After 5 on 5 in the evening, we would go to the pool room, play pool/ping pong, and order milkshakes. I remember going back to our rooms and playing Nintendo 64 in my older years.

Found a closing ceremony video of Joe Dean Jr from 2015 (50th anniversary). Definitely brings back some memories.

Was sorry to hear this over the weekend. I did his Dixie camp with a buddy of mine in like '93 or so, and it was one of the most fun weeks of my life.

As a kid, you got to basically live as an adult/college kid for a whole week. shite was awesome.
