SAMANTHA HOLMAN (l) and KATHRYN LIND ANDREWS
What an honor and privi-lege to introduce SAMANTHA HOLMAN from Dallas and KATHRYN LIND ANDREWS from Keller as our newest ATT-AWAYTOGO recipients! These two young ladies have spent countless hours helping Camp Longhorn Inks Lake in so many ways for so many years there is not enough room to list all of their many contributions through the years.
They come every V-Day weekend to help ... no pay, just because they love CLH. They do most all of the interviews in the Girls Camp and Boys Camp, too, at the end of each term! And, it’s the little odd jobs they take on as the camps are getting ready for another term! The jobs are never too small or too big for them.
They frequently take on the CLASP (Camp Longhorn Alum-ni and Special Parents) duties at the large Camp Carnivals, running the important “sign-up” tables and collecting dues ..
KATHRYN was a camper 3rd Term 1975-1983 and spent one term as a counselor in 1984 and SAMANTHA was a camper 3rd Term 1975-1982. And, Alumni Camps they have attended are just too many to count! KATH-RYN has many honors at Camp .. 1976 Little Bonnet Favorite, many, many times a Campfi re Lighter and many swimming medals won at the Siesta Swim meets at Camp. She also has several Activity Awards through her many years as a Camper.
SAMANTHA, too, had an active Camper life! She was “Name tha Counselor” Winner 1977, Big Bonnet Favorite, 1978, Campfi re Lighter many times, Regatta Division Winner, Top Five Mile Swimmer and on and on! She was a counselor in 1986 and 1987 and loved her duties as a Division Head in the
TWO SPECIAL TREES FOR TWO SPECIAL ALUMNI!

These are the wise words of my 9-year-old daughter. When I was asked to write this article for LUMNEWS, my daughter, BROOKLYN, asked me what I was going to write about. I told her I wasn’t sure. She said ohhh, I know, “Jump on the Blob. Have fun. The End.” Somehow, that wasn’t the end. I hope this family camp legacy will go on for years to come.
My camp history started back in 1955 on Inks Lake. My mother, TERRIE HAMBLEN BURSIEL and her cousin JOHANNA SMITH, went to camp for the fi rst time. In those days camp was 4 weeks of water sports, horses and frisbees (no Blob, yet). One of her favorite memories includ-ed being greeted by BILL and MF JOHNSON as she arrived at camp and being wrapped in their arms as they lovingly welcomed each camper back, or welcomed them to camp for the fi rst time.
Fast forward to 30 years, when my sister fi rst attended Camp Longhorn as a Pony. Four years later in 1989 on the 50th anniversary of Indian Springs, I attended my fi rst year as a Rattlesnake. My fi rst year at camp was a fi rst of many for me as a camper. It was the fi rst time to spend that amount of time away from my parents, it was the fi rst time to swim a mile, getting Campfi re lighter on the fi rst day, and being the fi rst to “break in” the Ranger program.
As a fi rst-year Rattlesnake, one the fi rst, and most comfort-ing, things I remember is NAN MANNING meeting me and giving me one of the biggest hugs, and welcoming me to camp. That was when I knew I was a member of the Camp Longhorn family. Laying in my bunk at quiet time, eating chow, or simply jumping on the Blob, I never dreamed that 28 years later, I would be getting my daughter ready for her sec-ond year at Camp longhorn.
In my 9 years as a camper, there are so many wonderful memories. From friends to inspections, to quiet time, to wonderful counselors, to end-less activities, to the blob. All of this started in the chow hall on visitor’s day in 1988, when SALLY gave me my camp in-terview. Then to see my daugh-ter having her camp interview sitting almost in the same spot in the chow hall, overlooking Indian Spings brought back so many memories.
On the car ride home from her camp visit and interview, all she could talk about was go-ing to camp and how much fun it would be. That evening after
Jump on the Blob, have fun, the end

dinner, she pulled out my camp annuals, and started fl ipping through them. I asked her what she was doing and she simply responded, “I’m looking at all the fun you had at camp.”
Now, she looks at my annuals to see who is still there compared to hers and she looks at hers to remember how much fun she had her fi rst year. She can’t wait to go back!!
In this small world, you never know whose path you are going to cross, a few years after starting camp, my family moved to Wimberley, Texas. Soon we crossed paths with BILL and MF. Twenty-three years later, even though BILL is no longer with us, MF is still a shining face that occasionally steps though my of-fi ce door to catch up on the local Wimberley politics, and share stories from our time at camp, as she has done for 17 years.
We never know where the paths we take will lead us. I am so glad for the path my mother’s parents took in sending her to camp in 1955. I am happy that my parents went down that same path to send me to Camp Long-horn. It’s amazing to me, to go back and see camp today. To see so many familiar faces from the past, that are still there today.
When mom goes to V-Day she still sees so many familiar faces from her time at camp. Camp Longhorn is truly a family, in ev-ery sense of the word. I love sit-ting down with my daughter and hearing the stories she tells of camp. The story of her favorite activity, Blob of course, whose wasn’t? We even talk about our least favorite activity. Mine was Pickleball. She loved it. I can see why as somehow there were marshmallows involved. Spend-ing this time with her talking about her memories of her fi rst year at camp, gives me the same time to think back over my years there and to relive my memories. Over the years many things have changed, but more importantly many more things have stayed the same.
Even though the times have changed, activities have changed, the memories and the
stories have all stayed the same. We will never forget the caring faces of our camp directors, or the nightly campfi re skits, church mountain and even the apple crisp at chow. The mem-ories made at camp will last a lifetime, as will the legacy of Camp Longhorn.
So, in the words of my daugh-ter, BROOKLYN, “Jump on the Blob. Have Fun. The End.”
Thanks, MARK BURSIEL, for such an interesting writing! And, thank you TERRIE HAM-BLEN BURSIEL and JOHANNA SMITH for your camping days and encouraging MARK to attend. Very little has changed. A visit between TERRIE and your daughter BROOKLYN is prob-ably about the same as a visit between you and your daughter. And, what a great focus point . . The BLOB! MARK was a camp-er for 9 years at Indian Springs. His early years were in Conroe, TX with the family moving to Wimberley a few years after he started camp. MARK, a Real Estate Agent for Century 21 and wife KAREE a teacher, have two children BROOKLYN (9) and 2017 will be her 2nd year at In-dian Springs and HUNTER (5), a future Rattlesnake at Indian Springs. MARK was a top 5 mile swimmer · twice, a big Stock-holder and a Campfi re Lighter twice. He graduated from Texas State (Southwest Texas) in 2004. - We thank you again, MARK BURSIEL, for taking time from a busy schedule to jot down those great memories you write about! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

This past summer during third term, my wife, SHANNON ELLIOTT HARVEY, and I were out at dinner with Camp friends JEREMY WILHELMI and BETH McBRIDE WILHELMI since our two kids and their three kids were at Camp. During din-ner, SHANNON’s phone rang. Since the caller ID indicated the call was from Burnet, SHAN-NON answered in case there was an emergency. Fortunately, it was not the Pit Stop, but rather it was HELEN. HELEN fi rst confi rmed that SHANNON had already written an article for the LUMNews, and then she asked me if I would be willing to write an article. I am not sure if anyone has ever refused HELEN, but I certainly did not plan on being the fi rst.
As I pondered what to write for my article, I considered writ-ing about the relationships forged at Camp, Camp experiences that remain applicable to everyday life, or how we can strive to meet Camp ideals to improve everyday life. These are all excel-lent themes that have received outstanding treatment in these very pages, but I wanted to write something a little different.
Now, I spent 15 summers at Ranch Branch/Ranch Camp Longhorn/Camp Longhorn - Indian Springs which puts me squarely in second place at my house behind SHANNON’s 17 summers (though I do like to point out that my 26 terms eclipse her total number of terms), and so we often run into other CLH alums, and, judging by carnivals, V-Days, and bus drop-offs, it seems like all of them are sending new legacies to Camp every year.
As a long time camper and counselor, someone who is married to an even longer time camper and counselor, and a parent to a son who started as a Rattlesnake and daughter who started as a Pony, I think I am qualifi ed to offer some advice to those former campers and coun-selors who are about to send their kids off to Camp.
1. Your kids are in good hands, and they are going to have fun. When your fi rst camper gets on the bus for the fi rst time, you are going wonder what you were thinking shipping your precious child off to Burnet. Just remem-ber how much fun you had, and how happy you were to be there, and then rush home to continual-ly refresh the CLH Website until the Day 1 cabin pictures have been posted. After the fi rst couple of years you will get used to it, and when all of your kids are there at the same time, you are going to think, “Wow, the house is really quiet, and what am I go-
Here’s my advice to the parents of the new Legacies
JASON HARVEY
ing to do with all of this time.”
2. You are going to get far fewer letters than you think you should, and, especially if you have a boy, you might only get the letter that his counselor told him he had to write if he wanted to eat chow. Our son’s fi rst year, we did not get a letter until the end of the second week, and I had to call my mother and tell her that her grandson was paying me back for all the letters that I did not write her. Your only real option here is to pay your camper a set amount per letter received, but even that is not all that effective. You are just going to have to settle for the pictures posted on the CLH Website when it is your camper’s cabin’s turn to be featured on the Web site which will be every fourth of fi fth day. But, look on the bright side, your parents didn’t get any letters, and they did not get to see any pictures. They had to wait until V-Day to see your smiling face.
3. Once V-Day fi nally arrives,
you might even get up very early and fi nd yourself toward the front of a long line of cars. It is the same line of cars that used to make you wonder as a counselor, “Why would anyone get up so early just to wait in a line in a car for three hours.”
4. On V-Day, let your camper lead you to show you around camp. You know, or rather knew, Camp like the back of your hand, but archery has moved three times since you last drew a bow, and, even if it is in the same place as when you were last there, there is a fancy new concrete walkway that takes you a different way to get you there. So, when your Rattlesnake starts walking to the Water Park di-rectly from Boys’ Camp instead of all the way around the Upper Lake Darn, don’t tell him he is going the wrong way.
Once your camper gets back home, and as you start to talk about more Camp things with
your new campers, you will fi nd that there are other differences from when you were at Camp and how Camp is now. You will fi nd out that the older campers go to chow fi rst for every meal, and the younger campers only go fi rst on Backwards Day instead of the other way around. You will learn things like campers get a list of counselor names for Name Tha instead of having to come up with them on their own, and you fi nd out that no matter how many emails you send, SUSAN WILHELMI will not send you your camper’s Name Tha test.
You will also fi nd out that the Horntoad Cabin no longer exists, and even though you were his Horntoad counselor, and even though you remind him every V-Day, and even though he graciously plays along, MARK MANNING is not bringing the Horntoad Cabin back.
At some point, you will also learn that your campers will begin to roll their eyes when you tell them how things were when you were at Camp, but that is okay, keep telling them because
it keeps them and you talking about Camp, and everyone gets to enjoy the conversation be-cause the most important thing that you will learn is that you and your campers now have an amazing Camp Longhorn con-nection, and even though there are changes at Camp that had to be made whether due to growth in Camp size, or general prog-ress, or someone just came up with a better idea, you will learn that the essential Camp Long-horn spirit, attitude, and ideals that led you back to Burnet every summer and have led you to send your children there remain constant and continue to inspire the campers of today.
JASON HARVEY, what a well written and “fun to read” arti-cle! How true this wonderful in-formation is! What great advice to give to those former campers and counselors who are about to send their kids off to Camp! 1) Kids are in good hands and are going to have fun! 2) Fewer letters home will be written than anticipated! 3) V-day fi nds you in a long line of cars 3 hours
early! 4) Let your camper show you around camp even though you already know the way! You and SHANNON spent a total of 32 summers (15 JASON and 17 SHANNON) at camp and your ad-vice is worthy for all newcomers to read! Actually, it’s good read-ing for everyone!! JASON grew up in Wichita Falls. He and wife Indian Springs Alumni SHAN-NON ELLIOTT HARVEY live in Austin with their children ROSS (13) and 2017 will be his 6th year at Indian Springs and ELIZA-BETH (9) and 2017 will be her 3rd year at Indian Springs. JA-SON, a camper 8 years and coun-selor 7 years at Indian Springs is an Attorney and wife SHANNON is a teacher. JASON was a Camp-fi re Lighter 6 times and Name Tha Winner 6 times. Through the years he was a Division Head, Mr. SKI and Horseback Director. JASON graduated from the University of Texas in Austin. We thank you again, JASON, for your writing! What a great story! And, we thank you for taking time from a busy, busy schedule to jot down your thoughts and memories! WE AP-PRECIATE YOU!

