The third week-end of August, a gang of friends from St. Lawrence University classes of '76, '77, '78 (with a few special invited guests) hold an annual outing on Big Island on Racquette Lake, through the generosity of Lynx Camp owner Walt Linck and his family. This year marked our 14th anniversary on Big Island, and it was a wonderful weekend. Jim Serio was instrumental in arranging this venue, as the brood of families and friends had outgrown other venues around Syracuse.

The roster of usual participants includes:

Jim Serio
Dan, Esther, Jenny (18), Tommy (16), and Patty (12) Kurtz
Hilary and Scott Bloor, Taylor (18), Carter (13)
Mari-Anne Pisarri (MAP), godson Patrick (18)
Tim and Margie Creamer, Jennie (20), Cy (15), Terry (12), Meaghan (6)
Sue and Tom Tomlinson, Kate (18), Scott (15)
Bob Sampson and Lauren (17), Bobby (16), Ryan (12), DJ (9)
Leslie Wilkinson
Lorrie Anthony (and occasionally Tracey - 24)
Bonnie (Sampson) and Allen Oxley, Weston, Robin, Megan
Debbie Williams and Scott Hopkins, Graham, Timmy

Annual olympic events have been enjoyed by all participants:

Fishing

Trivial Pursuit
Boating, tubing, waterskiing, windsurfing, swimming
Other events too numerous to mention

It has been a joy for us to have this opportunity to keep close and to have our children grow up knowing each other. Special thanks go to Jim Serio for continuing to schedule and host this marvelous week-end.
