Timanews december 2019 H ere it is the 2019 Timanews I ve really enjoyed watching this year s edition take shape now that I have a year at Timanous under my belt One year ago I felt like a spectator in this very same process because I didn t yet know most of the people who submitted updates Just one camp season later I felt like I was getting mail from old friends when each new round of updates reached my inbox In addition to everyone I ve had the good fortune to meet there are many more of you out there that I ve learned about through camp stories that communicate your deep passion for all things Timanous We are fortunate to have a community that spans generations and despite the fact that most of us haven t met personally we are all connected by the timeless experiences shared on the shores of Panther Pond I had fun reading each of the entries as they arrived I noticed several recurring themes as they accumulated No matter how long ago the summers at Timanous from 2019 back to the 1940 s a gratitude was expressed for joyous summers of friendships adventure and growth Timanous people stay in touch with each other We go to each other s weddings We see each other at sporting events between schools We make plans to spend time together and play at new camp friends homes over the weekend or when traveling on vacation We have lunch together on a regular basis meet up at a favorite spot on Tuesday nights and go on outdoor adventures together While we may not always be able to return to the physical place of Timanous we carry the spirit with us wherever we go I witnessed this firsthand at Timanous during my first summer as director in 2019 All summer long alumni guests dropped in to simply walk the bunkline or perhaps join us for Chapel or Council Fire Even a quick visit allows returning alums to reconnect with the place and the spirit of the experience mallards eagles hawks crogles herons My own Timanews update is aligned with these themes I joined a wonderful new community this past summer one that values character face to face connections and traditions that keep us engaged in a simple rustic and active lifestyle in a very beautiful place I am grateful for all the new friendships with our campers counselors their families and our alumni I met many of you in New York Washington D C Boston and when you visited camp I look forward to meeting many more of you in the years ahead and already can t wait for summer 2020 Thank you for making this such a robust edition of the Timanews I hope reading it helps you reconnect with an old camp friend or two Your Timanous spirit fills these pages much as your spirit filled camp during your summers on Panther Pond Warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a great start to 2020 Sincerely falcons loons ravens cardinals crows
camp news Giving Back to Timanous Bill Leece former camper counselor and current Trustee My first year at Timanous was 1961 I was nine years old had never been away from home and was terribly homesick Needless to say I struggled that first summer and didn t want to return My father in his infinite wisdom suggested that I try it again the following summer I guess I really didn t have much choice so I did come back It was one of the best decisions of my life Bill Leece standing 4th from left and his 1966 Crows cabinmates I returned for 13 more summers as a camper and later as a counselor My confidence improved I learned to swim paddle a canoe and with the help of Carter MacDonald I actually made some interesting things in the woodshop no small feat for someone challenged in the art of woodworking I played a lot of baseball and learned to appreciate the natural world on camping trips to northern Maine I loved the freedom that camp provided I was often busy never bored and always having fun I learned to live with people who had different interests and backgrounds Most importantly I made friends for life So when the opportunity came to join the Board of Trustees and help camp become a nonprofit I jumped at it I am grateful for the chance to give back to a place that has meant so much to me In a lot of ways Timanous provided me with a foundation on how to live my life Over the past year it s been wonderful to connect with other alums and Timanous supporters and hear their stories about why Timanous was so important to them In Johnny Suitor s wonderful essay Why Timanous he mentions that besides providing a healthy and happy summer for a boy camp life should also have lasting values that carry over into adult life I think this is the essence of Timanous and why people care so deeply about it The Timanous Board of Trustees recognizes this and will continue to strive to make Timanous a special place sandy tattersall fund Thank you to everyone who has so generously supported the Sandy Tattersall Fund which now stands at over 1 000 000 in donations and pledges The income from this endowment will help boys attend Timanous each and every year Donor lists for Sandy s Fund the Timanous Fund and the Annual Fund for Camperships will be published in an upcoming newsletter mallards eagles hawks crogles herons
camp news What Timanous Means to Me by Cole Kelsey Crows 19 Cole Kelsey kneeling 2nd from right and the 2019 2nd session Crows Timanous has always been an incredibly special place to me It has always provided an amazing opportunity to get away from the outside world and the stress that comes with it Being at camp with my best friends in the entire world that come from all different places and backgrounds also helps me diversify my thoughts about the people around me and nature This is just one of the ways that I feel I ve grown as a person from being here Camp has so many unique traits that encourage a sense of community friendliness and initiative Most of all the fact that you re away from home pushes everyone here to become their own person and have an adventure while doing it I say with complete honesty that I have made so many more positive memories here than while being at home Throughout my time at camp I have acquired a deep emotional connection to this place and the people it s like having a second family As I walk down the path I like to make connections between my surroundings and the Timanous Prayer So you can understand what I m saying I d like to include the prayer below We give thanks for the joy of fellowship For the beauty of our surroundings For the tall pine trees and sparking lake For the life which teems around us in the woods For the skies and clear waters We give thanks for the love of doing things For active bodies and minds alert For the excitement of something new And the comfort of things which are old For all these we give thanks For the cool and quiet of evening For the restfulness of night For the glory of starry skies For the new life which comes with showers For our families who have given us our homes And for the trials which help us to know ourselves For all these we give thanks falcons loons ravens cardinals crows

