another chip off the block

Yes, another daughter of a former camper and staffer is here this summer. Rachel Eisenhauer, a counselor in Sacky and before that longtime camper here, is the daughter of Steve Eisenhauer and 1960s/early 70s lifer (and alumna activist from the late 80s to the present) Sue Ettelman Eisenhauer. Everyone from the 1971-73 era or so will remember Sue for her intense involvement in what I'd very positively call "Girls' Camp culture," something that might sound--as a phrase--trivial but was definitely a deep thing. One of those moments when you just "had to be there" to understand its effect. Here's a photo of Rachel I took yesterday along with her brother-village buddy, Remy Bernstein. Below is a photo of the Ettelman/Eisenhauer clan taken a few years ago at the Geyer Hall dedication. Sue is at bottom left.
