your Outpost VC, unique but ever the same

Alex Draper came to us from England last summer, one in a long long long line of British folks who have made the visit and fallen in love with these rounded blue-green mountains the Yanks have not quite even now settled. Draper last summer was especially adept as a counselor in Outpost. Modest yet very funny, soft-spoken but able to get 11 and 12-year-old boys to follow him anywhere, and a wonderful musician (as we learned at Hirdstock). Well, a guy like that - this has happened so many times before - just had to find his way back to the valley. And so he did. Back again. This time, naturally, as a VC: Outpost again. He's done a fine job. Nice guy. And so game. Yesterday, Outpost joined the super-creative Peter Owen for a session and came out all goopy and fooded. I joined Alex for dinner and saw little bits of something (msrshmellow?) plugging up his ear. I had to get a photo to show you, my bloggy readers. So here, if you will, is our guy Alex Draper. Say hello to him, please!
