The coming of the World Series marks my favorite time of the sports year. Not only the baseball, but football season now is going full rage, and basketball plus hockey are not far behind. And, I get to play lots of golf in the beautiful days of autumn. So, to celebrate this wonderful sports bonanza, … Read more
Nearly every boy who appears in today’s photo blast is a certain return camper. Not only the lads in the photos, but the camp scenes represented, make this director eager for the passage of time, which, at my age, is not a particularly wise thing to root for.
Grammarians will immediately notice the s-apostrophe on the word Director in today’s Blues Buster title. This year’s essay is a joint effort between Rob and me.

Would that Kingswood stand up to such scrutiny! Last week’s Blues Buster pointed to her Smugmug site where she has thousands of photos … Read more
It has been two weeks since we said goodbye to second session campers and staff. While camp may be over for you readers, it surely is not nearly complete to us. The photos in today’s report show you some of the chores we have been tackling: Mr. Bucky Beaver, who lives down the lake a … Read more
Bow & Arrow Week is as much about our community sense of humor as it is a spirited sports competition. There are no extra points to be gained by producing clever skits in the dining room. In fact, most of the “cheap bits,” as we call them, have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Bow … Read more
Old Kingswood hands will want to know at the outset how the introduction to B&A transpired this year. Answer: The administration demanded that the theatrics be kept to a minimum this time around.
