Hello Mudda, hello Fadda…

Greetings from beautiful Camp Granada!

Is that Mudda with a mustache, or Fadda?

or else he is writing as he fell off a cliff

He seems to be having a wonderful time…

spending time at future dentists camp

Ha! Good one! Good ol’ summer camp!

Oh Mom,lastly I forgot to tell you… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

PS: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Who sends letters from camp these days? The kinds only want one thing. MONEY to buy junk at the tuck shop (look that up).

This one goes way back, over 20 years!

I think I wrote letters something like that to my parents when I was at camp.

One of John’s many greats. It certainly “bears” repeating.

Welcome to Crystal Lake!

Sounds like a young Sam Kingston.

You will find the Grail in the Castle AAAAAARRRRrrrrrrghghgh

Learning to sneeze???

If I read the letter heading correctly it’s Camp Itch and Scratch. Aha. Aaaahh. :)

The letter writer must be staying at the Stanley Hotel.

You should see the letters from people in Basic Training.

Sounds like he caught hay fever there.

“Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini?” :)

I am getting visions of the peasant boy in “Men in Tights”.

He must be in the Wonderful Land of AAHHs.

Little Tommy is finding his voice. Good for him.

Bleeb got stamped.

Learning to crow?