Life lessons learned at Camp LH
KRISTEN CLARK NIX with her three boys . . RYAN (6) and twins HUNTER and WILLIAM (3)
By KRISTEN CLARK NIX
I can remember coming home in the fall of 3rd grade and telling my parents that I had to go to Camp Longhorn the next sum-mer. Having returned back to school, my best friend, LAUREN CARRIGAN, had quickly sold me on the adventures of her sum-mer on INKS LAKE. My parents were convinced after meeting BILLY ROB at Carnival and before I knew it, I was packing my blue wooden trunk for 2nd TERM of 1991.
We met the camp buses in Houston’s Memorial City Mall parking lot and while my par-ents were becoming emotional, I couldn’t wait for my adventure to begin.
I remember instantly feel-ing like a Longhorn girl as I stepped off the bus and they announced I was a Canary. I’ll never forget the special friends and counselors who took me under their wing ... and whom I wanted to be just like .... MEG JONES and GREER TERRY who always had a smile on their faces. LYLE FOSTER- so fun and funny. SARAH BROWN and LINDSAY GREEN, who were older and introduced me to their friends, thank you. CHRISTINE MOORE, who welcomed me as her camper my fi rst year and now our children attend the same school in Austin.
Camp was magical, like a vacation from real life. Thinking back on this time, I realize that over a few short weeks, camp traditions and life lessons were subconsciously ingrained in our minds to help us through our adulthood.
Five things I learned at Camp Longhorn include:
1. Seize the Day- Camp was like one three-week long play date. We were kept active and entertained. in a causal authentic way. It was amazing we could complete ten activities, three meals and still have time for teth-er ball and Camp Fire. No empty hours to complain of boredom or to stare at the television. Activi-ty! Each day beginning with an-nouncements on the loud speaker and closing peacefully singing taps. It’s a wonder I never joined the military because to this day, I still crave a schedule.
2. Resiliency- The kind of encouragement and nurture we received at camp made it a great environment to endure setbacks, try new things, and see that im-provement comes when you give something another try. Sailing, Blabbing, Archery, Marina Mud, The Mile Swim, Skit Night, dancing with boys at Dance Night.. .trying new things at camp was exciting and made me feel like it was safe to step out of
my comfort zone. I think having successful experiences away from home helped me become more resilient while building my confi dence and identity.
3. Be happy ... and be happy for others -I’ve always thought being happy is a choice. It became contagious, seeing the directors and counselors at camp always encouraging campers with positive and outgoing attitudes. Teamwork and friendly competition were part of what made camp’s close-knit commu-nity special. Grudges weren’t held for the camper chosen as Camp Fire Lighter or the winner of Queen and King at Carnival as we really celebrated other campers successes ... because everybody REALLY was some-body at Camp Longhorn.
4.Try and do what’s right - Camp was a place of struc-ture, values and respect that felt deeply meaningful and comfort-ing. Being a part of long time camp traditions that were started by PAT & TEX was special and nothing could straighten me out like a D-merit.
5. Camp Friendships are unique- During the school year, I exchanged letters with a lot of my cabin mates and friends at camp who lived in other cities. I craved to know, what their lives were like back home and what experiences they were hav-ing. Naturally, we would pick right back up the next summer at camp and I believe being unplugged from gameboys and television at camp allowed us to connect with each other in ways that society doesn’t provide. KELLY WADE, JENNA BUSH, FRASER WOODWARD, DI-
ANE BROUILLARD, MOLLY HOUSER, ASHLEY ANDER-SON, ILLA STEEN, SARITA PITT ... . KELLY WALNE, CRICKET THURBER, WOOD-SON WHITEHEAD, WILL GARWOOD and CAMPBELL FOSTER. ... many of these friends would continue as col-lege friends at The University of Texas.
Time spent at camp felt like a touchstone moment, some-thing that still feels meaningful even after all these years ... and occasionally dreamt about. My husband and INKS 3rd TERM camper, LEE NIX, and I can’t wait for the day we send our three boys off to Camp Long-horn.
KRISTEN CLARK NIX, what a delightful, fun to read writing! Love your “outline” and fi ve things you learned at Camp! . .and a descrip-tion of each are so true and mean-ingful! Camp is magical and as you describe it, a vacation from real life! KRISTEN was a camper for 6 years 2nd Term at Inks Lake, Counselor 1 year and joined us for one mini-camp! She grew up in Houston and now lives in Austin with husband Alumni LEE NIX and their three boys . . RYAN (6) and twins HUNT-ER & WILLIAM (3) .. all future campers .. KRISTEN is already giving the boys a taste of camp by taking them to the Carnivals! She was Senior Bonnet Favorite and Campfi re Lighter as a Camper and now in Austin as a Wife and Mom, she is a Residential Interior Designer. KRISTEN graduated from the University of Texas in Austin in 2004. We thank you, KRISTEN CLARK NIX, for your wonderful writing and we thank you for taking the time from a busy, busy sched-ule to jot down your thoughts and memories!
Camp and the man I am today
Thanks for the memories CLHCHRIS CHORN

