i'll never forget coming across this magical glade of thousands of butterflies during the day, which turned into this magical glade of fireflies at night
btw - i grew up Portland. got into the Way in Portland in 92. and just saw some things you wrote somewhere else about it that made me a lil homesick.
By the way, we built that game room you played in as our gift (Family V) to the campus or to the way or somebody.
It was just an old abandoned room when we started, and we ripped everything out and built it like brand new. We had a blast doing it. I've often wondered how our handiwork held up, but it looks like it lasted at least until you lived there!
You're right, def, it was a beautiful place year round. I loved the old buildings and the grounds and the woods. And the main barn was gorgeous inside.
Megan, I'm sure you were like all the other kids who lived there over the years. They knew every nook and cranny of the main building, and every inch of the fields and woods and grounds.
For the kids who didn't hate being in the Family Corps (and granted, some did, and it sounds like it got a LOT worse in later years), it was a great place to live. Heck, I wasn't a kid and I really liked living there.
When I was on HQ staff I didn't mind going to the dentist, because it was an excuse to go back to the Indiana Campus.

MPW You are one of those people who can always find the good in things. Keep the good memories and learn from the bad.
I never saw the Indiana campus but it sounds like it was beautiful.

Rome City was beautiful, no matter why time of the year.
In 1978, we had a limb/region meeting there. Ralph D. was our limb leader then. The day was a blast.
