Waboos Celebrated at Memorial Ceremony
Over 300 people braved the fury of Tropical Storm Irene to attend the memorial ceremony for Waboos Hare on August 28, 2011. For nearly an hour and half that Sunday morning, the Keewaydineesi in attendance forgot about the wind and the rain engulfing the state and, instead, focused on honoring their beloved Camp Director.
As alumni from the 1930s to the 2000s gathered inside the Multi-House, there was a clear sense of the magnitude of this event. Bill MacArdle’s beautiful Keewaydin medley on the violin was the backdrop as people greeted each other and settled in. Over the course of the morning, those in attendance smiled, cried, laughed and listened intently to the stories shared by many who had been profoundly influenced by Waboos.
Chris Nevin, who officiated the service, began by remembering
Waboos visiting his home when he was a boy and giving his famous slide presentation. As was the case with so many other such visits, the boy was “sold” immediately on Keewaydin and Waboos. He explained how Waboos was his inspiration to go into teaching, to the extent that he even bought, as his teaching shoes, the same style shoes Waboos used to wear from L.L. Bean (known simply to most Keewaydineesi as “Boos” shoes).
Peter Hare spoke of Waboos’s gift for inspiring loyalty in his staff and Laurie Hare talked about his special attachment to the Wiantinaug circle where Keewaydineesi past and present have shared common experiences that bind Keewaydineesi together.
The Summer of 2011
Before we arrived at camp in June, we knew that this would be a different Keewaydin summer: for the first time in eighty eight years Keewaydin would be without Waboos Hare. With the exception of the brand new campers,

Summer of 2011continued from page 1
none of us knew Keewaydin without Waboos being there! What would this be like? Would camp feel different?
Well, camp did feel different. We missed visiting Waboos in the Hare House. We missed seeing him on the Dining Hall porch after meals. We missed his smile, we missed his glow. But it was still good. In fact, it was still great. Largely because of the legacy that Waboos left, it was still the camp that we all have grown to love. It was, indeed, another very happy Keewaydin summer.
The summer began with a celebration of Waboos’s life at camp. On July 2, the first Sunday of camp, we had a “Waboos Hare Celebration Day.” The day began with the raising of a “Waboos 1923” flag, which we flew from the flagpole throughout the summer. Later that morning at Sunday Circle, Pete Hare, Owen Gutfreund, Red Dows, Larry Hayes, Ron Cannell, Steve Patch, Colin Ahearn, Jack Waring, Mike Vorenberg and others shared memories of Waboos. Moosalamoo camper, Harry Halem read a poem. Every camper and staff brought a pebble to Sunday Circle which symbolized their memories of Waboos. After the Circle, the entire camp spread out across the main waterfront from Moosalamoo to Wiantinaug and, at the same time, tossed their “memory” pebbles into Lake Dunmore to rest safely for generations to come. In the afternoon, we had an old-fashioned old staff versus new staff softball game, with each staffman sporting a “Waboos 23” baseball jersey. In the evening, at the Kicker Campfire, we played a game of Waboos trivia and lighted special green candles in his memory.
Every Keewaydin summer is a memorable one, but several things stand out about the summer of 2011. This was the biggest year ever for the wilderness program. We sent out three trips with a total of twenty-six campers, all but one a veteran of the Verendrye. Ben Cordero and Sam Brakeley led ten trippers to the Eastmain River, while Peter Wright and Bill Souser took ten others to the Peribonka River. Paul Jacobs and Ben Beck led six young men on a thirty-eight day exploratory trip called “Wilderness North”, a graduate level trip designed for boys who had already been on one wilderness trip and were looking for more adventure in the far north. The trip, which began on the Labrador plateau, headed north towards Ungava Bay. Much of the territory they paddled through had never been traveled by any trip group.
Back in camp, we enjoyed ideal weather, with plenty of sunshine and

