Camp Zoe was the best part of my summer. Loved spending some time at the stables with the horses and swimming in the creek. The campfires and sing-a-longs were wonderful. I lived in St. Louis and always thought I would be a counselor there, but moved to Tulsa in 1955 and never was back. After many moves, finishing college, two marriages, four children and working for the Navy in the Washington, D.C. area, I am now living in southwest Florida, enjoying our lovely area and playing lots of golf.

Like everyone else, (apparently) I happened on to your web site while looking for the same camp that I went to as a kid, with so many incredibly wonderful & hilarious memories, for my own 10 year-old son. I'm absolutely devastated that it is gone! How is this possible?! Anyway, recently divorced, I've spent the last six months looking for all of my old flames, so why not include my very first crush? Does anyone remember Cindy Kirkpatrick? I remember her (of course) as absolutely gorgeous, jet black hair with bangs (I think), and about 10 or 12 years old in about 1970. Yes, that end of session dance was also MY first memorable kiss. ALSO, since Zoe isn't an option any more, hopefully some of you can give me ideas for a replacement for my 10 year old son..its gotta be exactly the same, though!

Attended Zoe with my friend Susannah Wright and absolutely loved it. Love the website and the memories that it brought back; the candles on the river on the last night, crying like only a 13 year old girl can when we sang "Run for the Roses", my first boy/girl dance (dancing to the GO-GO's! yeah, we've got the beat!), and the humiliation of butt rot! After Zoe, I eventually grew up and graduated from St. Louis University with a Masters of Social Work degree, married a boy from my hometown of Farmington, MO. and had three daughters. Wish Zoe was still around for them to enjoy!

After graduating from high school in '81, I went to Drake University. One of the first people I ran into at a bar when I got to Drake was Tino Trova (small world)!! I also went to school in Rome, Italy and lived there for six months. I got my degree in Journalism in '85 and then went to law school at Washington University in St. Louis. Of course, I saw Tino Trova there again since he lives in St. Louis, and we have stayed in touch off and on since then. I also became and remain great friends with Lynn Woodruff's future husband's sister (again, small world)!! I got my J.D. in '88, and practiced law for 10 years in St. Louis doing different types of litigation, but mainly high profile private criminal defense work, lots of death penalty defense. Then I decided I wanted to be something else when I "grew up" and pursued my passion for fine wines. I have worked in that field since 1999. I am still in St. Louis, I'm still single, never married, no kids, but am in a great relationship with a wonderful man! Our next stop, the San francisco bay area for me to continue working with fine wines. I travel a lot, go to music festivals and concerts all over the country, and am living a happy hippie eclectic bohemian lifestyle! I look back on my many summers at Camp Zoe with incredible fondness and just wish it was still there today giving kids the same fantastic fun and friendships I gained!

As a result of stumbling on this web site, I rummaged through some boxes and found a yearbook for my last year there. I have many fond memories of those summers and some that have only just come back to me. Camp Zoe was where I first fell in love, got my first ID bracelet, (counselor made me give it back the next night) got my ears pierced, and many other firsts. To my counselors I offer my thanks and apologies. Those were wonderful summers.

I attended Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, spent my college summers as a lifeguard at a camp on Lake Michigan, and relocated to the Washington, DC area shortly after graduation. My husband, Ken, and I met while we were both working for the American Cancer Society in DC and were married in 1989. I worked at the ACS for nine years as a fund raising program assistant, a public information specialist and then as executive secretary. I stayed at home for awhile with our boys Will, and Jay, and I am now working half-time for a regional government agency. I've been living here for almost 15 years and enjoy the area and climate (think mild). On particularly cold mornings (anything below 40 degrees) I think of Chicago. I sometimes miss the midwest and wish that my sister (Julie "Lei" Moncrieff) lived closer!

I drifted around aimlessly after there was no more Camp Zoe, including living in St. Louis with Wendy (nee Perkovic) and Rich Miller for 4 years in the late 80's. I worked at a camp in northern Minnesota for 4 years and met a few other expatriate Zoeians. My careers have also included coaching gymnastics, managing an Outdoor Clothing store, selling Tupperware, and managing and buying for a Golf and Tennis Store. Currently living and working in Oregon.