Whenever I think back on my time as a camper at Camp Long-horn, the fi rst memories I have are of the activities. That one time I felt like I was above the chow hall after being bounced on the Blob or the fi rst time I mus-tered up the courage to go down the trolley. After really thinking about my experiences at Camp, though, another picture begins to emerge. Camp Longhorn has directly affected the person I am today.
I had the opportunity to attend the Dallas Carnival with my 1 year old daughter LILY this year, and the positive change Camp has on people became evident as I was sitting with TRES CLIN-TON watching him interview prospective new campers. A couple of brothers approached the table, one who had been to camp last year and the other who hadn’t. The boy who had been to camp was full of enthusiastic “yes sir!”s while his brother was struggling, opting for the more timid “yeah”s and “nope”s. I would be willing to bet all of the merits LILY will inherit someday (which admittedly probably isn’t much due to the overpowering allure of a jam box from the merit store when I was a Wran-gler) that that same brother will return to Carnival next year with the same attitude and politeness as his brother who had already attended. It is an incredible trans-formation that lasts long after V-Day has come and gone.
The most important part of Camp Longhorn for me though has to be the relationships. I’ve stayed on countless couches and guest beds of guys I grew up spending a mere 2 weeks with every summer.
We’ve taken trips to the mountains, the beach, and every-where in between. A good friend from Camp even helped me when deciding where to get my MBA and wrote a recommen-
dation on my behalf to his alma mater. While earning that MBA I leaned heavily on DAVID BENNETT for advice not only about business but about life. We probably hadn’t spoken in a couple of years but DAVID had no problem taking the time to answer all of my questions, some deeply personal, even in the midst of starting up C3.
It’s easy for me to look back on my time as a camper and remember jumping on the blob or zipping down the trolley, but whenever I sit down and really refl ect on it, one thing becomes evident: I wouldn’t be the person I am today had I not spent those 2 weeks a year at Camp Long-horn.
Such an interesting writing, CHRIS CHORN. Isn’t it won-derful . the lifetime friendships developed in a short two weeks each summer! I think it’s the love of Camp Longhorn and the people that surround you that kindle these friendships. We are so happy you are introducing Camp Longhorn to your daugh-ter LILY at an early age! (Save those merits she will be getting the next several years!!) And, how precious she is! CHRIS was a camper six years and a coun-selor six or seven years at Indian Springs. He was raised in Tem-ple and now lives in Dallas with
By BRANDON NELMS
I am not really sure where to begin with my memories of Camp Longhorn! Camp is such a special place to me and my family. I have had so many fam-ily members attend camp. My parents, sister, cousins, aunts, uncles .... even my grandpar-ents RUTH and LAWRENCE SKELLEY were counselors. I was able to go to camp the same time that my sister KRIS-TIN NELMS HUBBARD and cousins MIKE BLALOCK and KELLY BLALOCK MORTON were there. Those are some great memories that we will always have.
I remember the days of dropping my sister off at the bus before I was old enough to attend. And once I was old enough I remember the mixed emotions. There was the pure ex-citement of wanting to get there as soon as possible, but also the sadness of leaving my parents for 3 weeks (at least the fi rst few years).
The bus ride seemed to take forever. We could not get there fast enough. Then there was the stop for fried chicken in La Grange along the way. But the candy and comic books made the ride so much better.
I remember secretly hoping that baseball season did not last too long and cut into my time at camp. I remember the unique things that you did at camp like wearing boxers that stuck out below your shorts.
Tether ball .... oh so much tether ball.
I remember being embar-rassed when I was real young when my counselors asked if I took a bm.
I remember saving all my merits and hoping that I would have enough for the Sony Wal-kman.
I remember loving the cook outs and having watermelon fi ghts with the other cabin.
I remember my parents pick-
ing us up on Vday in the boat. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I remember my cousin MIKE BLALOCK drafting myself and JOHN WORTHEN on his base-ball team.
I remember always wanting more bacon at breakfast than they would give me.
I remember the long hot walks up to Church Mountain ... but it was so worth it once you were there.
I still can hear the wake up call. .. rise and shine, be up and about.
I remember my Wrangler year we somehow were able to get a 2 liter bottle of Coke on evening. And the entire next day ROBBY ROB walked around with the steel hook that we used to get it.
But the best thing about Camp Longhorn is the friendships that you establish. You meet so many different people, from different cities, with different interests. But you have the common bond of loving Camp Longhorn. I was lucky enough to attend long enough to get my camp ring. I wore it all the time. I met so many people in time at UT just because I was wearing my camp ring. It was an instant connection with someone and allowed me to meet many people that I may not have otherwise.
I have been able to attend a few of the alumni camps in re-
cent years. My wife did not go to camp, but has heard about it for years. She still was not drinking the camp koolaid until she went to alumni camp.
After attending her fi rst one ... she said “now I get it. This place is awesome!”
I still to this day say “Att-away” all the time. Whether it is to my kids, other kids, while I am coaching some of their sports, and to just about anyone . . I fi nd myself saying “attaway” probably too often! But I cannot help it. It just comes out.
Thank you Camp Longhorn for everything.
What a funtastik writing, BRANDON NELMS. It’s easy to read and sooo interesting! You have remembered things that most haven’t remembered in years! But above all, the best thing about Camp Longhorn are the friendships one establish-es! Your family dates way back and has been a strong force in molding Camp Longhorn as it is today! Wife DEENA and now Campfi re Lighter DEENA have attended three mini-camps and this past summer she lit the fi re at mini-camp campfi re! We are so proud of her and we are so proud of you, BRANDON, for writing such a special story. A camper 8 years and counselor 4 years at Inks Lake, BRANDON grew up in The Woodlands. He now lives in Austin with wife DEENA and their children ADDIE (10) and 2017 will be her 3rd year at Inks Lake .. HUDSON (6), a future camper! BRANDON is a broker in the oil and gas industry and DEENA works at Dell. BRANDON was a Campfi re Lighter and Wrangler Favorite as a camper and he says he did a lot of basketball and baseball as a counselor. He graduated from UT Austin. We thank you again, BRANDON, for such special memories and we thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to write! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

By SUZANNE HOFMANN ERICKSON
I was recently cleaning out some old boxes and came across an envelope full of letters from my Camp Longhorn friends. What a wonderful experience to sit on the fl oor and reminisce as I read them. They came from many different zip codes and spanned the years from when we were young campers to our years as CITs and Counselors. But the ones that are most dear to me are from my camp pal and forever friend, LESLIE WHITSIT DAV-ENPORT.
LESLIE was from Midland, I was from San Angelo. The Midland bus stopped each year at Kentucky Fried Chicken in ‘An-gelo and LESLIE always saved me the seat right next to her. We were cabin mates, bunkmates .. each year taking turns on who would get the top bunk. I some-how always had enough room to pack a menagerie of stuffed animals in my trunk to decorate my bed and LESLIE would de-light our cabin mates by bringing them to life. She was always so clever and kept us laughing. She still does!
The letters brought back mem-ories of our fun times at CLH ... camp “crushes,” early birds and “don’t forget to write JOHNNY ROB” encouragement (to ensure we were in the same cabin year after year.) They detailed sum-mer plans after fi rst term, spring break trips, boyfriend gossip and always included the exchanging of school photos. Those letters helped pass the time from year to year until we’d see each other again on that beautiful slice of heaven on Inks Lake.
Then came college and how fun it was to see your Camp Longhorn friends on the Univer-sity of Texas campus, at frater-nity and sorority parties and out and about in Austin. LESLIE and I even lived in the same dorm our freshman year!
After graduation at UT, we both landed jobs in Austin- LES-LIE taught school and my fi rst job was in public relations. We found ways to hang out and our friendship continued to grow as our careers blossomed and we started thinking about settling down.
As luck would have it, LES-LIE bought a darling house in Central Austin, soon thereafter I was engaged to Austin native STEPHEN ERICKSON, and we married and bought a house three doors down from LESLIE! The fun continued with block parties, girls wine nights and “The Bach-elor” watching parties. Those Camp Longhorn days always came up in conversation, re-
counting the great times we had.Then LESLIE got a ring from
another Austin native, BILL DAVENPORT, and a beautiful wedding in Santa Fe added to our long list of collective memo-ries. BILL and STEPHEN knew each other from growing up in Austin and at one point, BILL’s family lived across the street from STEPHEN’s. What are the odds!
Then came babies. Leslie found out she was pregnant with twin boys, and seven months later, I too was pregnant. .. with twin boys. Our twins would become fast friends and enjoyed countless playdates and fun times together. Next LESLIE would have another boy and soon thereafter, I was pregnant again ... you guessed it, another boy!
Today our boys all attend the same school and enjoy team sports and daily activities to-gether. Our twins are third term cabin mates at Inks Lake and our littles will get to experience Camp Longhorn this summer for the fi rst time as third term Indian Division campers, also at Inks Lake. I know the boys are excit-ed but I think us Moms are more so, knowing all the excitement that awaits them at camp ... that special place where the camp-fi re is aglow. My heart is full, knowing our children will have the opportunity to know and love the place ... our special place ... among the hills and dales ... upon a lake where breezes fi ll the sails ...
SUZANNE HOFMANN ERICKSON, this is an amazing story! What a bond you and LESLIE WHITSIT DAVENPORT have. Your friendship started early, early at Camp Longhorn Inks Lake .. probably around 1979 and you’all spent, many, many summers as best friends at camp. And, now through mar-ried life you’all are married to friends, your children are the
same age and are friends and the children come to camp the same term and are in the same cabins! .. and, you’all live three houses from each other in Austin! How often could this happen?! This story is so very special and we thank you, SUZANNE, for telling your story in such an interesting way! SUZANNE grew up in San Angelo and now lives in Austin with husband STEPHEN ERICK-SON and their boys . . JOHN & DAVID (twins) 11 years old and 2017 will be their third summer at Inks Lake and ELI, who is 7 years old, will be a fi rst year camper at Inks Lake. SUZANNE was a camper from 1979 - 1987 and a counselor 1988 - 1992. She is Founder and Manag-ing Partner, She-She Media + Design. As a camper SUZANNE entered the CLH Inks Lake Hall of Honor as Little Bonnet Favor-ite in 1979. We thank you again, SUZANNE HOFMANN ERICK-SON, for this great story and we thank you for taking time from a busy, busy schedule to write!

We had a wonderful 60’s (and now 70’s, too) Reunion at Horse-shoe Bay in January in Marble Falls, TX. G.P. (GARDNER PARKER) gathered together a large group of CLH campers/counselors and some wonderful stories of times past and many, many ATTAWAYS were heard time after time! We had mixed emotions that our special, spe-cial friend and many years a di-rector at CLH was not with us. BILL JOHNSON’ passed away just a few days before our re-union. Beautiful tributes by DON FROG, G.P. and ROBBY ROB at the beginning of the “campfi re” were heartfelt and comfortable to all in the room. There were four special Campfi re Lighters CHER-RY MORRILL, JIMMY REED-ER, JOHN MILLER and MISSY McCULLOUGH .. which proba-bly represents 75 years of Camp Longhorn greats! Our “campfi re” was included with the dinner meal and what an exceptional, funny, funny, funny “campfi re” JOHN and JIMMY produced. PAUL LEE’s guitar playing and singing is always a favorite. We thank all the people that helped make the weekend work!! and we look forward to another Reunion in the next few years!

ROBYN BIGELOW HARGROVE
Building character, happy memoriesBy ROBYN BIGELOW
HARGROVE
When I was in fi fth grade I moved to a new school. At that time I was pretty shy and I didn’t have much self-confi dence. Making new friends seemed so daunting.
One day, I was playing in the alley near my new house when another girl just my age poked her head over the fence and said, “Hi, I’m COURTNEY! Want to come play?” That was the begin-ning of one of the most import-ant friendships of my life.
Almost immediately after COURTNEY and I became friends, she started telling me about Camp. She explained to me that, if I wanted to have the most fun I’d ever have in my en-tire life, I absolutely had to join her at Camp Longhorn.
COURTNEY described the Blob, the Hoss Show, chicken fried steak with apple crisp, Church Mountain, Frog Day, Carnival, the mud pit, the list just kept coming. That next summer, I was there!
Camp Longhorn was the greatest experience a shy, awkward kid like me could ever have. Of course, we all know that Camp Longhorn is a won-derful experience for all kinds of kids! But from my perspective, learning that I could take care of myself, try new things, and make new friends was powerful.
I learned that I could be myself and, in the process, have pure, joyful, giggly, goofy fun for three weeks in the Texas Hill Country. Camp was, with-out question, a huge confi dence boost. I met so many great peo-ple, and everyone I encountered was bitten by that CLH bug. Ev-eryone was enthusiastic, caring, welcoming, and supportive. That
Attawaytogo attitude really does make a difference!
I look back now on Camp Longhorn as a big part of my growing up process. I have so many happy memories of Camp, and even have dreams sometimes that I’m on the Blob!
I also know that Camp taught me a lot about confi dence, attitude, and the value of chal-lenging yourself, even if it means swimming a mile when you don’t know that fi rst time if you can make it.
My husband ROB (also a CLH alumnus) and I have three children and our oldest son CHARLIE will be returning for his third year at Indian Springs this Summer. Little brother BOB and little sister FRANCES are also dying to go when they are ready.
When we picked up CHAR-LIE on his fi rst V-Day, I was struck by two things. One, how happy, proud, and self-confi dent CHARLIE was. Two, how little had changed at Camp! It felt like stepping back into a time machine. There was NAN wel-coming everyone, the Blobs, the same cabins (we found CHAR-
LIE’s uncle’s name on a plaque in his cabin last summer), the same Chow, Merit Store, every-thing!
Camp Longhorn knows that what if offers kids is very special and unique, and it knows better than to change that. Instead, they embrace that tradition and shape a lot of lucky kids’ characters in the process. Thanks Camp Longhorn!
ROBYN BIGELOW HAR-GROVE, what a delightful and fun to read story. It’s about your days at camp and how camp had a part in shaping your charac-ter . . the things you remember the most and the learning fun you had. Now, son CHARLIE is experiencing the same, wonder-ful challenges that you experi-enced several years ago! Camp has changed very little through the years. There are some new faces and cabins but the ideas and enthusiasm remain the same! ROBYN was a camper from 1987-1990 and a counselor in 1991 at Indian Springs. She grew up in San Antonio and now lives with husband ROB in Aus-tin and their children CHARLIE (10) and 2017 will be his 3rd year at Indian Springs, BOB (8) and 2017 will be his 1st year at Indian Springs and FRANCES (3), future camper! ROBYN is an Attorney at SCOTT, DOUGLASS & McCONNICO and ROB is an Attorney at OSBORN, GRIF-FITH & HARGROVE. She re-members her honors at the Hoss Show! ROBYN attended Duke University, B.A. and University of Texas School of Law, J.D. We thank you again, ROBYN BI-GELOW HARGROVE for your delightful writing! Thanks for taking time from your busy, busy schedule to write! WE APRRE-CIATE YOU!