hardly any mosquitoes! Activity bustled from the start. Kayaking enjoyed another spectacular season. With Ron Cannell running the program, more campers and staff than ever became competent paddlers. Rock climbing also enjoyed a great season. With John Zink in charge and ably assisted by Brian Merrill and Andy Scott, more trips were sent to the Falls of Lana cliffs than in years past. Paul Schmidt returned to help run the Moos ADK rock-climbing trip and Sean MacCardle helped lead several day trips. And there was plenty of hiking on Moosalamoo, with three campers and three staff earning their “All Trails.” Special events always spice up the summer. This year’s Fourth of July celebration gave Keewaydin campers their first viewing of the spectacular new Fraser Dining Hall. At the Carnival, the most popular concessions involved getting wet, especially the “Slippy Slide” on the Wiantinaug Ballfield and the tube rides behind the Keewaydin motorboat. And it seemed like everyone enjoyed a cup of Spam Fried Rice!
The August Round-Up had “tried and true” activities like mural painting and some new ones like “speed dating.” Old Timers Day had an epic Hi-Jinks with the Odyssey as the theme, complete with lotus-eaters, sirens, a Cyclops and a chariot race.
At the Banquet we honored Mike Pelke with his ten-year jacket and Larry Hayes and Stephanie Sack with their twenty-year canoes! The Frolics had many memorable moments, chief among them Jacob Sorkin and Ethan Fuirst’s “Myth Busters” and Igor’s “Mr. Postman”.
The stories of our memories of the summer of 2011 will be told for years.Will you remember these?
• The fish that Steve Clodgo pulled in barehanded and displayed in the dining hall?
• Colin Ahearn and Tommy Hyde’s spoof of a Songadeewin trip at the Frolics?
• The look on Pete’s face when the Auk appeared on stage and “Keewaydineesi” was replaced with “Everybody Dance Now”?
• An Annwi camper (Michael D’Agostino) winning the all-camp Knock Out game at the Basketball Extravaganza?
• The Wilderness North Trippers returning with canoes full of caribou racks?
• Mudjekeewis’s dramatic entrance at the Four Winds ceremony?
• Spit Spitter making his “around the world” hocker?
Keewaydin campers and staff lined the shore to toss their memory stones into Lake Dunmore.

Steven Gay ‘61 gave a moving speech (see excerpt pg. 7 ) in which he credited Keewaydin and Waboos for making him the man his is today. Most touching and memorable of all, was Abby Fenn (see excerpt pg 6. ), who spoke of the history of their remarkable forty-year partnership and friendship.
The service concluded with the singing of “Camping at Dunmore” (written by Waboos), “I’ll Not Grow Too Old To Dream,” and the “Keewaydin Hymn”. Waboos would have been proud of the emotion and gusto with which the participants sang (not to mention the tempo and pitch!).
The service celebrated the life that Waboos lived at Keewaydin. Through the heartfelt words of those who spoke and the warm camaraderie felt by all present, it was clear that Waboos’s spirit lives on at Keewaydin.

~ Excerpts from Abby Fenn’s Eulogy ~
Abby Fenn, Associate Director of Dunmore from 1946 to 1986, speaks of his partner, Waboos Hare, at the Memorial Service on August 28, 2011.
Waboos was the perfect director to heal whatever wounds were left: first from having to fire the camp’s founder, Gregg Clarke, and then, second, from the sudden departure of the legendary Sid Negus...
Most crucial for the camp was Waboos’s talent for reaching out in friendship and team building to everyone: staff, campers, parents, and alumni...Christmas became an especially busy time for the new director. With only a part-time secretary, the camp to fill, staff to hire, school to teach, eventually a family to take care of, and on top of this he had 3000 Christmas cards to mail. From his 20 summers at camp, Waboos was acquainted with almost half of the alumni, and he was penning a personal note in about 100 of them. No wonder the cards were regularly about a week late, especially if he took time to make his notes legible. But no matter. The alumni was on its way back with joyous enthusiasm and support...
No question, Waboos had a genius for recognizing long-gone Keewaydineesi, as so many of them began dropping by. We all know examples. I’ll mention just one. Jack Glennie started as a camper in 1958 and went on to join the staff for a year or two. Perhaps fifteen years later he stopped by for a visit. “Hi Waboos,” he said, “you probably don’t remember me, I’m Jack Glennie.” Waboos replied, “Of course I remember you, Jack Glennie! And do you have any of that good ice cream your parents used to bring?”...
When we bought the camp, a friend warned us that as team of three, we would sooner or later have differences of opinion, which could lead to hard feelings, anger and even becoming enemies. Waboos and I worked together 40 years, and only once did I get angry with him. That was all-in 40 years.
On the last day of my last summer, I found on my desk from this man, who was dubbed by the American Camping Association The Dean of American Camping, the following note on a small, used scrap of paper which I still treasure.

