don't play bombardment against these guys

Dave Mager and Brian Butler.

My son, then a Pac camper, learned to play Shoe Golf from Brian Butler and talks about it to this day as if it were some kind of spiritual experience. (Perhaps it was.)

What? You don't know how to play Shoe Golf? Well, ask Butler and he'll explain.

One day a few summers ago, I was standing with these two guys after lunch, just outside the dining hall. I felt like a Frost Valley grandfather. (I think I'm remembering this rightly.) Brian, when a young camper, had Dave as a counselor. Dave, when a young camper, had me as his Camp Director. What does that make me to Brian?

Well, a brother, really--because we're all in this together.
