As for question about Spiderman, that was me later on, although I wasn't the one in 1969.
In 1972 Bill Kampfer, Doug Brodmerkle and I were part of a stunt where spray painted Day-Glo orange troll footprint trails on the floors of loading docks and program shelters, particularly in the rival Chief's Camp. I think it was either 1972 or 1973 when we revived giant binders twine
spider webs that covered entire program shelters. BTW, the secret was to prepare them staked out on the ground in
advance and pack them in a garbage bag like a parachute. This allowed them to placed quickly anywhere in the middle of the
night.
Other stunts where loading Walt Bailey's VW on the loading dock of the
Council House dining hall by first stealing it and driving it onto the commissary
loading dock (which had a ramp at one end and a garage door in the middle)
and transporting on the back of the stake truck up to the dining hall
loading dock (which had neither ramp) and leaving it there with no
discernable way to get it off.
Then of course where the ambushes of the heater stack wagons with Indian
pumpers and "dum-dum" arrows (blunt rubber tipped things for
action archery.)
Thanks again for the memories.

In
1969, the Long House kitchen staff prepared an enemies list, well before
Nixon popularized the concept. Anyone who crossed them was likely to end
up on the dreaded "Hobart List", with the threat of being run
through the Hobart dishwasher. Well, somehow I ended up on the list, so I
felt the list needed a vacation at the Teddy Roosevelt shelter. Take a
look and see how many of the names you remember.
