John Prevost curlyz77@yahoo.com	1	This was my first year at camp and I loved it. I really want to come back in 2009. I missed my family but I enjoyed my time in the woods meeting new people. I look forward to seeing all the people that were nice to me and helped me to get through the week I was there.
Gordon M Gunn II gmgunn3rd@msn.com	1946-47	As an 8 yr old city boy going to camp shaver was exciting and scary. I got homesick but my counselors helped me through. No electricity back then, nights were DARK.
Pete Angel peteangel@vrsprop.com	1947-49	My brother and I attended St. Anthony's Home for Boys in Albuquerque. We enjoyed our Camp outing. I have been looking for any one who might have gone to the school around that time.
Ed Eby specialed1830@yahoo.com	1957-1963	I loved this time at camp Shaver, I learned a lot and had a lot of great and interesting cabin mates and counselors , cabin one first was Larry Bowen, Next was little Joe, ect, I was a ragger, and had a lot of fun . When I came back to NM after 20 years away I bought a house in Seven Springs, We always went through there when we went to Fenton Lake or to ride horses at the Lazy Rey ranch. What a time , and the smell of the Jemez after a rain will always remain with me.
Jerry Crowell pinetopmom@earthlink.net	1958-1963	Loved the open air cabin and the hike to Battleship Rock to collect the floating rocks.

I learned to trust and fear nature all at the same time. Capturing the flag was like being a god for a day back then, OH how life gets way to busy. A reunion sounds like the best way to celebrate what a wonderful place Shaver really is!!!! Hope to see you all there, lets go jump in the swimming hole and go on a overnight NOW!!!!!

Diana Feeley (Gallegos) dpfeeley@hotmail.com	1986-1991	My dad was the caretaker there and I was a CIT and Junior Counselor. I got to enjoy so many facets of being a part of the camp. Summertime was the best, but I also enjoyed the solidarity of all the land and trails around the area. I haven't been back in 5 years, but Camp Shaver has been one of the sweetest memories of my childhood...not to mention the friends I made while I was there. I miss that place!