Memories for a lifetime with friends and family
ANNE SHRADER HARRINGTON
By ANNE SHRADER HARRINGTON
Every time I step out of the car and inhale that fi rst lung full of sweet Indian Springs air, I am immediately wearing a mer-it badge, a wet swimsuit and hoping there will be chocolate pie for dessert. To say my sum-mers at CLH impacted my life would be selling it short. Those three weeks gave me freedom, growth, best friends, and simple 24 hour carefree sunshine and joy. They helped cement in me the notion that being silly is an essential vitamin of life just as much as being polite and kind. Should you really go through life never having painted your-self green, chased bubble gum dropped from a plane, or com-mando crawled through a mud pit with shorts on your head?
As I thought about what to write for this article I was struck by my family’s long his-tory with Camp Longhorn. Dat-ing back to the forties a woman named ANNE HEIGHTS (for whom I am named after) ran the boarding house for the UT athletes when TEX was a swimmer there. During WWII she looked after Camp for TEX and PAT while they were gone. (Interesting side note: she ap-parently went into the poultry business due to demand during that time and kept camp guard-ed with well-tended fl ock!)
ANNE’s daughter, JANIE, or AUNT JANIE as I knew her, was my grandmother’s best friend. AUNT JANIE and her husband DICK, so the story goes, spent their honeymoon at Camp Longhorn. Thanks to ANNE and JANIE, my grand-parents heard about CLH and took the decision to send my mom and uncle for some sum-mer fun.
Fast forward several de-cades and my parents fi nd themselves living an expat ad-venture in South America with two little boys and a baby girl. My parents wanted to provide their sons with a link to a cul-ture they did not really know or understand living so far away, thus, my brothers got to attend Camp Longhorn during their home leave in the summers. Of course, this paved the way for me and also, started a trend that saw six cousins at camp as well - one hailing all the way from Japan!
Now the next generation enjoys that sweet air, those walks to Church Mountain, the nothing-can-compare-thrill of bouncing on the B.L.O.B. We have fi ve current campers between the Shrader-Hall-Har-rington families and possibly eight more in the line up.
I mention all of this because I am struck by the thread camp
has woven in keeping my family close. My brothers and I share so many memories and delight in picking our kids up together each summer. We strengthened our bonds with our cousins every summer and now we all meet up on V-Day buzzing from that Att-awaytogo infectious spirit. Being a kid who was born abroad, my sense of where I was ‘from’ never really cemented. They call it being a ‘third culture kid’ or someone who spent formative years in a country that was not their passport origin.
Two places provided a sense of ‘coming home’ to me always ... my grandmother’s house in Kaufman, Texas and CLH Indian Springs. I will always be grateful to my parents for the opportunity to do something so special in the summer just as I will always cherish my memories and friend-ships born of those summers.
I am grateful that my daugh-ter, MIA, is able to attend camp and following family tradition she is also a third culture kid having spent her fi rst nine years overseas. Camp has given her a sense of her inner Texan which is coming in handy now that we moved back home.
My cousin, DYLAN, and I al-ways started making our packing lists for camp in February. We rode the bus together every sum-mer and today she is more like my sister. One of my best friends and I started out as ponies many moons ago with knee high tube socks and an inability to comb our hair straight (BECKY LEWIS KELSO!). Since then we’ve shared many adventures including being college room-mates. I meet up and break down life’s conundrums on the jogging trail in Austin regularly with ABIGAIL PFIESTER RUE and we often laugh about the mo-ment we cemented our friend-ship laughing and being silly at camp. My niece CHLOE will be a Marina this summer and its going to be so much fun to share and compare stories. My daugh-ter, MIA, comes home every summer lit up and glowing and I totally get it. My husband, not
a former camper, thinks we may all be a little bonkers but he’s never done the water sock or tried to stuff 20 marshmallows in his mouth. I am thinking alumni camp is in his future.
I guess you could say I have much for which to be grateful to Camp Longhorn. If there is one thing I have learned, life is about connection. I am not talking about who you know, but how you are. Do you lean into the light? Do you try to make even the smallest of interactions pleasant because even those have a knock on effect and could make or break a person’s day. I think camp embraces this notion and it’s why everyone feels so good while they are there. It’s the reason my daughter’s so fi lled up with happiness when we pick her up on V-Day. It’s why I get that wonderful feel-ing when I step out of the car
and breathe that sweet air. It’s contagious and going strong! ATIAWAYTOGO Camp!
What a special story, ANNE SHRADER HARRINGTON! It starts with a lady ANNE HEIGHTS who you are named after and her daughter JANIE who was your grandmother’s best friend! TEX hired ANNE to watch over camp while he and PAT were gone during WWII. Thanks to ANNE and JANIE, your grandparents heard about CLH and sent your mom and uncle to camp! This is how the SHRADER-HALL-HAR-RINGTON families began their amazing CLH years and even now these families have fi ve cur-rent campers and possibly eight more to come! Their gatherings on V-Day are enjoyed with fam-ily fun and we appreciate that someone most always sends a picture of the group to CLASP!

When HELEN asked me to write my memories of Camp I warned her that I had not written anything at length since 1994! As the weeks went by and HEL-EN’s info packet came in, I was thrilled to write all the special things that I remember about Camp.
The older I get my favorite things from Camp change and things that I appreciate now I may not have necessarily ap-preciated when I was a camper. My favorite memory is when I was in the water cabins. At times I would wake up before the morning click of the speakers, before JOHNNY ROB or ROB-BY ROB would blare the crazy scratchy music and before either one would announce KP duties and Campfi re skits. There was this very peaceful, quiet moment. The water lapping gently against the cabin and sometimes a gentle sway could be felt from the pass-ing of a boat.
This is something that I think about often as an adult. It was a peaceful feeling you couldn’t fi nd anywhere else.
I loved all activities that involved the water. Blobbing, trolly, watersock and swim bay. I eventually swam the mile when I fi gured out that the long distance qualify swim wasn’t a race!
Taking it slow and easy was the way. I left Camp Longhorn with a love for swimming and everything water activity! Now I frequently take my kids, who are also campers, surfi ng and paddle boarding.
Barney’s Bacon .... enough said.
Getting ready for dance night!
The nerves, the excitement of “Will he ask me to dance ... ?” and your best friends, all 11 of them assuring you he would! And he did.
Carnival! Getting the princess ready for her big night! Hoping she would get that beautiful crown placed upon her head! And she did.
Walking up and down in the drive between the merit store and pit stop looking for some-one to put in Blue Bird Jail and when we were Chiefs looking for that one Counselor we ALL had a crush on to marry!! We found him and WE DID!!!
Movie nights were unforget-table. Herbie the Love Bug on a reel to reel projector. During intermission sitting in the pitch black of the night, all you could see was the orange glow of BOB TARLTON’s cigarette as he told the adventures of Timmy and Janie. Those were the best stories and I wish I had close to the imagination he did for telling a story.
Church Mountain was so
special and I get “misty” think-ing about the start of our eve-ning. Our silent hike up the hill, refl ecting on the wonderful and eventful week we had just ac-complished. Sitting up there and watching the sun set, the week to end and another to start. Listen-ing to the Chiefs sing. Listening to TEX.
All of its true at Camp Longhorn. Everyone really IS someone, The Fun Never Sets and Friends are Friends Forev-er. Thank You Spirit of Camp Longhorn for still being a part of our lives and now touching my children’s lives!
LESLEY LINK COLLINS, what a special story! It’s amaz-ing the things you remember forever . . like the crazy scratchy music or BARNEY’s bacon. Sooo many memories that will last al-ways! Everyone really IS some-one at Camp Longhorn! LESLEY was a camper for nine years at Inks Lake. She started her life in Canadian, TX and moved to Aus-tin in 1983 where she now lives. She is in the Real Estate Busi-ness. LESLEY ‘ s children are TEAL COLLINS (10) and 2017 will be his 3rd year at CLH Inks Lake and JETTIE COLLINS (9) and 2017 will be her 2nd year at CLH Inks Lake. She was a Camp Fire Lighter several times and a duchess her Quail year. LESLEY’s specialty at camp was having fun! .. making everyone laugh! She graduated from PEP-PERDINE UNIVERSITY! (GO WAVES!) We thank you again, LESLEY LINK COLLINS, for your great story and we appreci-ate your taking time from a busy schedule to write! See you V-Day this coming summer!

