This shows the Covey Program area staff at
the end of 1972. On the left is Glenn Reid the APC, in the middle is Jerry
Gress who joined us as a Program Aide for the second half of the summer
when Doug Brodmerkle became APC in James E. West, and myself on the right.
Notice the uniforms which were unique to Nassau County Council. All staff members wore the
dark green Explorer shirt so we could easily be recognized in a camp with 1200 campers.

Doug Brodmerkle standing next to one
of the two fires we just built for the visitors day campfire. The program area staffs
rotated this task. The fires need to be this large as the stage was a good 100 feet
across. |

Tribe's camp PC's losing a canoe tug
of war to the Scoutmasters. Doug is subbing for me as I had an injured arm
due to a truck
accident a week or so earlier, hence I got to stay dry and take the photos. |