timanous update biomedical informatics from Northwestern University woohoo and then in July I started a postdoctoral fellowship in human genetics at the University of Chicago and that s going really well so far Before starting my new gig I took a trip up to Maine in order to mentally reset I was happy to see some of the 2019 staff while I was up there I also hiked beautiful Mount Katahdin which is something I hadn t done since I was a Loon 18 years ago In September I had the distinguished pleasure of standing next to my dear friend and fellow 2003 Crow David Giancola as he married his lovely wife Sam with the Hudson and Lower Manhattan as their backdrop The ceremony conducted by Reverend Tanner Powers featured guests entering to the live acoustic accompaniment of Here Comes the Sun and readings of both the Salutation of the Dawn and the Timanous Prayer I was overjoyed by the occasion and being able to catch up with the other Timanous guys in attendance I m thankful for the good things that happened this past year and for those of you I was able to see but there are many more of you whom I haven t seen in too long so please let me know if you are ever in Chicago Owen Davies Greetings from beautiful Long Island Lorenzo Davies is in his sophomore year at Brooklyn College and is playing goalkeeper for the soccer team Owen is working at Hudson River Park in Manhattan and still playing hockey and fishing in his spare time The Camp T 100 year reunion made quite the impact on Nico who keeps asking when he can be a camper Hope to see everyone this summer John Douglas After graduating from the University of Georgia last May I stayed in the South for the time being working in downtown Atlanta and living with college friends in a house in the city While my location doesn t always give me the closest proximity to the bulk of the Timanous family I was able to catch Pat and Bill Hayes for a Braves game at SunTrust Park where we collected the full arsenal of Home Depot bobble heads long live the Battlebass and witnessed Bryce Harper wreak mallards havoc on the Atlanta bullpen Stories of Twilight League legends were told ballpark dogs were eaten and it was a perfect night to catch Pat before he scooted his vintage right hand drive Toyota van up to Burlington VT I was also able to spend a day in Raymond back in early June to make a quick visit to see the pre pre camp men who were hard at work getting everything perfect for the summer ahead of them I couldn t have been more grateful to be able to take a long overdue dip from beginners dock into Panther Pond and reconnect with everyone before the summer began I just ran into Tanner Powers in Charlotte last week and he made me promise to make a trip to NYC to visit the likes of the Beamer Will Schoder Tanner and everyone else living in the city that I haven t seen in far too long As always my family plans on meeting up with Aidan and Liam Prior and their family somewhere around Acadia or Blue Hill Maine around Christmas We will most likely hike relax listen to the Prior men complain about the NY Jets organization and I look forward to seeing whatever the most recent cast iron apparatus that Aidan has welded together in his winter forge As for anyone else who might find themselves in Atlanta for any period of time it is always great to catch up and I can always be reached at john douglas97 gmail com or facebook It appears that Atlanta will be my home into the near future but I am excited for an open future looking forward Happy Holidays to you all and I am forever grateful for

for a cryptocurrency exchange Safe to say there were a lot of great and wild times full of subzero temperatures warm people and unforgettable memories I couldn t help but think back on all the incredible times at camp and things I learned that helped me adapt and feel right at home in a place so far from it I was lucky enough to be able to come back to NYC at times and connect with camp guys living there to get a little taste of home during my time there This September I was lucky enough to attend Dave Giancola s wedding and got to catch up with Dave Wil Laprade Will Schoder Tanner Powers Jim Poulin Nick Young Matt Dapas Nick Leyden and Pineman It goes to show that the friendships formed at camp aren t for summers alone Mark Endrizzi 2019 was sadly the first summer since 2014

back to 1957 and my Head Counselor BVO I must have looked lost or in need of something because a young camper came up and said Excuse me Sir can I help you I told him I was just an old guy who like him was part of the Timanous story We talked briefly and he went on his way but I was grateful for his simple courtesy and thoughtfulness I was also reassured in that moment the Timanous Spirit was
