It is always a treat to have camp alumni stop by to visit.  Yesterday, July 8, we had a wonderful visit with Will Miller.  Will was on a business trip in this area with his employer, Phonetree, which specializes in medical software.  Will was originally from Knoxville, TN and was a camper for six summers and a counselor one summer.  Will and his wife, Kenzie, now live in Winston-Salem, NC.  Their two sons, Trey and Duncan, were also Alpine Campers.  Trey is in his 4th year at UVA and Duncan will be a sophomore this fall at the Naval Academy.  Will has two nephews at Alpine this summer.  They are Ian and Cameron Bush from Appleton, WI.  Ian is on Work Crew and Cameron is a first year chief.  This is Ian’s 10th summer and Cameron’s 8th summer at camp.

Will says he still recalls with fondness his first summer as a camper, living in Longbow cabin with John Gilbert as his counselor.  He attributes his faith in Christ to his counselors who nurtured him and provided a strong moral compass for him during those many summers on Lookout Mountain.  Will and his family have a long history with Alpine Camp, and it was such a treat to have him back on the mountain.
