The contents of this book pretty much mirrors what happened in most other camp sites. Only difference was the extra steps and compassion taken by Walt and Millie Woodward during these sad and unforunate times. This couple are people of principal and one should take a lesson from them. Thank you Mary for writing this book. As a 9 year old entering camp I also learned a great deal from this book and your tireless chore of writing.