~ Excerpt from Steven Gay’s (‘56) speech at the Waboos Memorial ~
Steven Gay was a Dunmore camper from 1956 to 1961. He and his wife, Judy, recently established the Stearns and Barbara Gay Scholarship Fund to provide summer camp opportunities at Dunmore and Songadeewin to children of Bristol, Vermont.
Waboos made an instant impression on me when I first arrived at camp. Bingo, he knew my name just like that! But Waboos was a lot more than a man with a good memory. He had that uncanny knack of looking right into you, trying to see what made you tick, maybe provoking you a little bit to find that key to get you going. I gotta’ confess he made me a little nervous because I was afraid that he could see how average I was. But if he did, he never let on. Over those six summers and later, I also came to realize that Keewaydin wasn’t a business to Waboos. It was his profession and even more
so, his passion. You want to tell if an organization has a great leader? Take a good look at the product it puts out. And my gosh, Waboos put out one amazing product!...
Waboos was a very, very clever man. Think about this: He had us campers all thinking we had come to Keewaydin to canoe, hike, swim, and trip. Years later we realized that wasn’t the point at all. Those things were just a means to an end. That end was the life education that took place: Helping the other fellow, pulling your weight on a team, finding something you liked and doing your best with it, competing fairly and squarely, winning and losing with equal grace. And above all, tackling a good, healthy challenge to build your confidence. That’s life prep 101, 201, 301 and 401, folks. And you won’t get that kind of education even at our best colleges...
Finally, as I prepared these thoughts, I tried to put myself in Waboos’ shoes. What would he want from us today? A bunch of speeches heaping praise on him? I doubt that, though he’s going to get plenty of those and deservedly so. No, my sense is that the best way we can honor his memory is to commit ourselves to keep precious Keewaydin and its spirit alive as it moves toward the two hundred year mark. And I can almost see Waboos putting down his pipe and getting that wry look on his face and saying: “Well, yes, but you’re not going to stop at 200 years, are you?” No we’re not, Waboos, no we’re not.

Chris Nevin (‘74) wrote the following poem and read it aloud at the Waboos Memorial on August 28
To an elegiac whiTe rabbiT
And so a time has passedWhen the return of a man, time and time againCould be tallied against the lengthening tides of all our livesWhen the constancy of change was tempered by theSoothing surety of one man in his rightful place
And so a time has come and goneWhen the rhythms of routine and toilCould be altered by his broad smileWhen the music of fellowship and camaraderieRang through the rafters under his buoyant direction
And so a time has arrivedWhen the northwest wind carries a mournful cry‘Cross Dunmore’s field of blueWhen the history of a man hasentered the waved and eddied stories of time’s rapid embrace
This time now fades from our viewThis past must lie in the etherealMust reside in the relic’dMust be tensed as this man is no more
And yet, with this man, some greater part has slipped from death’s graspSome transcendent light crests the ridge of Moosalamoo under Waban’s gentle guidance
For if ever a breeze could linger beyond its earthly boundsIt would be this breezeIf ever a voice could rise above a greensward of sylvan idyllIt would be this voiceIf ever past joys could fill present spacesIt would be these joysIf ever in the shade of one man’s plantings those of us whom remain could prosper and growIt would be this shade
So now we gather in his shade, all the wiser, all the more compassionateNow we pause to consider the right way to live, the right way to passNow we embrace, hold tight and dear, the love of a man, a place, an ideaNow we act in concerted ways to stretch those memories and acts across broad plateausToward even broader horizonsOf time and locus, amidst and among the hearts and minds of fellow travelersWhether that journey be kneeling in the bow of a canoe for the first time Or seeing the possible instead of the probableWhether that journey be a brief sojourn on a placid pondOr an epic travail through the woods of the far northNow we live and breathe that legacy, today and forevermore
And tomorrow, tomorrow we wake an enriched and ennobled peopleKeewaydineesi evermore, zing, boom, ta-ra-rel

