Thanks to everyone that has sent checks for the reunion. Keep 'em coming!

When I fix things around the house, I try to do as good a job as Dusty did. Maybe better! Thanks to all who made this website possible. It is a lot of work. Maybe at the reunion, somebody will record some of the songs and post them. Love to all you wonderful people out there.

Thanks to Margaret Lebens Nunez for contributing 21 more MWL pictures from 1980, 1981 and the 1995 reunion. You can see them by "jumping" the slideshow to 1980 and 1995. If anyone else has any pictures to contribute, please send me email. Enjoy the memories.

"Look to the sky above and see the clouds on high as they go drifting by..."la la la. Do you remember the camp songs?
I think of them all the time. I continue to love to swim, sail, and canoe. I think of Martha Steinman and Mary Belfer. Where are you? I plan to make the trip in August. Barbara Martin Smith

Okay you guys count me in for this summer! I would not miss it for anything. I stumbled upon the site while trying to find words to one of the old camp songs. Imagine my surprise! There is nothing like those memories.

Kat Schneider-Clark January 24, 2006 22:29:19 (EDT)

Wow. I am blown away...and sooo excited. I remember so many of the faces on the photos...so many of the names. How thrilling. I so hope to be at the reunion. Sending hugs to all the MWL campers, staff and the Hannas.

Thanks to Craig Wallace for his MWL pictures from the 70s. You can see them by "jumping" the slideshow to the 1970s. If anyone else has any pictures to contribute, please send me email. Enjoy the memories.

Wow....WOW! Amazing how 25 years can drop away. Now if only the pounds accumulated over those years would do the same! ;-)

Looking forward to renewing old friendships, and hope to make it to the reunion in August. Thanks to all for setting this up - who's better than you are?!

Frankie Bressman Egan November 29, 2005 22:03:11 (EDT)

This is so great! Thanks to everyone who has been involved. MWL was such a important part of who I am. I noticed several people in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Maybe we can get together. Send me an email.

Tucker November 28, 2005 14:56:38 (EDT)

Well, I guess I've officially reverted back to 'Tucker', and glad for it - I've been a grown up too long :)

Thank you again to Steve Klein for the web site and for knowing and appreciating all things camp!

Thanks Kendra McConnell for mailing our first Breeze. Please let me know if you didn't receive it and we can double check addresses.

Please give some thought towards helping to hunt down old MWL friends. Just let your fingers do the googling! So many are still unaccounted for and we want as many as possible to know of the reunion!

Becky Manning Scaletta November 22, 2005 19:32:04 (EDT)

What a ball I have had looking over this site and pictures with my children. Did we really dress like that? What a labor of love, Tucker. Thank you so much.

See you all in August.

My cousin Ellen sent me to this site! It's great to see the old pictures. I still have all of the photo books from my six years at Minne Wonka, but not much else! Our family still vacations in Boulder Junction, WI every summer. I'm hoping that I can make it to the reunion as I'd love to see you all! I drove by Minne Wonka this summer and was sad to see that much of the camp is unrecognizable. But it still took me back to those wonderful summers!

Julie Hayward Armstrong November 11, 2005 16:49:48 (EDT)

This was wonderful to see all this! Thank you Tucker. I lost all my addresses, etc. years ago so I haven't really been able to connect with anyone (except Kendra and Nancy!) over the years! I still cherish those days and hope to make the reunion...! So many of you had a great influence on me and you probably don't even know it--so many thanks a bit late!

Joanne Sexton Rhodes November 9, 2005 15:26:52 (EDT)

This was so much fun to look at. I was there in 1977 and 1978 on the waterfront and totally lost track of the camp. When and why did it close down? I will try to locate Leslie Pampush and Sheree Scarbrough they were there in 77 and 78 and send their addresses to you. I still have the canoeist award I earned. I think I can still do a straight mile. Later, Jo

Denise Meckler November 8, 2005 17:54:14 (EDT)

I have so many memories of my 7 years at MWL and can't wait to meet up with everyone again. My 6 year old son knows all of the songs from, Blue Skies, Goodnight Song, Spiders's Web, Barges, Pow wow. etc. Thanks for putting this together. Anyone living in St. Louis? Give me a call. (314)576-3936.

Jane O'Neil Fleming November 6, 2005 15:55:37 (EDT)

Thank you so much Tucker for putting all of this together. I sit here with my youngest - Hanna (without the h on the end in honor of Mr. and Mrs.), and get kind of sad that I can't send she and her older sister to MWL. But - then comes the reunion information, and I know that I can at least share a piece of it with them. It is so great to look back at the pictures and recapture all the wonderful memories again. Not only have I pulled out all my old photo albums and memory books; but the video from the '95 reunion is awesome! Can't wait for the '06 reunion! Thanks to all who made the trip up north this summer to plan. Love to everyone!!! Jane

Hannah Strasser November 4, 2005 09:45:07 (EDT)

Just got our mailing and have spent the morning looking at pictures. We have the date on the calendar and can't wait. Hope to see everyone there. Lisa, our middle daughter's name is Haley Tucker Greenberg - you rock. Hannah
