  2. Thanks for the names - I don't think I ever knew who everyone was. If you'd like a scan of the original photos, send me an email at campsongs@cybermesa.com and you can pass it on to whoever you know.

  3. Thank you so much. We have an original print of the photo. I am still in contact with a number of girls in the group, as well as assistant leader Nancy Horner. I will pass your message along. Many precious He Bani Gani memories. Good times.
