looking for two people

[cartridge 10]

I was in troop 16, Marywood during the 60's. Had the pleasure of serving on Chin-Be-Gota campstaff 62-64. Can anyone tell me the whereabouts of Pete Klienpaste or Rich Johnson? Thanks

How much time have you spent on Google?

 

Kleinpaste might be easier to Google if you combine his name in quotes with something that you know about him. For instance his name plus "Scout" returns a legal case in which the automobile of a Peter Kleinpaste was involved in an accident during a

 

"Camporee being held on May 9, 1959, at Savanna Palisades State Park. Defendant Peter Kleinpaste was employed as a professional Scouter by the U.S. Grant Council of the Boy Scouts and had general charge of the Camporee."

In 2004 jcole12 mentioned both Rich Johnson and Peter Kleinpaste (spelled "e" before "i") in the thread "CHIN-BE-GOTA revisited 20 years later:"

I see now that you have posted there as well. Some of the contributors (Cliff Golden, for instance) are very well connected in the Scouting world. You might "bump" that thread again, or try to contact them individually to see if any of them reply.

While I don't know either of the people that your looking for. I also don't know who you are or your reason for wanting to find these people?

I kinda think if I did know them that I wouldn't be posting in an open forum or in private where they are without first talking or contacting them.

Ea.

jcole12 remembers "Rich Johnson leading wonderful campfires."

 

Did Rich ever mention being incarcerated as a boy for being a "fire bug" (or a passion for electronics)? If so, check out the author of Abominable Firebug:

I do genealogy research. From the resources I have available to me I found a 1988 record for Peter E Kleinpaste listing an address of Three Fires Council's camp near Rochelle, Illinois. Three Fires Council is a merger of seven different councils one of which I beleive owned Chin-Be-Gota.

 

I have also found records for a Peter Edwin Kleinpaste who was born in 1930 and died in 1990 in Illinois.

 

The US Grant Council that Kudu mentions is now part of Blackhawk Area Council which is where Rochelle camp is located.

 

Rich Johnson would return too many "hits" without additional information so I did not even bother with him.