What I know now and learned then
50 plus summers at Camp Longhorn - Heaven on Earth
KENDALL ARMSTRONG ROBINSON
By KENDALL ARMSTRONG ROBINSON
When I think of Camp Long-horn, I think of my dear family and friends. It all started for me when I was eight and in the Wren cabin. I am beyond grateful my parents sent me to what my twelve year old calls “heaven on earth.” Although the fi rst year was not the easiest, due to being slightly homesick, I never looked back and learned many life lessons.
I spent three weeks every sum-mer making lasting friendships. I know that I can call on any of my lifelong CLH friends at any time. I was able to share this special time with my sister, ALLISON ARMSTRONG AYERS. I also danced with my husband, ALEC ROBINSON, our fi rst summer at camp. I still have the letter my mom wrote regarding our fi rst dance. Who knew we would start
dating in our twenties and later marry. We have been married for almost twenty years!
The tradition began again when my nieces, KENDALL and MEA AYERS, and when my
girls, ALLIE and ISABEL ROB-INSON, started attending. They were all four there last summer. KENDALL was a fi rst year counselor, MEA was a Wran-gler, ALLIE was a Falcon, and ISABEL was a Wren. I can’t tell you how special it is for them to all be at camp together. I love knowing they are enjoying the same activities I enjoyed through the years. It is so fun thinking about their day while anxiously waiting for the girls to get home. They love the water and land actives, amazing friendships and beautiful Church Mountain. They are defi nitely looking for-ward to summer 2017!
When you add up how many summers our family members have attended at CLH, it adds up to over 50 summers. I am forever grateful for the rich camp traditions and the strong values that CLH continues to instill in
our family.
WOW, over 50 summers and counting are the amount of sum-mers KENDALL ARMSTRONG ROBINSON’s family has spent at camp when adding up summers family members have attended! The friendships made a camp are mostly forever and many years ago KENDALL, as a Wren at Inks Lake, danced her fi rst dance with ALEC ROBINSON! . . not knowing that many years later he would be her husband! What a great story! She was a camper eight years and a counselor one year. Her hometown growing up was Victoria and she now lives in Austin with husband ALEC and their girls .. ALLIE ROB-INSON (12) and 2017 will be her 6th year as a camper at Inks Lake and ISABEL ROBINSON (9) and 2017 will be her 2nd year as a camper at Inks Lake. KENDALL does some recruiting
and spends time at home with their two daughters and husband. ALEC is an Entrepreneur and as a camper he was Camp Fire Lighter four times and Seahawk Favor-ite. KENDALL was a Seagull counselor and taught various camp activities. She graduated from Converse College . Thanks bunches, KENDALL, for taking time from your busy schedule to jot down such special thoughts and memories! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Memories for a lifetime with friends and family
ANNE SHRADER HARRINGTON
By ANNE SHRADER HARRINGTON
Every time I step out of the car and inhale that fi rst lung full of sweet Indian Springs air, I am immediately wearing a mer-it badge, a wet swimsuit and hoping there will be chocolate pie for dessert. To say my sum-mers at CLH impacted my life would be selling it short. Those three weeks gave me freedom, growth, best friends, and simple 24 hour carefree sunshine and joy. They helped cement in me the notion that being silly is an essential vitamin of life just as much as being polite and kind. Should you really go through life never having painted your-self green, chased bubble gum dropped from a plane, or com-mando crawled through a mud pit with shorts on your head?
As I thought about what to write for this article I was struck by my family’s long his-tory with Camp Longhorn. Dat-ing back to the forties a woman named ANNE HEIGHTS (for whom I am named after) ran the boarding house for the UT athletes when TEX was a swimmer there. During WWII she looked after Camp for TEX and PAT while they were gone. (Interesting side note: she ap-parently went into the poultry business due to demand during that time and kept camp guard-ed with well-tended fl ock!)
ANNE’s daughter, JANIE, or AUNT JANIE as I knew her, was my grandmother’s best friend. AUNT JANIE and her husband DICK, so the story goes, spent their honeymoon at Camp Longhorn. Thanks to ANNE and JANIE, my grand-parents heard about CLH and took the decision to send my mom and uncle for some sum-mer fun.
Fast forward several de-cades and my parents fi nd themselves living an expat ad-venture in South America with two little boys and a baby girl. My parents wanted to provide their sons with a link to a cul-ture they did not really know or understand living so far away, thus, my brothers got to attend Camp Longhorn during their home leave in the summers. Of course, this paved the way for me and also, started a trend that saw six cousins at camp as well - one hailing all the way from Japan!
Now the next generation enjoys that sweet air, those walks to Church Mountain, the nothing-can-compare-thrill of bouncing on the B.L.O.B. We have fi ve current campers between the Shrader-Hall-Har-rington families and possibly eight more in the line up.
I mention all of this because I am struck by the thread camp
has woven in keeping my family close. My brothers and I share so many memories and delight in picking our kids up together each summer. We strengthened our bonds with our cousins every summer and now we all meet up on V-Day buzzing from that Att-awaytogo infectious spirit. Being a kid who was born abroad, my sense of where I was ‘from’ never really cemented. They call it being a ‘third culture kid’ or someone who spent formative years in a country that was not their passport origin.
Two places provided a sense of ‘coming home’ to me always ... my grandmother’s house in Kaufman, Texas and CLH Indian Springs. I will always be grateful to my parents for the opportunity to do something so special in the summer just as I will always cherish my memories and friend-ships born of those summers.
I am grateful that my daugh-ter, MIA, is able to attend camp and following family tradition she is also a third culture kid having spent her fi rst nine years overseas. Camp has given her a sense of her inner Texan which is coming in handy now that we moved back home.
My cousin, DYLAN, and I al-ways started making our packing lists for camp in February. We rode the bus together every sum-mer and today she is more like my sister.

What I know now and learned then
50 plus summers at Camp Longhorn - Heaven on Earth
KENDALL ARMSTRONG ROBINSON
By KENDALL ARMSTRONG ROBINSON
When I think of Camp Long-horn, I think of my dear family and friends. It all started for me when I was eight and in the Wren cabin. I am beyond grateful my parents sent me to what my twelve year old calls “heaven on earth.” Although the fi rst year was not the easiest, due to being slightly homesick, I never looked back and learned many life lessons.
I spent three weeks every sum-mer making lasting friendships. I know that I can call on any of my lifelong CLH friends at any time. I was able to share this special time with my sister, ALLISON ARMSTRONG AYERS. I also danced with my husband, ALEC ROBINSON, our fi rst summer at camp. I still have the letter my mom wrote regarding our fi rst dance. Who knew we would start
dating in our twenties and later marry. We have been married for almost twenty years!
The tradition began again when my nieces, KENDALL and MEA AYERS, and when my
girls, ALLIE and ISABEL ROB-INSON, started attending. They were all four there last summer. KENDALL was a fi rst year counselor, MEA was a Wran-gler, ALLIE was a Falcon, and ISABEL was a Wren. I can’t tell you how special it is for them to all be at camp together. I love knowing they are enjoying the same activities I enjoyed through the years. It is so fun thinking about their day while anxiously waiting for the girls to get home. They love the water and land actives, amazing friendships and beautiful Church Mountain. They are defi nitely looking for-ward to summer 2017!
When you add up how many summers our family members have attended at CLH, it adds up to over 50 summers. I am forever grateful for the rich camp traditions and the strong values that CLH continues to instill in
our family.
WOW, over 50 summers and counting are the amount of sum-mers KENDALL ARMSTRONG ROBINSON’s family has spent at camp when adding up summers family members have attended! The friendships made a camp are mostly forever and many years ago KENDALL, as a Wren at Inks Lake, danced her fi rst dance with ALEC ROBINSON! . . not knowing that many years later he would be her husband! What a great story! She was a camper eight years and a counselor one year. Her hometown growing up was Victoria and she now lives in Austin with husband ALEC and their girls .. ALLIE ROB-INSON (12) and 2017 will be her 6th year as a camper at Inks Lake and ISABEL ROBINSON (9) and 2017 will be her 2nd year as a camper at Inks Lake. KENDALL does some recruiting
and spends time at home with their two daughters and husband. ALEC is an Entrepreneur and as a camper he was Camp Fire Lighter four times and Seahawk Favor-ite. KENDALL was a Seagull counselor and taught various camp activities. She graduated from Converse College . Thanks bunches, KENDALL, for taking time from your busy schedule to jot down such special thoughts and memories! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

ROBYN BIGELOW HARGROVE
Building character, happy memoriesBy ROBYN BIGELOW
HARGROVE
When I was in fi fth grade I moved to a new school. At that time I was pretty shy and I didn’t have much self-confi dence. Making new friends seemed so daunting.
One day, I was playing in the alley near my new house when another girl just my age poked her head over the fence and said, “Hi, I’m COURTNEY! Want to come play?” That was the begin-ning of one of the most import-ant friendships of my life.
Almost immediately after COURTNEY and I became friends, she started telling me about Camp. She explained to me that, if I wanted to have the most fun I’d ever have in my en-tire life, I absolutely had to join her at Camp Longhorn.
COURTNEY described the Blob, the Hoss Show, chicken fried steak with apple crisp, Church Mountain, Frog Day, Carnival, the mud pit, the list just kept coming. That next summer, I was there!
Camp Longhorn was the greatest experience a shy, awkward kid like me could ever have. Of course, we all know that Camp Longhorn is a won-derful experience for all kinds of kids! But from my perspective, learning that I could take care of myself, try new things, and make new friends was powerful.
I learned that I could be myself and, in the process, have pure, joyful, giggly, goofy fun for three weeks in the Texas Hill Country. Camp was, with-out question, a huge confi dence boost. I met so many great peo-ple, and everyone I encountered was bitten by that CLH bug. Ev-eryone was enthusiastic, caring, welcoming, and supportive. That
Attawaytogo attitude really does make a difference!
I look back now on Camp Longhorn as a big part of my growing up process. I have so many happy memories of Camp, and even have dreams sometimes that I’m on the Blob!
I also know that Camp taught me a lot about confi dence, attitude, and the value of chal-lenging yourself, even if it means swimming a mile when you don’t know that fi rst time if you can make it.
My husband ROB (also a CLH alumnus) and I have three children and our oldest son CHARLIE will be returning for his third year at Indian Springs this Summer. Little brother BOB and little sister FRANCES are also dying to go when they are ready.
When we picked up CHAR-LIE on his fi rst V-Day, I was struck by two things. One, how happy, proud, and self-confi dent CHARLIE was. Two, how little had changed at Camp! It felt like stepping back into a time machine. There was NAN wel-coming everyone, the Blobs, the same cabins (we found CHAR-
LIE’s uncle’s name on a plaque in his cabin last summer), the same Chow, Merit Store, every-thing!
Camp Longhorn knows that what if offers kids is very special and unique, and it knows better than to change that. Instead, they embrace that tradition and shape a lot of lucky kids’ characters in the process. Thanks Camp Longhorn!
ROBYN BIGELOW HAR-GROVE, what a delightful and fun to read story. It’s about your days at camp and how camp had a part in shaping your charac-ter . . the things you remember the most and the learning fun you had. Now, son CHARLIE is experiencing the same, wonder-ful challenges that you experi-enced several years ago! Camp has changed very little through the years. There are some new faces and cabins but the ideas and enthusiasm remain the same! ROBYN was a camper from 1987-1990 and a counselor in 1991 at Indian Springs. She grew up in San Antonio and now lives with husband ROB in Aus-tin and their children CHARLIE (10) and 2017 will be his 3rd year at Indian Springs, BOB (8) and 2017 will be his 1st year at Indian Springs and FRANCES (3), future camper! ROBYN is an Attorney at SCOTT, DOUGLASS & McCONNICO and ROB is an Attorney at OSBORN, GRIF-FITH & HARGROVE. She re-members her honors at the Hoss Show! ROBYN attended Duke University, B.A. and University of Texas School of Law, J.D. We thank you again, ROBYN BI-GELOW HARGROVE for your delightful writing! Thanks for taking time from your busy, busy schedule to write! WE APRRE-CIATE YOU!

