For a few years in the early 1980s we had (in the first session of the summer) a special "Hemlock" that consisted of campers who signed up for various sports specialty villages - gymnastics, soccer, and basketball. Here are the gymnastics folks from '81. That's Kathy Bell on the shoulders of the kindly and mighty Jersey Cityan, Mike Ford. To Kathy's left (our right) is the legendary John Paul Thomas, special gymnastics 
instructor that summer but a long-time FV guy (came in '67 or '68 and ran archery, was a VC, later came back to work fulltime for several years, in two stints, as FV's conference director, played a wonderful guitar). To Kathy's right (our left) is the specialty village VC, Tom Franzkowiak, of Germany (who was also a fabulously successful VC of Forest). In the front row (doing splits), fourth from our right, in the glasses, is Jenny Brown - Halbe and Jane's daughter. This photo comes to us courtesy of Bill Abbott - who was in that village, on the soccer end. The soccer coach was Eugene Orbaker.
