Drac, You made such a positive impact on both of my son's, Josh and Jonathan at Goshen S.R. Both are find men and working at the camp was impactful and very meaningful. Congrats on the milestone! I hope you keep going to camp forever.
Dan, great article! Thanks for the photos. Larry Z-man

Dan, absolutely great interview with the legend himself. Loved working with Drac over my 7 summers at camp. He was an inspiration to all campers and staff helped me immensely as Reservation Director.

Great to read this, thanks so much for posting. Drac has been a great support to me over the years. I was lucky enough to have learned to shoot a rifle and bow at Marriott with him in 1989. Him and many others planted the seeds that lead to my 18 summers on staff at Goshen, which has opened many doors in my life. His words continue to inspire me.

Dan, Nicely done article on a dedicated Scouter that I have had the honor to work with and call my friend!
