp. I
AMANDA BARRINGER (l) and AMY LAMBERT LEE
loved getting to know ftiends from all
over the state and beyond and looked
forward to seeing my camp friends every summer. It was really fun getting
to reunite with so many camp friends
when I went to UT; it made a large
campus seem familiar. Now that I have
kids attending CLH, I get to see old
camp friends at Carnival and V-Day.
CLH is such a special bond that creates lifelong relationships; I am so
blessed to have grown up going to
camp
there!
COURTNEY
HAMILTON HUTCHESON, camper
’81 -’86, counselor ’88, ’89 & ’92.
26. I would say the variety of stuff
to do. TIFFANY HUCKABAY
WRIGHT, Indian Springs ’84-’91
27. My reason was the “spirit” of
camp and all the great friends I made
who I still know today! And know both
of my kids can enjoy the “spirit” and
adventure of camp! STEPHEN
GESELL, Indian Springs
28. Hmmm the number I reason?
It was magical for me! It was where I
wanted to be 11 months of the year!
BROOKS BELL MARYE - Indian
Springs, ’79-’88
29. Being from a small town, I enjoyed the exposure to wonderful people
across the state, like Odessa, and the
life-long friendships made. It truly was
my summer “home” and CLH still to
this day holds a very dear place in my
heart. THURE CANNON, Indian
Springs ’80-’91
30. I loved going to camp when I
was a kid, but didn’t really get the
whole of camp until I sent my children
and saw how much they grew and how
much they learned from Camp.
CELESTE CASON BARRINGER,
Inks Lake, ’64-’67
31. What I love about camp was
the various activities that I was exposed
to and the time that I spent with new
people. WILLIAM PETERSON, Inks
Lake, ‘51 -’58
32. I loved the new things you
learned to do that you could never experience at home; like canoe, riflery,
and mile swim, as well as the friends
you would meet. TRIGG DAVISON
YERBY, Inks Lake ’53-’62
33. From the great atmosphere and
friendly people to the unlimited activities available, there are too many reasons to choose from! CAITLIN
BARRINGER, Indian Springs ’98-’l1
34. Some of my very best friends
are CLH people who I didn’t even
know at camp. The caliber of people
that is grown over a few short weeks
year after year is incredible and it
builds a bond that runs thicker than
blood! AMY LAMBERT LEE, Indian Springs ’82-’94
35. Camp is not only a tradition
for my immediate family but my extended family as well. With the third
generation of CLH’ers currently at
camp from my family, it is such an
awesome thing to watch and hear
these kids experience the same exciting and special things at camp and
learning the values I carry to this day
being molded in to their being.

Springs, ‘91 - ’04 Indian Springs

What Camp Longhorn Means To Me . . A Changing View
By RYAN MATTHEWS
When HELEN asked me to write
something for LUMNews I hesitated
at first, but her insistence that I would
do a great job with it convinced me.
All that was left was figuring out
what to actually write. After the
deadline she had asked me to get my
piece to her by passed, I figured that
I would just sit down and try to write
out what Camp meant to me.
To start with, the significance and
meaning of Camp Longhorn has definitely changed for me over the years.
I started out as a Rattlesnake at Indian Springs and my first four years
camp was really just all about having fun. It was a place to go for three
weeks (I was a third termer (3 is 1))
to get away from parents and avoid
what seemed like any adult supervision.
I remember my counselors more
as big brothers teaching you what you
can do at camp and how to have the
most fun. Certainly it was great to
see friends every year, but camp for
me meant Blobbing and Trollying
and unfortunately at the time Mile
Swimming (I was a soccer player and
more comfortable running and could
have run a mile in a quarter of the
time it took me to swim it). All of
this changed after my Jackrabbit year.
The school year after that year
was not a good one for me. I
struggled with teachers I didn’t like
and a child’s annoyance with school
and ended up with as more C’s and
D’s than A’s and B’s. At the end of
the school year I was just glad it was
over and was ready to go to camp.
