 Eagle #15, 1937


I remember the knot competition quite clearly. I went to Camp Webeka for at least a month maybe two, with two friends Pat and Bill Nedham who were both in the Troop. In Bronxville the *Kennedy family lived up the road from where I lived, I was on Normandy terrace. I don't remember seeing them, my wife does they were older. Two friends that I stayed in touch with from Bronxville were Bob Holliday and  Bill Keggel.