By SUZANNE HOFMANN ERICKSON
I was recently cleaning out some old boxes and came across an envelope full of letters from my Camp Longhorn friends. What a wonderful experience to sit on the fl oor and reminisce as I read them. They came from many different zip codes and spanned the years from when we were young campers to our years as CITs and Counselors. But the ones that are most dear to me are from my camp pal and forever friend, LESLIE WHITSIT DAV-ENPORT.
LESLIE was from Midland, I was from San Angelo. The Midland bus stopped each year at Kentucky Fried Chicken in ‘An-gelo and LESLIE always saved me the seat right next to her. We were cabin mates, bunkmates .. each year taking turns on who would get the top bunk. I some-how always had enough room to pack a menagerie of stuffed animals in my trunk to decorate my bed and LESLIE would de-light our cabin mates by bringing them to life. She was always so clever and kept us laughing. She still does!
The letters brought back mem-ories of our fun times at CLH ... camp “crushes,” early birds and “don’t forget to write JOHNNY ROB” encouragement (to ensure we were in the same cabin year after year.) They detailed sum-mer plans after fi rst term, spring break trips, boyfriend gossip and always included the exchanging of school photos. Those letters helped pass the time from year to year until we’d see each other again on that beautiful slice of heaven on Inks Lake.
Then came college and how fun it was to see your Camp Longhorn friends on the Univer-sity of Texas campus, at frater-nity and sorority parties and out and about in Austin. LESLIE and I even lived in the same dorm our freshman year!
After graduation at UT, we both landed jobs in Austin- LES-LIE taught school and my fi rst job was in public relations. We found ways to hang out and our friendship continued to grow as our careers blossomed and we started thinking about settling down.
As luck would have it, LES-LIE bought a darling house in Central Austin, soon thereafter I was engaged to Austin native STEPHEN ERICKSON, and we married and bought a house three doors down from LESLIE! The fun continued with block parties, girls wine nights and “The Bach-elor” watching parties. Those Camp Longhorn days always came up in conversation, re-
counting the great times we had.Then LESLIE got a ring from
another Austin native, BILL DAVENPORT, and a beautiful wedding in Santa Fe added to our long list of collective memo-ries. BILL and STEPHEN knew each other from growing up in Austin and at one point, BILL’s family lived across the street from STEPHEN’s. What are the odds!
Then came babies. Leslie found out she was pregnant with twin boys, and seven months later, I too was pregnant. .. with twin boys. Our twins would become fast friends and enjoyed countless playdates and fun times together. Next LESLIE would have another boy and soon thereafter, I was pregnant again ... you guessed it, another boy!
Today our boys all attend the same school and enjoy team sports and daily activities to-gether. Our twins are third term cabin mates at Inks Lake and our littles will get to experience Camp Longhorn this summer for the fi rst time as third term Indian Division campers, also at Inks Lake. I know the boys are excit-ed but I think us Moms are more so, knowing all the excitement that awaits them at camp ... that special place where the camp-fi re is aglow. My heart is full, knowing our children will have the opportunity to know and love the place ... our special place ... among the hills and dales ... upon a lake where breezes fi ll the sails ...
SUZANNE HOFMANN ERICKSON, this is an amazing story! What a bond you and LESLIE WHITSIT DAVENPORT have. Your friendship started early, early at Camp Longhorn Inks Lake .. probably around 1979 and you’all spent, many, many summers as best friends at camp. And, now through mar-ried life you’all are married to friends, your children are the
same age and are friends and the children come to camp the same term and are in the same cabins! .. and, you’all live three houses from each other in Austin! How often could this happen?! This story is so very special and we thank you, SUZANNE, for telling your story in such an interesting way! SUZANNE grew up in San Angelo and now lives in Austin with husband STEPHEN ERICK-SON and their boys . . JOHN & DAVID (twins) 11 years old and 2017 will be their third summer at Inks Lake and ELI, who is 7 years old, will be a fi rst year camper at Inks Lake. SUZANNE was a camper from 1979 - 1987 and a counselor 1988 - 1992. She is Founder and Manag-ing Partner, She-She Media + Design. As a camper SUZANNE entered the CLH Inks Lake Hall of Honor as Little Bonnet Favor-ite in 1979. We thank you again, SUZANNE HOFMANN ERICK-SON, for this great story and we thank you for taking time from a busy, busy schedule to write!

We had a wonderful 60’s (and now 70’s, too) Reunion at Horse-shoe Bay in January in Marble Falls, TX. G.P. (GARDNER PARKER) gathered together a large group of CLH campers/counselors and some wonderful stories of times past and many, many ATTAWAYS were heard time after time! We had mixed emotions that our special, spe-cial friend and many years a di-rector at CLH was not with us. BILL JOHNSON’ passed away just a few days before our re-union. Beautiful tributes by DON FROG, G.P. and ROBBY ROB at the beginning of the “campfi re” were heartfelt and comfortable to all in the room. There were four special Campfi re Lighters CHER-RY MORRILL, JIMMY REED-ER, JOHN MILLER and MISSY McCULLOUGH .. which proba-bly represents 75 years of Camp Longhorn greats! Our “campfi re” was included with the dinner meal and what an exceptional, funny, funny, funny “campfi re” JOHN and JIMMY produced. PAUL LEE’s guitar playing and singing is always a favorite. We thank all the people that helped make the weekend work!! and we look forward to another Reunion in the next few years!

KRISTEN CLARK NIX with her three boys . . RYAN (6) and twins HUNTER and WILLIAM (3)
By KRISTEN CLARK NIX
I can remember coming home in the fall of 3rd grade and telling my parents that I had to go to Camp Longhorn the next sum-mer. Having returned back to school, my best friend, LAUREN CARRIGAN, had quickly sold me on the adventures of her sum-mer on INKS LAKE. My parents were convinced after meeting BILLY ROB at Carnival and before I knew it, I was packing my blue wooden trunk for 2nd TERM of 1991.
We met the camp buses in Houston’s Memorial City Mall parking lot and while my par-ents were becoming emotional, I couldn’t wait for my adventure to begin.
I remember instantly feel-ing like a Longhorn girl as I stepped off the bus and they announced I was a Canary. I’ll never forget the special friends and counselors who took me under their wing ... and whom I wanted to be just like .... MEG JONES and GREER TERRY who always had a smile on their faces. LYLE FOSTER- so fun and funny. SARAH BROWN and LINDSAY GREEN, who were older and introduced me to their friends, thank you. CHRISTINE MOORE, who welcomed me as her camper my fi rst year and now our children attend the same school in Austin.
Camp was magical, like a vacation from real life. Thinking back on this time, I realize that over a few short weeks, camp traditions and life lessons were subconsciously ingrained in our minds to help us through our adulthood.
Five things I learned at Camp Longhorn include:
1. Seize the Day- Camp was like one three-week long play date. We were kept active and entertained. in a causal authentic way. It was amazing we could complete ten activities, three meals and still have time for teth-er ball and Camp Fire. No empty hours to complain of boredom or to stare at the television. Activi-ty! Each day beginning with an-nouncements on the loud speaker and closing peacefully singing taps. It’s a wonder I never joined the military because to this day, I still crave a schedule.
2. Resiliency- The kind of encouragement and nurture we received at camp made it a great environment to endure setbacks, try new things, and see that im-provement comes when you give something another try. Sailing, Blabbing, Archery, Marina Mud, The Mile Swim, Skit Night, dancing with boys at Dance Night.. .trying new things at camp was exciting and made me feel like it was safe to step out of
my comfort zone. I think having successful experiences away from home helped me become more resilient while building my confi dence and identity.
3. Be happy ... and be happy for others -I’ve always thought being happy is a choice. It became contagious, seeing the directors and counselors at camp always encouraging campers with positive and outgoing attitudes. Teamwork and friendly competition were part of what made camp’s close-knit commu-nity special. Grudges weren’t held for the camper chosen as Camp Fire Lighter or the winner of Queen and King at Carnival as we really celebrated other campers successes ... because everybody REALLY was some-body at Camp Longhorn.
4.Try and do what’s right - Camp was a place of struc-ture, values and respect that felt deeply meaningful and comfort-ing. Being a part of long time camp traditions that were started by PAT & TEX was special and nothing could straighten me out like a D-merit.
5. Camp Friendships are unique- During the school year, I exchanged letters with a lot of my cabin mates and friends at camp who lived in other cities. I craved to know, what their lives were like back home and what experiences they were hav-ing. Naturally, we would pick right back up the next summer at camp and I believe being unplugged from gameboys and television at camp allowed us to connect with each other in ways that society doesn’t provide. KELLY WADE, JENNA BUSH, FRASER WOODWARD, DI-
ANE BROUILLARD, MOLLY HOUSER, ASHLEY ANDER-SON, ILLA STEEN, SARITA PITT ... . KELLY WALNE, CRICKET THURBER, WOOD-SON WHITEHEAD, WILL GARWOOD and CAMPBELL FOSTER. ... many of these friends would continue as col-lege friends at The University of Texas.
Time spent at camp felt like a touchstone moment, some-thing that still feels meaningful even after all these years ... and occasionally dreamt about. My husband and INKS 3rd TERM camper, LEE NIX, and I can’t wait for the day we send our three boys off to Camp Long-horn.