That was when my parents sat me
down and explained that Camp
Longhorn was a privilege and not a
right. It had to be earned and the
way an 11 year-old earned something
was by doing well in school. Since I
most certainly hadn’t done well in
school I missed a year of camp. I
don’t remember the details of that
conversation, but I can remember my
shock at it and the loss I felt that summer. Needless to say, I never
struggled that much at school again.
When I got back to camp after
missing a year, what going to camp
meant to me had evolved. Not only
was I older, but I knew what a summer of your friends enjoying camp
without you was like. I didn’t take it
for granted by thinking it was just
about fun.
I became better friends with my
cabin mates and started appreciating
my counselors and the adults at camp
for providing me to opportunity to
come to this most fun of places. As I
got into my Wrangler and Ranger
years Camp starts giving you actual
responsibilities outside of simply having fun and following the rules. Now
I was one of the “older brothers” that
got to introduce the fun of camp to
the younger campers. I’m not sure
why this meant so much to me, but I
knew that I wanted to come back to
camp as a counselor. Not only to
continue to have fun at CLH, but to
give back in a sense and to follow in
the footsteps of the counselors that I
had looked up to. And again, what
camp meant to me changed and
evolved.
As a counselor the fun and enjoyment you get from a summer at Camp
RYAN MATHEWS
Longhorn is quite a bit different than
being a camper. Instead of having fun
Blobbing and Trollying and the Mile
(I’m not going to lie, I never found
the Mile Swim fun, but did learn to
appreciate what finishing it represents) ... anyway, as a counselor the
fun comes from spending time with
your friends, the fellow counselors,
and working with the kids and seeing
them grow in the short time they are
at camp. For a while I was annoyed
with DAVID for sticking me in Division 1 for so many terms, but it truly
is a joy to be able to teach a Rattlesnake what Camp is.
There comes a certain sense of
pride in watching a group of shy, hesi-
IT’S E-MAIL TIME
4th Wedding
The local news station was
interviewing an 80-year-old lady
because she had just gotten
married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her
questions about her life, about
what it felt like to be marrying
again at 80, and then about her
new husband’s occupation.
“He’s a funeral director,” she
answered. “Interesting,” the
newsman thought. He then
asked her if she wouldn’t mind
telling him a little about her
first three husbands and what
they did for a living.
She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect
on all those years. After a short
time, a smile came to her face
and she answered proudly,
explaining that she had first
married a banker when she was
in her 20’s, then a circus
ringmaster when in her 40’s,
and a preacher when in her 60’s,
and now - in her 80’s - a funeral
director.
The interviewer looked at
her, quite astonished, and asked
why she had married four men
with such diverse careers. She
smiled and explained, “I
married One for the money, Two
for the show, Three to get ready,
And four to go.”
tant 8 year-olds grow together as a
cabin through the term and after 2 or
3 weeks watching them march their
parents around camp like they owned
the place. Through my years as a
counselor I grew as a person and
leader and was honored to be asked
to join Staff. All of this meant significantly more to me than what having fun had. Camp had become more
than just a place to go to have fun
during the summer, it had become
part of who I was. It felt like home
and everyone at camp was family.
Unfortunately, there are only so
many years that I had my summers
free to spend at camp and now that I
no longer get to enjoy summers at
Indian Springs camp’s meaning has
again evolved.
As I sit typing this and reflecting
on my years at Camp I can realize the
impact my summers here had on my
life outside of camp. I have made
friends that I truly care about and
gained experiences that helped me get
to where I am. I had the opportunity
to work with men that I look up to in
DAVID and BOBBY and DON and
learn about leadership and management and how to be a better person
from them. I am in a better position to
be successful in my life because of my
time at Camp Longhorn and that
means the world to me.
Man. Camp is a learning experience
and you tell about this in your story!
