Starting in the Summer of 1988 my life began to take shape and my favorite color for any outfit changed to navy blue. However on Sunday's my choice of color was white. I spent the next 6 summers wearing plenty of navy and lots of white. I am and always will be a member of the Creek tribe of Camp Desoto. I learned a lot those years about friendship, family, and faith. I will never forget the summers of never getting thirsty, Christmas in July, and always being unapologetically square. The memory I will take with me most was the friendship and guidance of Camp Director Sue Henry. I never met a lady like her and I don't think I ever will. Sue left this world today and while I never knew if she preferred the color red, green, or navy, I do know that she loved the color white and as I type I know she is standing on a white cloud with the receiving the biggest white wings the heavens have ever seen and that my friends is an outfit we should all strive to have. Sue we will all miss you, but we will never forget you.

Go Creeks! My sister and I will be going to Mentone in August for Sue's memorial. What an inspiration she was for many and what an impact she had on my life.
