About This Site: My name is Rick Balsamo.

This site is a record of my experiences in pictures and words.

1979 MDA Camp Hastings -- Part 2

Here are more pictures, looking back 35 years, from MDA Camp 1979, at Camp Hastings on Hastings Lake in northern Illinois.   A few of the photos in my 1979 album have "BS" written on the back, which I think indicates they were taken by Bob Solario; Bob and I were both in Cabin 17 this year.