Camp is all about having fun and at
the same time teaching great lessons
of how to get along with one another,
friendships, happiness and responsibilities. RYAN was raised in Houston and lives there now. He was a
camper for 8 years and counselor 7
years at Indian Springs. He was a
Campfire Lighter as a Camper and
as a Counselor was a Division Head,
Activities Director and voted Favorite Counselor. RYAN is a graduate
of.Rockhurst University. Thank you
again, RYAN, for your true story.
Your thoughts and memories are sooo
RYAN MATHEWS, love your story!. enjoyable to read. WE APPRECIATE
From Rattlesnake through your coun- YOU and we hope to see you at

Attawaytobe At Camp . . . It’s As
Much A State Of Mind As A Place
By KATHARINE BAYER
There are certain amazing things
about camp that one only can value
in recollection; there are the tangible
and incredibly significant life-long
friendships that grow from camp
bonds, and then there are the gifts that
become part of your everyday that you
received from camp without even being aware.
The Wheel of Fortune, not the long
run syndicated television game show,
but the Camp Longhorn Carnival
Night game where campers line up
to eagerly await the spin and win, is
a metaphor for this gift. For most
this game may seem a standard carnival ride, but there are nuances in
every bit of camp; this we all know.
With such options as, “Marry the Person Behind You,” or “Dance for a
Prize,” appearing as wedges in the
wheel’s pie, the spinner has no other
destiny than what the spin of the
wheel decides.
What’s important here is not the
actual fortune—though I know of no
other place where anyone and everyone can be joined in the bonds of holy
macaroni - what’s important is the
moment where a camper spins and
lets go of control. It’s that instance
when fear and insecurities have no
place, where the pressure to be good
or successful isn’t an option. The gift
is the moment, the moment that happens over and over, day and night, at
camp. The moment that provides the
rare opportunity to be present in
something that is simply unpredictable. They are contagious, these
moments that are selfless and full of
possibility, and they spread through
camp like no other place.
The wheel asks participants to join
in the fun, be a part of the Carnival,
the ride, the dance of a few summer
weeks spent in utter delight. Campers make the choice to step in line,
but they let camp take the reins and
provide an atmosphere of joy, generosity, camaraderie, energy, enthusiasm and spirit.
The only thing camp requires of
its campers is to be wide-awake, to
be open to trying new things, and to
be thrilled at the idea of taking on a
KATHARINE BAYER
challenge and completing it (can I get
a Mile Swim). This is a skill that I
thank my lucky stars for acquiring at
camp: the extremely valuable ability
to be present in a moment.
In life away from 78611, there are
pressures and structures that demand
attention. The gift of being mindful
and the ability to join the present moment gives my life so much more
meaning and value. Beyond the lifelong friendships, this is the gift that
was shared with me without me even
being aware. This is one of those gifts
that keeps giving. Behind the Wheel
of Fortune, camp teaches us to be comfortable and trust that if one engages
with the present and lets go of all assumptions, that life will be a reward
in itself.
As Alumni, we are so fortunate;
every year we have the opportunity to
spend a day in this world. After a minicamp, the microcosm of CLH seems
so distant from our daily lives one often laments returning to the “real
world.” There is nothing more “real”
than camp. Camp is a place where
reality is saturated with the gift of the
present. Live in the present and just
like at camp, everything will be a celebration.
KATHARINE BAYER, we thank you
for an absolutely wonderful message.
Your story about The Wheel of For-
tune at Camp Longhorn and the way
it relates to everyday life and life at
Camp is so true. Sooo much to think
about in your article! KITTY, as we
call her at camp was raised in Austin
and lives there now! She is an architectural and graphic designer,
teacher and artist! She was a camper
for 6 years and a counselor for 10
years and is an all-time favorite at
Camp
Longhorn
Indian
Springs.KITTY takes special pride in
Birdie, her rescue labrador retriever.
