Frank DeGraw grew up in Grahams- ville, or nearby. He went to high school with the White kids and the Brown kids and fell in with the "Brown boys" and eventually, when he came just of age, worked here at FV weekends through the fall, winter and spring. Soon he joined the summer camp staff and was a counselor in Totem and, I believe later, was a VC (just after my time in the late 80s). He moved to Japan many years ago, met and married his wife there, and has two daugters.Last session his daughter, Anna Kikuchi-DeGraw was here in Lakota cabin 44, and loved it. It's not an easy matter for Frank to arrange to send his daughter to camp in upstate New York while the family resides in Tokyo! In fact I'd guess that among former staff who send their kids here he's probably managed the longest distance.
Eric Blum remembered Frank for his own first years here (starting '86) and we had an impromptu reunion in the dining hall last Friday. There's a littler Kikuchi-DeGraw who was jealous of her older sister and will wind up here one day soon.
In Japan, Frank is a teacher.