Expedition 2012: Paddling Forward, Giving Back
In the spring of 2012, ten Keewaydin staff will head from the shores of Lake Dunmore and paddle to Lake Temagami in Ontario, Canada and then on to James Bay. In addition to having the adventure of their lives, they plan to raise money to support scholarships at Keewaydin. They are calling their trip Expedition 2012. Johnny Clore and Bill Souser, two of the trip’s organizers, describe the trip, the planning, the goals and the journey.
What comes to mind when you think of summers at camp? Perhaps you carry a few favorite memories: a trip to Lake George, a campfire under the stars - maybe even a particularly grueling portage. Or maybe a single memory does insufficient justice to the whole of the camping experience and how it’s changed you, or to the ways you’ve felt Keewaydin magic - at once powerful and intangible - at work in your life. Maybe it is this broader impact, alive in Keewaydin’s philosophy of “Help the Other Fellow,” which infuses your daily life with an ethic of helpfulness and responsibility - one that has long outlasted your brief, precious summers at camp.
Expedition 2012 is an effort designed to honor both the experiences and the values that camp has given its community, using wilderness canoe tripping as a platform to help many boys benefit from Keewaydin’s impact for generations to come. The fulfillment of this vision has become the work of ten Keewaydin staffmen who have all committed a year of their lives to the project. This

commitment is based on three distinct goals: first, honoring and enhancing Keewaydin’s rich history of tripping; secondly, heightening awareness of ongoing environmental issues in Vermont and in Canada; and finally - and most importantly - extending the transformative Keewaydin experience to new campers through scholarship funding.
In the service of these goals, the coming year will be filled with both physical work and fundraising. The crew will set about building wood canvas canoes for the trip, working
off of a new form designed specifically for this venture. At the same time, they’ll be making special wangans big enough to hold the trip’s substantial supplies. They will map out campsites and plan their resupplies. They will research portage trails and rapid sets. Most importantly, they will be dedicated to establishing a new endowed scholarship at Keewaydin, as well as providing on-going scholarship support through the Annual Fund.
The actual itinerary of the trip has the crew paddling out of Lake Dunmore in the spring of 2012 as soon as the ice clears, eventually making their way to Otter Creek and into Lake Champlain. From there they will cross into Canada, paddling around Montreal and onto the Ottawa River, where they will push upstream for around 300 miles. Off of the Ottawa, they will cross Lake Temiskaming and follow the

traditional “Trip in” to reach Lake Temagami. From Temagami, they will portage into the Abitibi River and follow it downstream for nearly 350 miles before finally reaching James Bay at Moosonee. From start to finish, they will cover more than 1100 miles of paddling and portaging over the course of nine weeks.
The success of a venture on this scale depends on the generosity of the Keewaydin community. Expedition 2012 has already been blessed by considerable generosity of time and resources that have given the project its start. Now the crew is reaching out to all Keewaydineesi with an appeal to help their mission come to fruition. Fundraising for the project is already officially underway, and donations to the Keewaydin Foundation can be specified for Expedition 2012. Please consider making a gift that will help extend your treasured Keewaydin experience to a new generation of Keewaydineesi.
Keewaydinly,