As a camper she was Favorite Marina ‘96, Campfire Lighter and Favorite Counselor ‘04. As a counselor, among KITTY’s many responsibilities was QUEEN FLUSH,
funtastics, ropes, swimhorray(bay),
hoss & more. She graduated from
New York University & University of
Illinois. We love KATHERINE KITTY
BAYER and KITTY loves camp. A
wonderful and loyal CLASP Member,
we thank you again for your special
message.

CAMP LONGHORN IS
MUSIC TO MY EARS . . .
It’s July 1963, just after Chow Hall time on a warm, sunny afternoon. I am a Cabin 5 Badger walking by the Canoe Bay headed in
the direction of Cabin 4. Coming through the loud speakers that cover
the Boys Camp, “Talk To Me” by Sunny and the Sunglows is playing.
I really don’t think anything of it. It’s Rest Period, and music is
always playing at that time of day.
But as I look back on it now 50 years later, I realize how much I
loved that music at Rest Period and how popular music permeated so
much of our camp experience, whether it was tunes spun by the likes
of Jumpin’Joe from the Ramble Hut after lunch, songs that woke us
up every morning or the records like ‘Sweet Pea” and “Hanky Panky”
played on Dance Night each Thursday.
Who could forget being greeted at 7 a.m. each day with songs like
“Ahab The Arab”, “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The
Bed Post Over Night,” “Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport” or “Hello
Mudduh, Hello Fadduh”? Those last two actually made their debuts
in 1963, and “Tie Me Kangaroo” is still the official wakeup tune at
Inks Lake Mini-Camp each year. And given all the scratches that
come across the speaker system Robby probably is playing the original 45 from 50 years ago.
Songs also filled the air each Sunday on Church Mountain, songs
like “Sinner Man” and “Cum By Ya.” Let’s also not forget the best of
them all, the Camp Longhorn song. I still know every word and sing
it occasionally! And when each day was done and the campfire was
burning low, singing “Taps” was the way we all said ‘“Good Night”
to each other.
I love music, and I love Camp Longhorn, and when I hear songs
that were played while I was at Camp in the 60’s, it takes me back to
those lazy (although they were full of activities!) days of summer in
the hills and dales of the Hill Country.
So in celebration of music and our camp, I thought I’d take at least
some of you back to the summer of 1963 - 50 years ago this summer with a list of the #1 songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 and
played throughout that summer at the greatest Camp on Earth!,

Ingram STAR Power Extends To His Home Life
A cute article and picture we found
on the Internet about JACK
INGRAM and his Star Reward System he uses with his kids! It’s about
merits and de-merits only he calls
them Stars!
If one of his children does something that deserves a reward he gives
them a Star and if they do something
that he deems negative behavior, then
a Star is taken from the child.
He keeps track of the count on his
Blackberry because it was extremely
hard and confusing to give Stars away
from home and his count was at home
on the frig!
So, when the kids accumulate 20
stars, they get a special treat! Does
all of this sound familiar? Just a name
change!

Congratulations to PAM FRADY
ALDEN,
the
newest
ATTAWAYTOGO recipient. She is
so deserving of an award named
ATTAWAYTOGO because of her
many years of love and devotion to
Camp Longhorn. PAM grew up at
Camp Longhorn, coming each summer from the time she was a baby
with parents RAY and HELEN
FRADY (Directors). PAM was a
Wren in 1968, and came back 16
more summers at Inks Lake. As a
camper she was a many time Campfire Lighter and Little Bonnet Princess.
It was her years as a counselor that
made a huge difference in the lives
of the many campers through the
years. PAM was a counselor an
amazing 24 terms with most of it
spent as a loving WREN! She was
voted favorite counselor and spent
the last few years not only as a counselor, but also activity director. When
looking for the ideal counselor for
Camp Longhorn, PAM FRADY
ALDEN is an ideal example. She
was always a wonderful role model
for the campers and counselors and
her hard work and dedication
through the years is unmatched.
