[Oe List ...] The Hahn sisters

I'm assuming that Carlos is remembering the measures that we all had to take after many in the camp succumbed to shigella, a truly awful bacteria that caused diarrhea.  The local or state health department ended up quarantining the entire camp.  Carlos and Kathy were in the difficult position of running that camp.  One of the things they did was to organize three cleaning crews that worked non-stop every day for what seemed like an eternity.  The three leaders assigned to head up the cleaning crews were Charles Benson, Gene ("Anthony" at the time) Boivin, and myself.  Carlos picked out names for each crew:  "Benson's Army" (excellent name - they even made up a little song that they marched around to), "Boivin's Bowl Cleaners" (very apropos), and "Hahn's Hoppers" (clearly, dear Carlos was getting thin on inspiration by the time he got to naming my crew, but I have forgiven him).  I remember wiping down every square inch of tables and chairs with bleach
 solution, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, and so on.  That, along with many other efforts performed by staff, along with medication, got us through and everyone recovered.  That was one icky, sicky, hot summer!  But Carlos really provided great leadership, as I recall.  I also remember Kate Ward, who was amazingly entertaining with her turtle imitation, and kept the kids engaged.

I'm blushing.  Carlos is very kind, but all credit for good Hahn family leadership at camp New Jerusalem must go to my dear sister.  I (and I must admit I'm thankful!) was in England at the time of the great shigella epidemic of '72.

>For the record, during my project management courses I still talk about Shelley and Marsha and what they and a few others did during the dread disease at the New Jerusalem. I use it to illustrate the fact that good leadership has no age requirements. I pray that both teams come out with no major injuries since God does not have favorites. If the Colts win, I will drink my victory champagne on your behalf.

I can't rival the World Cup, since there are so many teams competing within the country, so it doesn't build up to one team against the world. But this year, with New Orleans doing so well against the odds, it is quite exciting.
