We woke on August 3, day 2 of Trustees’ Weekend, at 7:30 a.m. We had mines, breakfast, and a quick and efficient duty period, followed by activities, including one last outing for crew and Senior singles and Sub-junior doubles tennis matches. Soak took place at 11:45, and was followed by upper camp inspection, lunch, a shortened rest, and inspection. Lunch announcements included some memorable moments. Bubbles was presented with a chair to honor his life of commitment to Pasquaney, and Mr. Vinnie gave remarks. Retired maintenance director Mike Grant and his wife, Marilyn Deans, were honored for their six years of service to Pasquaney. And there was also a bit of humor provided by Jafar Sharipov, who, with Kirk’s help, executed a clever announcement in which his inspection mascot, “Mr. Crabs,” was attached to a string and lifted into the rafters each time Jafar tried to turn around to see him. The afternoon activity period featured the Boys-Council baseball game, won by the council 11-1, and a Junior singles tennis final in which Henry Brown defeated Costa Somers. Finishing touches were put on projects in the shop, and play rehearsals and dinner followed the activity period. Campfire was the Trustees’ Weekend play, Leading Ladies, directed by Charlie Pink and Will Helm. The cast put on an excellent performance, bringing energy and endless humor to a captivated audience. After mines and prayers, taps blew at 10:00 p.m.
