I must admit, though I went to 4 years of sleep away camp, I mostly hated it. I did make a lot of good friends though!

Wow. I want to win this book! I love the idea of a love letter to summer camp and I love the idea, as a writer, to be prompted by my best memory of camp. I have lots. But all of my best memories of camp start and end with Jodie — who was my best friend and my bunk bed mate for three summers at overnight camp in Maine. Each summer she got the bottom bed (with her lovey, Raggedy Andy) and i on the top bunk (with my lovey, my stuffed bear-dog Floppy). Jodie (and her twin brother Josh) were the source of endless giggles for me all summer long — and Jodie taught me how to speak gibberish “Diddigyou liddigearn tiddigo?” I miss Jodie terribly. She passed away a few years ago from breast cancer. But her memory lives in me so strong; which is only to be expected after having spent three summers together during such formative years. Thanks for the opportunity to publicly remember Jodie and my awesome summers at camp!
