My condolences to the Roush family. While I do not personally know you, I wanted to tell you that, thanks to Bill Borden, I spent a week every summer at the Camp on Sand Lake from the time I was 7 years old until I was 12. I worked there when I was 13. Those weeks at camp are some of the best memories of my childhood, and I still have pictures of my cabin group every summer. One of them is taken in front of one of the "teepees." I am greatly appreciative of those weeks, and the memories they added to my history.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