After Camp closed in 1986, I realized my career options were limited. Mucking stalls and shepherding children to different activities for $.17 per hour was no way to go through life. So, I attended Millikin University to gain a B.A. in English--again spending my time on a discipline with little options and low pay! After bouncing around the photo-finishing and telecommunications industries, I have found limitless stress and anxiety working in the world of advertising in St. Louis.

After graduating from University of Arizona in '92, I followed my brother Scott out to sunny Los Angeles to pursue a career in showbiz! During the next five years (most of which I spent unemployed, answering phones, or both) I met a beautiful red head named Kelly, got married, lived a year in Amsterdam, bought a fixer upper in the Hills (I've become very handy) and celebrated the birth of my baby girl. Currently I write and produce a television show for Universal called Blind Date. Not exactly curing cancer, but somebody's got to write those thought bubbles.

Attended Camp Zoe with a group of friends from Alton, IL. I still have my canoeing and horseback riding certificates. We all learned the sign language alphabet so we could talk during quiet time in the cabin. Remember the yellow stuff they put in our ears after swimming? Still love float trips.

I was at the Camp for 2 summers. The first summer I worked in the kitchen and the second summer as a “hand”. My wife still laughs at the idea of me being a “hand” with my history of screwing up any repair job I tackle. I have often told the story of the years of working at Camp Zoe as a hand for $40 a week plus room and board working 12 hours a day 6 and ˝ days a week. Sounds onerous but it was really a great job. I was 15 and 16 those 2 years so kind of in between the campers and the counselors, quite a growing up experience. Our Mom (Jim’s and mine) was a nurse at Camp Zoe for 4 weeks each summer for probably 3 or 4 years (Effie Otto) from 64 to 67 or so. Even though I was never a camper I would agree with others that it was fantastic experience in a wonderful era. Now days my wife of 36 years and I live in central Florida where I run a national warehousing company (Saddle Creek Corp). Our 3 kids are grown. We get back to Missouri infrequently having moved 9 times in our married lives but remember our youth growing up in St. Louis as wonderful.

I graduated from Mizzou with a Bachelor's in Accounting, but decided that was WAY too boring. After numerous different "career" choices, I have settled down in the Missouri Department of Corrections. I started as a Corrections Officer (prison guard.) Now I am a Corrections Caseworker at Potosi Correctional Center. I work with the capital punishment inmates during their first 30 days, as well as the protective custody inmates and the wonderful men of the "projectile" unit (also known as the spitters and throwers!) It's sort of like being a camp counselor for the Manson kids. As a matter of fact, Zoe was probably a good training ground for my line of work.

As most of you know, my brother Steve passed away in 2002. The outpouring of love and memories from those who knew him was a tremendous help to our family. Thanks so much to all the Zoe alumni who sent prayers and who came to the service. Seeing Boyer, Jamie and Dave Searles, Dave White, Brenda and Benita Warren was just what Steve would have wanted.

After a disastrous summer with Jack at Camp Zoe (1980), I returned to school, started a band, and made the dean's list. I moved to Texas in '83 to work in theatre and be with a special woman. (I worked part time at dude ranch here in Dallas, as a guide for people looking for that "western adventure" thing on horseback. Tourists! Thanks, Zoe.) In '86, I did my first marathon. In '88, on the brink of turning pro, I did my first Ironman Triathlon. I was picked up (sponsored) after that, by a running shoe company, Saucony Shoes. In 1991, I went for the Olympic Marathon Trails, as the 8th fastest runner in the nation. Though I continued training/racing, I had begun working for American Airlines until the mid 1990's. In '95, I was part of another band called "Night Fall". In '96, I was the fastest all round runner in the DFW metroplex, and, that year, finally got married. (No kids planned. We're still looking at the pictures!!) I began dabbling as a coach, but didn't turn to it full time for another couple of years. 1997, I began writing for Health & Fitness Magazine. (I was already writing for Start Lines, and Tri-Dallas.) In '98, I represented the US at an invitational meet in Japan. In 2000, went to the peak of Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro as part of team. In 2001, I set a record at a local duathlon series, and was named top master's in the five state region (TX, NM, AR, LA, OK). With my wife, we've started our own newspaper, The Phast Times News, and visited Alaska (Imagine Colorado amped up; Now add an ocean!). Besides racing, writing, and traveling to Europe each year, I am presently a high school coach and a personal trainer. Some day soon, I hope to have my book finished. Finally life is good.

