This is a copy of a letter Grams wrote to me 38 years ago while I was attending Camp Millacoma in Allegany, Oregon.
"July 21, '71Dear Beth -
Wonder if you are spending most of your time in the pool. If it is as warm at camp as it is here that's the best place to be. It was 98 yesterday - cooler today supposed to be just 93. It is 8:15A.M. - Kristi & Grandpa still in bed - I've been up two hours - feel more like working when it is cooler. Cam is eating Frosty Flakes. Hope you are finding something to eat. Imagine you are doing some of your own cooking. Grandpa & I go camping this week-end. It is for our church - down toward Florence on Clay Creek. Been thinking I might take Ed & Kevin - will see. Will probably only get to stay Sat. nite and I'm not sure all the packing up is worth just one night of camping.
Took Ed to piano yesterday. He was at Grandma Cookson's - had his swimming lesson. Haven't seen any of the rest of your family - tho' I talked to your Mom - she didn't seem too happy about going back to work.
Talked to Aunt Sandie - she (& the rest of the family) had spent Sun. at Fern Ridge & she, Uncle Jack, Kevin & Mike got sun burned. She water skiied. They have six new puppies (or rather Tina did).
Hope you are having fun - will be interested in hearing about camp & the back packing.
Love from Grandma & Grandpa W."
