In Memory of Rich Hoffmann

In honor of the memory of Rich Hoffmann, today's post asks you to remember the many times you each spent with Rich, Vicki & Mitch whether at camp or elsewhere. I know I will always remember "Camp Linda Kwa" the year that Vicki & Rich celebrated Rich's birthday the same day as camp. Vicki gave Rich a trip around the Indy 500 race track in a race car!! He was so thrilled, and we all loved hearing about it. Another good memory I recall is from camp when Jean Sherfick was expecting Everett and was about 7 months pregnant. In the camp photo album you can see Jean & Rich standing belly to belly comparing who has the greater girth. Such fun! The end of camp is another moment which always makes me think of Rich. It's that time when the mess hall is empty and leftover food is stacked outside on picnic tables. We are waiting for the DNR folks to come do the check-out inspection. Inside the mess hall, Rich and Mitch are mopping. At this point at camp it is time to say good-bye until next year. Good-bye, Rich, until we meet again.
