sister counselors

Never before in the history of Frost Valley have there been siblings serving as counselor and junior counselor assigned to the same cabin. Am I right? Please tell me if there is a precedent. In this instance, we have sisters - indeed, daughters of an alumnus, Peter Boyd - as C/JC in cabin 21 in Pokey. They are Sarah (JC) and Elizabeth (C) Boyd. And what a combo they are. I played Geronimo with Pokey, Totem and the youngest Mac kids (who are housed in two cabins) and loved seeing the kids' wonderfully positive response to the Boyd sisters.

A note from John Butler asserts--correctly, to be sure--that I am wrong about the Boyd sisters being first. "Joel and Court Ambrosino were co-counselors in Outpost, Cabin Infinity [#8] in 2002 (I think this was the year) session 3 or 4. Court was a JC, and Joel was the HC. Their other brother Ben was the assistant Program Director then too (or maybe even Program Director...)." Ben did work full-year at FV and spent at least one summer as Program Director, yes.
