People come and go throughout life. Some people touch it for a moment and you continue on unchanged, some people linger in the background much to your chagrin or happiness but they are a constant, while others seem to drop in for awhile and are able to leave a lasting imprint on your being and you remain forever marked by their presence.
It's many years (even decades) later and I found myself thinking of one such person last night. He was the Camp Director of the overnight camp I went to when I was 10-14 years old. Simply, he was an amazing influence on us. He seemed to single me out and made me feel very special. In retrospect, he was such a natural born inspirational leader that I'm sure he made every single camper feel the same way.
I've often wondered what happened to Walter over the years and so I looked him up on Facebook and found him. He's retired now but we exchanged a few emails and I was able to tell him what a great camp director he was.
Once in awhile, it's great to reach out to someone from our past like that and I encourage everyone to do the same. Feels good for the soul.
