Having worked on staff at Chin-Be-Gota 62-64 can anyone tell me the outcome of two of the most memorable men that I knew at the time: Camp director Pete Klienpaste and Rich Johnson?
Pete Kleinpaste , as I recall, passed away in 1990 according to an article in the DeKalb Chronicle June 1, 1990 . (edit- RS)
Pete was the live-in caretaker at the then-new Two Rivers camp near Rochelle, Illinois.
I served on aquatics staff in 77 and 78, and as aquatics director in 84. I have so many fun memories of that place. What a shame to lose it, and Chief Shabbona in Lakewood/Townsend (that lake was so cold and deep!).