Camp and the man I am today
Thanks for the memories CLHCHRIS CHORN

Whenever I think back on my time as a camper at Camp Long-horn, the fi rst memories I have are of the activities. That one time I felt like I was above the chow hall after being bounced on the Blob or the fi rst time I mus-tered up the courage to go down the trolley. After really thinking about my experiences at Camp, though, another picture begins to emerge. Camp Longhorn has directly affected the person I am today.
I had the opportunity to attend the Dallas Carnival with my 1 year old daughter LILY this year, and the positive change Camp has on people became evident as I was sitting with TRES CLIN-TON watching him interview prospective new campers. A couple of brothers approached the table, one who had been to camp last year and the other who hadn’t. The boy who had been to camp was full of enthusiastic “yes sir!”s while his brother was struggling, opting for the more timid “yeah”s and “nope”s. I would be willing to bet all of the merits LILY will inherit someday (which admittedly probably isn’t much due to the overpowering allure of a jam box from the merit store when I was a Wran-gler) that that same brother will return to Carnival next year with the same attitude and politeness as his brother who had already attended. It is an incredible trans-formation that lasts long after V-Day has come and gone.
The most important part of Camp Longhorn for me though has to be the relationships. I’ve stayed on countless couches and guest beds of guys I grew up spending a mere 2 weeks with every summer.
We’ve taken trips to the mountains, the beach, and every-where in between. A good friend from Camp even helped me when deciding where to get my MBA and wrote a recommen-
dation on my behalf to his alma mater. While earning that MBA I leaned heavily on DAVID BENNETT for advice not only about business but about life. We probably hadn’t spoken in a couple of years but DAVID had no problem taking the time to answer all of my questions, some deeply personal, even in the midst of starting up C3.
It’s easy for me to look back on my time as a camper and remember jumping on the blob or zipping down the trolley, but whenever I sit down and really refl ect on it, one thing becomes evident: I wouldn’t be the person I am today had I not spent those 2 weeks a year at Camp Long-horn.
Such an interesting writing, CHRIS CHORN. Isn’t it won-derful . the lifetime friendships developed in a short two weeks each summer! I think it’s the love of Camp Longhorn and the people that surround you that kindle these friendships. We are so happy you are introducing Camp Longhorn to your daugh-ter LILY at an early age! (Save those merits she will be getting the next several years!!) And, how precious she is! CHRIS was a camper six years and a coun-selor six or seven years at Indian Springs. He was raised in Tem-ple and now lives in Dallas with

I am not really sure where to begin with my memories of Camp Longhorn! Camp is such a special place to me and my family. I have had so many fam-ily members attend camp. My parents, sister, cousins, aunts, uncles .... even my grandpar-ents RUTH and LAWRENCE SKELLEY were counselors. I was able to go to camp the same time that my sister KRIS-TIN NELMS HUBBARD and cousins MIKE BLALOCK and KELLY BLALOCK MORTON were there. Those are some great memories that we will always have.
I remember the days of dropping my sister off at the bus before I was old enough to attend. And once I was old enough I remember the mixed emotions. There was the pure ex-citement of wanting to get there as soon as possible, but also the sadness of leaving my parents for 3 weeks (at least the fi rst few years).
The bus ride seemed to take forever. We could not get there fast enough. Then there was the stop for fried chicken in La Grange along the way. But the candy and comic books made the ride so much better.
I remember secretly hoping that baseball season did not last too long and cut into my time at camp. I remember the unique things that you did at camp like wearing boxers that stuck out below your shorts.
Tether ball .... oh so much tether ball.
I remember being embar-rassed when I was real young when my counselors asked if I took a bm.
I remember saving all my merits and hoping that I would have enough for the Sony Wal-kman.
I remember loving the cook outs and having watermelon fi ghts with the other cabin.
I remember my parents pick-
ing us up on Vday in the boat. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I remember my cousin MIKE BLALOCK drafting myself and JOHN WORTHEN on his base-ball team.
I remember always wanting more bacon at breakfast than they would give me.
I remember the long hot walks up to Church Mountain ... but it was so worth it once you were there.
I still can hear the wake up call. .. rise and shine, be up and about.
I remember my Wrangler year we somehow were able to get a 2 liter bottle of Coke on evening. And the entire next day ROBBY ROB walked around with the steel hook that we used to get it.
But the best thing about Camp Longhorn is the friendships that you establish. You meet so many different people, from different cities, with different interests. But you have the common bond of loving Camp Longhorn. I was lucky enough to attend long enough to get my camp ring. I wore it all the time. I met so many people in time at UT just because I was wearing my camp ring. It was an instant connection with someone and allowed me to meet many people that I may not have otherwise.
I have been able to attend a few of the alumni camps in re-
cent years. My wife did not go to camp, but has heard about it for years. She still was not drinking the camp koolaid until she went to alumni camp.
After attending her fi rst one ... she said “now I get it. This place is awesome!”
I still to this day say “Att-away” all the time. Whether it is to my kids, other kids, while I am coaching some of their sports, and to just about anyone . . I fi nd myself saying “attaway” probably too often! But I cannot help it. It just comes out.
Thank you Camp Longhorn for everything.
What a funtastik writing, BRANDON NELMS. It’s easy to read and sooo interesting! You have remembered things that most haven’t remembered in years! But above all, the best thing about Camp Longhorn are the friendships one establish-es! Your family dates way back and has been a strong force in molding Camp Longhorn as it is today! Wife DEENA and now Campfi re Lighter DEENA have attended three mini-camps and this past summer she lit the fi re at mini-camp campfi re! We are so proud of her and we are so proud of you, BRANDON, for writing such a special story. A camper 8 years and counselor 4 years at Inks Lake, BRANDON grew up in The Woodlands. He now lives in Austin with wife DEENA and their children ADDIE (10) and 2017 will be her 3rd year at Inks Lake .. HUDSON (6), a future camper! BRANDON is a broker in the oil and gas industry and DEENA works at Dell. BRANDON was a Campfi re Lighter and Wrangler Favorite as a camper and he says he did a lot of basketball and baseball as a counselor. He graduated from UT Austin. We thank you again, BRANDON, for such special memories and we thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to write! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

These are the wise words of my 9-year-old daughter. When I was asked to write this article for LUMNEWS, my daughter, BROOKLYN, asked me what I was going to write about. I told her I wasn’t sure. She said ohhh, I know, “Jump on the Blob. Have fun. The End.” Somehow, that wasn’t the end. I hope this family camp legacy will go on for years to come.
My camp history started back in 1955 on Inks Lake. My mother, TERRIE HAMBLEN BURSIEL and her cousin JOHANNA SMITH, went to camp for the fi rst time. In those days camp was 4 weeks of water sports, horses and frisbees (no Blob, yet). One of her favorite memories includ-ed being greeted by BILL and MF JOHNSON as she arrived at camp and being wrapped in their arms as they lovingly welcomed each camper back, or welcomed them to camp for the fi rst time.
Fast forward to 30 years, when my sister fi rst attended Camp Longhorn as a Pony. Four years later in 1989 on the 50th anniversary of Indian Springs, I attended my fi rst year as a Rattlesnake. My fi rst year at camp was a fi rst of many for me as a camper. It was the fi rst time to spend that amount of time away from my parents, it was the fi rst time to swim a mile, getting Campfi re lighter on the fi rst day, and being the fi rst to “break in” the Ranger program.
As a fi rst-year Rattlesnake, one the fi rst, and most comfort-ing, things I remember is NAN MANNING meeting me and giving me one of the biggest hugs, and welcoming me to camp. That was when I knew I was a member of the Camp Longhorn family. Laying in my bunk at quiet time, eating chow, or simply jumping on the Blob, I never dreamed that 28 years later, I would be getting my daughter ready for her sec-ond year at Camp longhorn.
In my 9 years as a camper, there are so many wonderful memories. From friends to inspections, to quiet time, to wonderful counselors, to end-less activities, to the blob. All of this started in the chow hall on visitor’s day in 1988, when SALLY gave me my camp in-terview. Then to see my daugh-ter having her camp interview sitting almost in the same spot in the chow hall, overlooking Indian Spings brought back so many memories.
On the car ride home from her camp visit and interview, all she could talk about was go-ing to camp and how much fun it would be. That evening after
Jump on the Blob, have fun, the end