I attended Camp Zoe for three years in the 1960's. I am a bit sketchy, but I believe it was 1967, 1968, and 1969, for two weeks each time. (One year, California Dreamin' was the most popular song at the dance. That was the year that I stayed in the "Lodge".) What a wonderful experience!

I left St. Louis in 1982 to do my college stint in Boulder, Colorado. Then, I moved to Paris for a couple of years where I worked as an artist's apprentice in weaving, architecture and then did the layout for a french language magazine. I finally returned to the states in the late 80's and I settled in California with my husband of now 15 years. We work together running our own environmental consulting company, raising our daughters and living life to the fullest. I even get to ride horses sometimes although it will never be quite like riding Smoky or RedMan alongside beautiful ol' sinking creek. I only hope that when my kids go to camp they will have as fulfilling, wonderful and innocent a time as I did back in my Camp Zoe days.

Known as the girl who always wanted my first kiss from the notoriously flirtatious and fraternizing Tino Trova, I am happy to report that the trauma of finally getting it during one of the last dances has now passed. I am thriving here in Winter Park FL and am successfully raising my 5-year old. I have worked in film and television as an actress and host and after accompanying Boyer Barner to his senior prom, I thought I would take up dancing and walking the plank, so i have worked also as a runway model for 10 years. My heart lies in the paints and oil pastels that i so happily smear around the canvasses everyday at my studio however. I graduated form the University of Michigan in 1991 with a BFA and am going back to my roots as an artist. I still have recurring night dreams of different scenes and stories and people from Zoe...I am always waiting in line to get into the Mess Hall (seems I never was able to satiate my appetite there and it still haunts me)...nonetheless, I always wonder if one should just keep the memories and never go back to visit the place except in dreams, for seeing the current state of it without all of the soul that it had could be crushing. Zoe runs thick in my blood and I am so lucky to have been able to call it a summer time blessing. Love to all of you who shared the Sinkin' Creek, Current River and rides on Raymond.

No one ever came to pick me up back in 84' I have been hanging with Charcoal Willie and the Gambodi. We have formed a communal living society where we grow our own food and distill our famous mountain dew. We had to eat all the horses because they kept eating our Yerba Matte. The jet fighters still buzz our compound, luckily we have a Government Issue scanner we found in the lodge and re-configured to jam their communications, we just love funnin’ with those F-4’s. They probably think there is some sort of magnetic anomaly at Sinkin’ creek due to the depleted uranium we found in Hermit’s cave. I always wondered what the "dill pickle" really was. Well, I have been waiting for the next group of campers to arrive for 16 years. The people that did come in 1987 must have forgotten to advertise, everything was the same but the only campers that showed up appeared to be in their late 50’s and they shot at us when we tried to play taps. I fashioned a computer with satellite uplink out of those electronic football games, some old pots, and bailing wire. We generate electricity from methane we harvest from the pigs poop up the creek. I will end this with a question, "Does anyone know where my Mom is, I miss my care packages."

She bought a little house in Glendale, MO ('burb of STL) which she adores putting time into. She's been lucky to travel quite a bit and loves to cook. Living in Nashville in college she fell in love with bluegrass music and went to a bluegrass festival where anyone could sit-in. She taught some people two new verses to "Mountain Dew" which she learned at Zoe and they hadn't ever heard!

I started at Camp Zoe at the age of 7, attended as a camper every year until I got too old, and for several years hung on in various capacities (including poor attempts to be a counselor!) In 1986 I graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in Chemical Engineering and a commission in the US Army, and married my college sweetheart. We spent from 1987-90 in Germany with the Army, then I left the Army and we moved to Boulder, Colorado for me to attend graduate school, and I completed a Master's and started on a Ph.D. but we decided to start family and I signed on with Merck in 1994. In 1998 we moved back to Boulder for me to finish grad school, and I finally finished in 2000. Then after 2 more years with Merck in PA we moved to Indianapolis with Eli Lilly. Carol and I have now been married 17 years and have one son.

