Joyful Noise…

There can be little doubt that during the month of May, when Louis, Briggs, Andy Joe, Noah and I were up at camp without anyone else around, it is a particularly beautiful and refreshing place.  Long isolated walks through the camp are a highlight of that time of year and we all truly enjoy them. But we all…
