driver extraordinaire

Eric Blum is back for his usual month-long stay as a volunteer. (He's amazing. This is his entire annual vacation.) Tonight at dinner he mildly complained that I haven't put up a new blog entry every day (he checks the blog every day when he's home in Charlottesville). "Well," I responded, "the total number of July entries far exceeds the numbers of days." "But you've done these in flurries. I like something new every day." Ah well, ya can't please FV addicts.

One entry I cannot believe I've missed so far mentioned another alumnus who is volunteering here this summer - all summer. And that's Dave Lockwood. Dave (English by birth) came as an international counselor sometime in the '90s, met his wife here (now former), got married here, was a camp director in his time, and has been on and off active with the Alumni Association and in organizing the 1990s generation through Facebook.

And he, like Eric, has taken his vacation to be here and help here. He does a lot of driving (adventure trips, hospital runs, etc.) and is very generous about it. The photo above here shows Dave (at right). Thanks, Dave.
