Last Will and Testament Trinity
Church Camp
Written and witnessed in Barnstead, Strafford County, New Hampshire on this, the twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand, nine hundred, and Sixty-Four. We, the staff of Trinity Church Camp, 1964, being of sound mind and body, and having certain possessions, material and otherwise, which we wish to dispose of, do hereby proclaim this to be our last will and testament. John Marshall leaves his steady hand to "Scratch Streeter" and his punctualness to the Senior Staff. Guy Doran leaves his "tan" to Mr. Taylor and his undying loyalty to the kitchen to the Bobsey Twins of Camp Trinity, Chris Corley and Chris Wade. Mr. Frazier leaves his fishing pole and fishing license to Mr. Bob Zolner. If silence is a virtue, then Mr. Frazier is one step closer to heaven and he will leave some of his quietness to Alan Mann. Mr. Shattuck leaves his "soft voice" to Bill Crowell. Next he leaves his dining hall position to Mark Merenda who claimed he never had enough to eat -- after seconds. Mr. Crowell leaves his blond(?) hair to Tommy Golito and his passion for Madras clothes to David Patey. His pleasant disposition is left to Rick Herbig. Mr. Marks leaves his gapping height to John Sands, his "HUH" to Jimmy Storer and his happy-go-lucky grin to Bobbie Logan. (He would also like to leave camp with Bruce Barrett -- and Bruce's sister!) Mr. Marvin leaves his good looks to the Idlepines exchange group. That includes you Steve Wagoner, Karl Van Patten, and Steve Wiegand! Next he leaves his "Stevie Wonder Drums" to Bud Marvel. He leaves his conscientious work habits to Jimmie Chilton. Mr. Pollina leaves three, free organ lessons to "One-Note-Burton." He leaves his craft shop in the capable hands of the Braves Engineering Corps., headed by John Hobart and Lorne Howlett. He leaves his natural artistic and dramatic talents to Walter Faxon. Mr. Jim Zolner leaves camp wondering what happened to the Red Flops . . er, Red Sox. He leaves the dining hall to Tommy Blake. He leaves his speed, cheerfulness, and efficiency to John Greene. "Ralph" leaves with a small part of all of us, we are sure. Goodbye, Ralph, wherever you are. Mr. Reeves leaves his truck driving and his driver's license -- if he has one -- to Charley Campbell. He leaves "Ralph" to Rickey Umlah. Finally he leaves his flare for organization and his robust personality to Jimmy Climo. Mr. Clarke promises he won't leave camp for four weeks next year. He leaves his sense of serious application and self-discipline on the rifle range to Steve Judge. Mr. Burton leaves his "rain-rope" to Laird Boles. He leaves Nitasha to Miss Wilson with which to make sick calls. Finally, he leaves his spirit and versatility to Jimmy Gosnell. Mr. Mosher leaves Camp every other Saturday for Lynnfield. Aside from that, he leaves is "map" of Parker Mountain and his hiking points to Greg and Bruce Bline. Last, he leaves his all-around camping ability to the little fireballer, Rickey Mehlinger. Mr. Bob Zolner leaves some food for the rest of the people at his table. Next, he leaves all the water-logged baseballs he socked into the lake to Don Bustin. Finally, he leaves his quiet but efficient way of getting things done to Peter Shepherd. Mr. Blair leaves the "Barge," motor boat to Russell Moore for his private Yacht, to take his evening spin after supper. He leaves his sweatshirt he stole from "Chince" Burton to Jim Pollina. He leaves his sincerity for "genuine" camping, and his desire to help when needed to Steve Lawson. Mr. Miller leaves his booming voice to Harry Johnstone and his Norelco Electric Shaver (which he never used) to Terry Wade. His last gift -- the true Camp Trinity Spirit -- he leaves to Woody Pier. Mr. Taylor leaves the waterfront in the capable hands of George Zeolla. He leaves his "Mr. Clairol" title and a jar of mustard to Steve Ladd. Last, he leaves an example of how things should be done on the waterfront to Bill Bailey. Mr. Nazaro leaves his Volkswagen to the "Speedy Bunker Boys," Teddy and David, so that they will not be the last ones over the knoll in the morning. He leaves his stern, aggressive manner and a job well done to Alan Howarth. Miss Wilson will leave on a well-deserved "day-off" if all the Chiefs manager to survive the last day of Camp. Lastly, she leaves some of her hearty smile and bright disposition to everyone so that they too can make someone's day a little brighter. Mrs. Rogers leaves all her special desserts to Chris Murdock in the hopes that he will find one that he likes. After Camp, she will leave and forward all her recipes to Betty Crocker. The entire staff, especially the Gibsons, leave all the campers their best wishes for future health and happiness. _____________________ |
