We took a quick trip to Maine to attend Chop Point’s 50th
Anniversary.

50 years ago some friends founded
Chop Point,
a summer camp on the Kennebec River in Woolwich,
Maine. Barbara was a camp
counselor there in the early eighties and later served on their Board of
Directors.

Through the years, Chop Point also started a K-12 Christian school
and founded a camp in Nicaragua.
Four years ago our daughter, Carrie, spent a summer at their Nicaragua camp,
Campo Alegria.
We talked with other alumni, toured the facility, and had a
great meal. Perhaps the most wonderful thing was to hear the words of
the founding members and to see how Chop Point has transformed so many lives.

This was a pretty quick trip, but we stopped in Wiscasset where Barbara found a particular
letterbox, we poked in a little art gallery speaking with the artist of the following painting, and we took in the view of the Sheepscot
River.