After her years at CLH, Pam
raised 3 children and Camp Longhorn has been a big part of their lives
as well. JONATHAN, 25, spent 8
years as a camper and 1 year as a
counselor. NICK, 22, was a camper
9 years and has spent the last 5 summers as a counselor and LINDSAY,
21, was a camper for 9 summers and
will be starting her 5th year as a
counselor.
PAM started her lst Grade teaching career after the children were

With PAM in the back are (l-r) NICK, LINDSAY & JONATHAN ALDEN
older in Westlake Hills, Austin. A
former member of the Junior League
of Austin and National Charity
League, PAM has spent many, many
hours volunteering . . when the kids
were younger, room mom, team mom
and then Project Graduations at
Westlake. She has worked many
hours at the Ronald McDonald House
volunteering and spends time with
Mobile Loaves. PAM is into her
fourth year of teaching that takes up
her days and when not in the classroom she can be seen at dancing recitals, athletic events, etc . . . those
functions her lst Graders are involved
in!
PAM is excited about a two week PAM FRADY ALDEN . .
mission trip she will be taking in July Little Bonnett Princess 1969
to Gaba, Uganda to work with children from an orphanage and with
teachers in the local school.
ATTAWAYTOGO PAM FRADY
ALDEN!
At our Campference a few weeks
back
some wonderful speakers were
ATTAWAYTORACE!
on hand to enlighten Camp Directors on many special topics. Two of
the Keynote Speakers were former
CLH Exes with some great entertainment to keep their audience in
“stitches”! Both have written books
and both have interesting backgrounds . leading up to writing their
books!
THE GREAT RACE! . . .
On the weekend of April 12-13 Burnet’s Bluebonnet Festival
took place and our DAVID BENNETT was the organizer. What a
great two days for Burnet with, probably 40,000 people in and
out of town. The two day event included a marvelous air show,
parades, vendors, lots of good, gooey food and fun races! This
particular race is call the dog house race! It’s to the end of the
block and back! And, what fun for everyone! I believe this Camp
Longhorn team received runner-up honors!! ATTAWAYTOGO
RACERS! JOB WELL DONE, DAVID! (l-r) AUSTIN MOORE, STACY
BENNETT, a friend, GRANT JONES, DAVID BENNETT and
LINDSAY ALDEN.

CHRISTINE JOHNSTON WARREN. . .
Her very successful book
“PADDLEFISH” is a nonfiction account of training and racing in the
2010 Texas Water Safari, a 260-mile
paddling race from Central Texas to
the Gulf Coast. She shares all the
raw grit, hilarity and emotion of life
as a complete novice paddler in “The
World’s Toughest Race.”
She left corporate life fourteen
years ago in favor of writing, public
speaking and being a homeroom
mom. In 2007 she started blogging
about her passion, fly-fishing, and
before long readers were tuning in
regularly to read her stories and share
their own.
This fishing crowd introduced her
to the Texas Water Safari Race and a
publisher offered her a book deal to
write about her experience as a novice paddler. Her book was first pub-
CHRISTINE JOHNSTON WARREN
lished and released Fall of 2011! And,
a great book it is, so funny and entertaining “PADDLEFISH” can be purchased in bookstores for $24.95.
KAY WILLS WYMA . .
What a great book “CLEANING
HOUSE” is! And such an original!
She has five kids, ages four to fourteen and one SUV with a lot of carpool
miles! Before transitioning to stay-athome mom, she held positions at the
White House, the Staubach Company
and Bank of America.
This book is about a mom’s twelvemonth experiment to rid her home of
KAY WILLS WYMA
youth entitlement! It’s her account
of the year-long campaign to introduce her five kids to basic life skills
and the ways meaningful work can
increase earned self-confidence and
concern for others!
With great humor, she candidly
details the ups and downs of equipping her kids for such tasks as making beds, refinishing a desk chair, and
working together. The changes that
take place in her household will inspire you to launch your own campaign to disolve your kids from the
center of their universe! A wonderful paperback, “CLEANING
HOUSE” is top-notch reading!
