These fine men are Jerry Martin (Executive Director), Steve Thompson (Chairman of the Board), and Jeremy White (Camp Director). We've introduced Jerry and Jeremy of course but Steve is the one in the center. He is now the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Camp Lurecrest. They came up last week to decide which direction they wanted to go as far as replacing the tent. The options were either sew the old tent up (which seemed to be questionable as to whether it could be done right, build a permanent shelter (which costs more $ and takes a while), purchase a new tent, purchase a carport (ewww), or just go without (which would be lame). They decided on getting a new tent since we already had the poles and the other tent worked so well.
This was the scene of the devastation that was incurred by the wind storm we had about a month ago. The tent as we mentioned before was torn to shreds.
This is Charles Barrett who worked on staff here the summer of 2005 as a counselor in Dorm 1B. Jerry commonly refers to him as "Popeye". He came up to help us out here this week before he moves on to a job in Raleigh, where he went to school at NC State. He's been a blessing to have up here and helped us get this new tent up so we thought we'd give him some props.
New Tent baby... the white looks so much classier than the yellow too... we're back in business.
