75 Years and Still Fishing

(Jerry at the Final Banquet, 2007)

2010 will mark camp's 75th annivesary with exciting new canoe trips, fun special activities and an alumni rendezvous. Looks like Jerry Graham beat camp to the punch, however. Jerry recently celebrated his 75th birthday. Congratulations Jerry!

Jerry has been working with the men and boys at Chippewa since the 1950s. No doubt we'll be seeing him at age 76 back at Silent Isle, his Canadian getaway, and of course on Cass Lake. One of his friends In Miami, Oklahoma wrote a short homage:

Good gracious sakes alive,
Ole Jerold Graham is seventy five.
He has no hair to part
but has a kindly heart.
Behind him are birthdays galore.
Now is the time to wish him more.

(Jerry in Canada circa 1980)