I have lived in Tampa, Florida for 23 years and still through such incredible memories feel as though it was just yesterday that I was packing up my trunk with all of the essentials and heading to camp for the summer. After high school my family moved to Orlando, Florida to escape the cold and snowy winters. I attended the University of Tampa and taught elementary school for 7 years. I married a wonderful man, Doug Kole, and have been married for 15 years. We have two boys. When they were younger, I went back to school and attended a design school in Tampa. I have since had my own interior design firm JK Designs. An additional cap that I wear occasionally is that of Inventor. I have a few patents and are currently working on selling them so that I can move onto other ideas

I attended Whitfield school in St. Louis and later Kirkwood H.S. I spent five years at Mizzou as a Sigma Chi and managed to get out with an Arts and Science degree in '87. After graduation I moved to London for about a year where I worked at Harrods. Traveled amongst the Euros for a while, and spent some time in Belgrade and Sarajevo before all hell broke loose. Soon after returning to the states I moved to Los Angeles where I somehow weaseled into a job at NBC working on "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" as well as other since cancelled sitcoms. Currently I am trying to get paid for being a writer so I can give up on my day gig as an art director/art department coordinator on commercials and sketchy music videos. I am not married, (came close a few years ago), but I do have a cat named Wilco.

After finishing college (Earlham College, IN) and exploring the world a bit, I settled into a somewhat transitory lifestyle, setting down shallow roots in a number of places (most notably Washington state), and doing seasonal wildlife/field biology type work. Eventually I went back to school in Madison, Wisconsin, for a graduate degree, which has succeeded in moving me away from the field and behind a desk. I now do conservation-related GIS and Remote Sensing work. I'm currently residing in Phoenix, Arizona, but hope to return to the Northwest in the next couple of years.

My first year at Camp Zoe was a two week session attended by myself and my sister (Janet). After that it was a variety of two and four week stays. My mother was "Nurse Bonnie" who manned the medical cabin for a number of years. I can still recall a number of the campers I would see on an annual basis (Darrell Grobe, Bill Bliche, B.J. Rubin, Sam Yingling - probably all misspelled). Just this past weekend I was cleaning out my parents papers. They had saved the first letter I had ever written home from camp (remember - they made us do it). Still great memories after all these years.

After Camp I attended DePauw University. (This was where I met my future husband who was a senior my freshman year - my freshman crush). I was a Psychology major and had a fun internship at NBC-TV in New York City with its Talent Relations Department where I met stars of NBC shows (1983). After graduating, I worked in Public Relations for the Better Business Bureau and a few other places before landing a job with Dorf & Stanton Public Relations that had offices around the country and I was chosen to work on the America's Cup Race (for New Zealand) and then several projects which moved me to New York for 6 months at a time. But I didn't want to leave the Midwest for good. I re-met my husband, Chuck in 1990 (ten years after we'd met by sending him a letter), and we were married in 1991. We have two children. I am still freelancing in the public relations field and full-time mother.

Over the years I have thought about all of the great experiences at camp. My sister and I still talk about our times at camp. Our children know some of our old camp songs, Titanic, The Men from Nairobi and Beautiful Old Sinking Creek. What great memories. After camp and three years of high school I was accidentally blessed with a young son. I mainly worked bartending, waiting tables and showing horses for my step-father. When my son was eight years old I went to college and became a registered nurse and I work in our local emergency room in Farmington, Missouri. I have been very blessed and will someday soon revisit Zoe. My sister lives in Philadelphia and has her PhD in biochemistry. My brother John is a licensed practical nurse and living in Springfield, Missouri. I would be elated to hear from everyone.

After the kick ass years at Camp Zoe...went off to college and graduated biology/chemistry degree. Last year of college marriage (legal bondage...forever banned from my to-do list)...then popped out two spawn (kids). After turning down multiple offers to run various meth labs throughout Missouri (kidding of course)..ended up in Columbia MO running a hazardous materials unit for the feds. After 7 years of toxic fumes and shortening my potential life-span I switched careers and moved into pharmaceuticals...sales, medical...then marketing. Oh, somewhere in there I went to grad school, learned more crap, and graduated with a PhD in Biochem...again more meth lab offers. Work has brought moi and my two spawn (minus the x-spouse, yeeha) out to the east coast where we now live in Jersey just outside of Philadelphia. Fly back to lovely MO almost every other weekend in the summer where I repeatedly tear up my Jeeps (have a jeep fetish) and play on the river. Keeping busy with work...kids...and many endorphin generating hobbies...flying (single engine prop....Pitts Special are bad ass!!), motorcycles (Ninjas rock), sky diving (with a chute)...music (Sevendust, Korn, Ministry). So that is my life in a blip.
