A Fond Farewell

It is with deep regret that I share the news of the death of Richard "Dick" Endres. Dick was one of Cap's sons and JP's brother. In the early years of camp, Dick was instrumental in developing the Chippewa sailing program and was the author of the first Chippewa sailing manual. Much of that original manual survives today in the new manual that was launched this summer.

As a successful business man, he still looked forward to his time back at Cass Lake. Most recently, Dick was proud of his work to help form Camp Chippewa Foundation to ensure the camp's legacy for future generations. Since the formation of Camp Chippewa Foundation in 1999, Dick was an active board member for camp, retiring in August 2007.

On behalf of the entire Chippewa family, I share my thoughtful condolences to Elaine, Rick, Holly and the entire family.
