Many of our old time campers remember my parents, Tom and Grace. You haven't seen much of them in recent years due to poor health. 2008 was the beginning of a new era for me (Kathy). Daddy passed away on August 6, 2008 at the age of 96. My Mom still lives in the log house on the north east side of the park. February 2010 she will celebrate her 95th birthday. For all the campers who have asked about them and added them to your prayers, thank you. Being an only child, I take my parents everywhere. When we started building the campground on June 1, 1995, my parents were right there with us. Many of you will remember my Dad running around the park in his golf cart and my Mom registering you at the front counter. For a number of years, they were our only staff. I still like to imagine Daddy feeding Lena and zipping down to the mailbox in his golf cart. We can't thank Jim Rogers enough for sharing a few moments with my Mom in 2008. She got to meet "The Man" and it brightened her spirits for days. Daddy and Mommy were married on December 24, 1944 after a 10 day courtship. Everyone told them it would never last!!!! Daddy served 23.5 years in the Navy, retiring in 1957. In November 2008 we traveled to Arlington National Cemetery, where Daddy was buried on November 24th. Fritz's Dad and Mom are also buried at Arlington. Daddy and Mommy taught me to be my own woman and supported my dreams all my life. They gave Fritz and me their unconditional blessing when we decided to 'pack it all in' and follow our dream of owning a campground. We miss you Daddy and give thanks for every day my Mom remains with us instead of being where she really wants to be - with you. |
