I met my friend and
freshman roommate Julie Casuse Gagnon in Palmyra, New York today. She
hasn't camped in years, but is still clever enough to help me figure
out how to get the screen tent up. We're meeting halfway between her
house in Maine and mine in Baltimore. Who would have guessed we'd
both end up so far from the western United States?
We hadn't seen each
other since graduating from college in 1976. She hasn't changed a
bit. I think we look pretty good for a couple of old ladies in their
60's! I made a nice stew for dinner and we heated it up in a
crockpot.
Julie brought the
s'mores! They were just as good without a fire!
We went over to the
Hill Cumorah pageant in the evening, where we got to mingle with the
cast. The setting is pretty impressive! Much grander than it was in
1981!
We met wicked King
Noah, but he was nice to us.
We enjoyed the
pageant. It was a synopsis of the Book of Mormon, with fire, water
and colored lights. My favorite was third Nephi, when Christ comes
out of the sky. We might have to come back tomorrow night to see how
they do that!
