I was first term, too. That means that you would have been in Angels or Idiots when I was in Hangover! I pulled my charm bracelet out, too. Wore it yesterday.

Mystic has always been cell phone free (since cell phones became a thing). The Eastlands and staff would have had phones... But then you have to think about reception, which is spotty at the best of times.

Those were not killed at Camp Mystic. They were at Pot O' Gold, in a completely different area, and they were killed while the camp was evacuating.

It was necessarily unwelcoming or very welcoming. I just don't know what their experience was. And as I've said none of it takes away from what it does do for girls, including inculcating kindness, compassion, and empathy... Especially for those of us who knew Iney &Frank Harrison.

Something that I think needs to be made visible, acknowledged, and remedied. I don't know how LGBTQ+ friendly that area is. It wasn't really recognized when I was a camper or counselor, so I don't know the experience of more recent LGBTQ+ girls, or how welcoming they found it. I'm not saying that

I am not blind to the role that the Texas Hill country camps play in maintaining elite Texas communities, and in excluding access to people of color. That's on a structural level that I think is almost invisible to people who go to the camps And doesn't undermine kindness and decency. It is

It was situated there in 1926. The fact that it's been there for a hundred years, despite other floods, suggests that while flooding can get bad, it has never occurred at the levels that we have seen in this particular flood. From this point forward, I expect rebuilding to incorporate changes.

There's one inaccuracy in the story period The building with the blown out wall is the dining hall. Campers did not sleep there. It was however a gathering point, as was rec hall.

Trump's FEMA has a lot to answer for, but it didn't slash early warning systems. A combination of complacency and unwillingness to invest in potential disasters meant that people on the ground did not ever invest in early warning systems.

Jane Ragsdale was tribe Captain at Mystic when I was a first-year camper, in 1973. She was an amazing human being. So was Dick Eastland. They weren't perfect, and no human is. But they were genuinely kind, compassionate, well-meaning individuals.
