Atwater Vitki Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Was this from a jail/prison or Evangelical summer camp? Sounds like the "rules" we had at Mission Springs (near Santa Cruz, CA) when I was a kid. Blessings of Peace, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just explained "WHY" "We had to" go to Mission Springs just before Christmas in 1963 when taking my brother to Treasure Island...long, long day for me...and yes my Mother did mail a whole box of cards from there. I was too young to realize any connection to the "Holy City of the Evangelical Covenants"...it also now reminds me of why Mum always went to Bob and Ann Anderson's in Ripon (Bethany Covenant)...kitchen supervisory staff...as they went up to MS every year over Christmas...Mom would take a cake, dinner (something special) to them every Dec, week or so before Christmas and her hand made, big red and green box she kept all her Christmas cards in...hmmm.Rev. Dreed...you have solved a family mystery for me...of course one that I never thought about much until now, reading your post, but now solved none the less as me Mum was always "one upper" "had to be proper" etc...the UK show Keeping up Appearances...Hyacinth...That's my Mother to a tee...except far more oriented around the church!!! Have a good one, enjoy, and I'd like to hear more about your Mission Springs experiences some day...I still have nightmares about that place.... literal nightmares, same 2 or 3 for close to 50 years.Blessings of Peace, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