dinner, she pulled out my camp annuals, and started fl ipping through them. I asked her what she was doing and she simply responded, “I’m looking at all the fun you had at camp.”
Now, she looks at my annuals to see who is still there compared to hers and she looks at hers to remember how much fun she had her fi rst year. She can’t wait to go back!!
In this small world, you never know whose path you are going to cross, a few years after starting camp, my family moved to Wimberley, Texas. Soon we crossed paths with BILL and MF. Twenty-three years later, even though BILL is no longer with us, MF is still a shining face that occasionally steps though my of-fi ce door to catch up on the local Wimberley politics, and share stories from our time at camp, as she has done for 17 years.
We never know where the paths we take will lead us. I am so glad for the path my mother’s parents took in sending her to camp in 1955. I am happy that my parents went down that same path to send me to Camp Long-horn. It’s amazing to me, to go back and see camp today. To see so many familiar faces from the past, that are still there today.
When mom goes to V-Day she still sees so many familiar faces from her time at camp. Camp Longhorn is truly a family, in ev-ery sense of the word. I love sit-ting down with my daughter and hearing the stories she tells of camp. The story of her favorite activity, Blob of course, whose wasn’t? We even talk about our least favorite activity. Mine was Pickleball. She loved it. I can see why as somehow there were marshmallows involved. Spend-ing this time with her talking about her memories of her fi rst year at camp, gives me the same time to think back over my years there and to relive my memories. Over the years many things have changed, but more importantly many more things have stayed the same.
Even though the times have changed, activities have changed, the memories and the
stories have all stayed the same. We will never forget the caring faces of our camp directors, or the nightly campfi re skits, church mountain and even the apple crisp at chow. The mem-ories made at camp will last a lifetime, as will the legacy of Camp Longhorn.
So, in the words of my daugh-ter, BROOKLYN, “Jump on the Blob. Have Fun. The End.”
Thanks, MARK BURSIEL, for such an interesting writing! And, thank you TERRIE HAM-BLEN BURSIEL and JOHANNA SMITH for your camping days and encouraging MARK to attend. Very little has changed. A visit between TERRIE and your daughter BROOKLYN is prob-ably about the same as a visit between you and your daughter. And, what a great focus point . . The BLOB! MARK was a camp-er for 9 years at Indian Springs. His early years were in Conroe, TX with the family moving to Wimberley a few years after he started camp. MARK, a Real Estate Agent for Century 21 and wife KAREE a teacher, have two children BROOKLYN (9) and 2017 will be her 2nd year at In-dian Springs and HUNTER (5), a future Rattlesnake at Indian Springs. MARK was a top 5 mile swimmer · twice, a big Stock-holder and a Campfi re Lighter twice. He graduated from Texas State (Southwest Texas) in 2004. - We thank you again, MARK BURSIEL, for taking time from a busy schedule to jot down those great memories you write about! WE APPRECIATE YOU!
By JASON HARVEY
This past summer during third term, my wife, SHANNON ELLIOTT HARVEY, and I were out at dinner with Camp friends JEREMY WILHELMI and BETH McBRIDE WILHELMI since our two kids and their three kids were at Camp. During din-ner, SHANNON’s phone rang. Since the caller ID indicated the call was from Burnet, SHAN-NON answered in case there was an emergency. Fortunately, it was not the Pit Stop, but rather it was HELEN. HELEN fi rst confi rmed that SHANNON had already written an article for the LUMNews, and then she asked me if I would be willing to write an article. I am not sure if anyone has ever refused HELEN, but I certainly did not plan on being the fi rst.
As I pondered what to write for my article, I considered writ-ing about the relationships forged at Camp, Camp experiences that remain applicable to everyday life, or how we can strive to meet Camp ideals to improve everyday life. These are all excel-lent themes that have received outstanding treatment in these very pages, but I wanted to write something a little different.
Now, I spent 15 summers at Ranch Branch/Ranch Camp Longhorn/Camp Longhorn - Indian Springs which puts me squarely in second place at my house behind SHANNON’s 17 summers (though I do like to point out that my 26 terms eclipse her total number of terms), and so we often run into other CLH alums, and, judging by carnivals, V-Days, and bus drop-offs, it seems like all of them are sending new legacies to Camp every year.
As a long time camper and counselor, someone who is married to an even longer time camper and counselor, and a parent to a son who started as a Rattlesnake and daughter who started as a Pony, I think I am qualifi ed to offer some advice to those former campers and coun-selors who are about to send their kids off to Camp.
1. Your kids are in good hands, and they are going to have fun. When your fi rst camper gets on the bus for the fi rst time, you are going wonder what you were thinking shipping your precious child off to Burnet. Just remem-ber how much fun you had, and how happy you were to be there, and then rush home to continual-ly refresh the CLH Website until the Day 1 cabin pictures have been posted. After the fi rst couple of years you will get used to it, and when all of your kids are there at the same time, you are going to think, “Wow, the house is really quiet, and what am I go-
Here’s my advice to the parents of the new Legacies
JASON HARVEY
ing to do with all of this time.”
2. You are going to get far fewer letters than you think you should, and, especially if you have a boy, you might only get the letter that his counselor told him he had to write if he wanted to eat chow. Our son’s fi rst year, we did not get a letter until the end of the second week, and I had to call my mother and tell her that her grandson was paying me back for all the letters that I did not write her. Your only real option here is to pay your camper a set amount per letter received, but even that is not all that effective. You are just going to have to settle for the pictures posted on the CLH Website when it is your camper’s cabin’s turn to be featured on the Web site which will be every fourth of fi fth day. But, look on the bright side, your parents didn’t get any letters, and they did not get to see any pictures. They had to wait until V-Day to see your smiling face.
3. Once V-Day fi nally arrives,
you might even get up very early and fi nd yourself toward the front of a long line of cars. It is the same line of cars that used to make you wonder as a counselor, “Why would anyone get up so early just to wait in a line in a car for three hours.”
4. On V-Day, let your camper lead you to show you around camp. You know, or rather knew, Camp like the back of your hand, but archery has moved three times since you last drew a bow, and, even if it is in the same place as when you were last there, there is a fancy new concrete walkway that takes you a different way to get you there. So, when your Rattlesnake starts walking to the Water Park di-rectly from Boys’ Camp instead of all the way around the Upper Lake Darn, don’t tell him he is going the wrong way.
Once your camper gets back home, and as you start to talk about more Camp things with
your new campers, you will fi nd that there are other differences from when you were at Camp and how Camp is now. You will fi nd out that the older campers go to chow fi rst for every meal, and the younger campers only go fi rst on Backwards Day instead of the other way around. You will learn things like campers get a list of counselor names for Name Tha instead of having to come up with them on their own, and you fi nd out that no matter how many emails you send, SUSAN WILHELMI will not send you your camper’s Name Tha test.
You will also fi nd out that the Horntoad Cabin no longer exists, and even though you were his Horntoad counselor, and even though you remind him every V-Day, and even though he graciously plays along, MARK MANNING is not bringing the Horntoad Cabin back.
At some point, you will also learn that your campers will begin to roll their eyes when you tell them how things were when you were at Camp, but that is okay, keep telling them because
it keeps them and you talking about Camp, and everyone gets to enjoy the conversation be-cause the most important thing that you will learn is that you and your campers now have an amazing Camp Longhorn con-nection, and even though there are changes at Camp that had to be made whether due to growth in Camp size, or general prog-ress, or someone just came up with a better idea, you will learn that the essential Camp Long-horn spirit, attitude, and ideals that led you back to Burnet every summer and have led you to send your children there remain constant and continue to inspire the campers of today.
JASON HARVEY, what a well written and “fun to read” arti-cle! How true this wonderful in-formation is! What great advice to give to those former campers and counselors who are about to send their kids off to Camp! 1) Kids are in good hands and are going to have fun! 2) Fewer letters home will be written than anticipated! 3) V-day fi nds you in a long line of cars 3 hours
early! 4) Let your camper show you around camp even though you already know the way! You and SHANNON spent a total of 32 summers (15 JASON and 17 SHANNON) at camp and your ad-vice is worthy for all newcomers to read! Actually, it’s good read-ing for everyone!! JASON grew up in Wichita Falls. He and wife Indian Springs Alumni SHAN-NON ELLIOTT HARVEY live in Austin with their children ROSS (13) and 2017 will be his 6th year at Indian Springs and ELIZA-BETH (9) and 2017 will be her 3rd year at Indian Springs. JA-SON, a camper 8 years and coun-selor 7 years at Indian Springs is an Attorney and wife SHANNON is a teacher. JASON was a Camp-fi re Lighter 6 times and Name Tha Winner 6 times. Through the years he was a Division Head, Mr. SKI and Horseback Director. JASON graduated from the University of Texas in Austin. We thank you again, JASON, for your writing! What a great story!

What an honor and privi-lege to introduce SAMANTHA HOLMAN from Dallas and KATHRYN LIND ANDREWS from Keller as our newest ATT-AWAYTOGO recipients! These two young ladies have spent countless hours helping Camp Longhorn Inks Lake in so many ways for so many years there is not enough room to list all of their many contributions through the years.
They come every V-Day weekend to help ... no pay, just because they love CLH. They do most all of the interviews in the Girls Camp and Boys Camp, too, at the end of each term! And, it’s the little odd jobs they take on as the camps are getting ready for another term! The jobs are never too small or too big for them.

Marina Division! She was 4th Term, 1987 Favorite Counselor!
SAMANTHA grew up in a family of CLHers. Her Mom, SHARON LAWRENCE DRAK-EFORD and two of SHARON’S brothers were fi rst campers from Texarkana to go to camp. SAMANTHA’S Sister, ASH-LEY HOLMAN SIMPSON, was a camper and counselor as well, along with several cousins. ASHTON SIMPSON, SAMAN-THA’S nephew and the love of her life, will be able to attend camp beginning in 2018.
She grew up in Midland, went to Texas Tech and in 1990 moved to Philadelphia to work for a department head at the University of Pennsylvania. On to New York in 1993 where SAMANTHA worked for ELIZ-ABETH WILLIAMS, the Tony Award-winning Producer of Crazy for You for 3 1/2 years and worked on Moon over Buffalo starring CAROL BURNETT. In 1997, she went to work for GENE SHALIT at the Today Show and NBC. She was with him until he retired in 2010!
While still working for GENE, SAMANTHA moved back to Texas and after his re-tirement she began working for a private family in Midland and that’s what she has done ever since. She currently is happily working for a private family in Dallas. SAMANTHA is the proud Mom of three fur babies: MOO, BLADE and KATNISS!
After KATHRYN fi nished high school, it was on to Nurs-ing School. KATHRYN worked for a commercial lines insur-ance broker for 8 years, then on to the State of Texas where she met husband, GARY. They married in 1995.
From Austin then to Coppell and 16 years ago she and GARY moved to Keller and they live happily on 3 acres with a menagerie of animals including dogs, cats, chickens and hors-es!! In the summer when she is not helping at CLH, KATHRYN is camping!! She LOVES the out of doors and GARY pur-chased a beautiful 5th wheel for her last summer to enjoy her outings even more!
She and GARY have 3 children .. AUSTIN (31) her Stepson, FORREST (19) and LAUREN (16) and LAUREN has attended CLH 1st term every summer since 2010. This com-ing summer she will be a Junior Counselor at Inks Lake!
After her marriage to GARY, KATHRYN became a “stay at
home” Mom .. She says it’s the hardest job ever, but oh so fulfi lling! “Wouldn’t trade a moment of it for anything” she says! KATHRYN is an 8 year breast cancer survivor.
These two gals are “TOP NOTCH” in our opinion and we are so proud of their wonderful help every summer. SAMAN-THA and KATHRYN, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such loyalty and hard (but fun) work you’all do for us! LOVE and ATTAWAYTOGO!
ATTAWAYTOGO!SAMANTHA & KATHRYN!
