Howie Katz writes "It's been too long": I started at North Woods when I was 7 as a Junior in Blackfoot and ended at 20 something, as a counselor in the Sr. Section, (though I've been told I never stopped acting like a camper). There are too many people and memories to begin to recount, but the summers I spent at camp remain among my most cherished, and the experiences, lessons and values taken from North Woods have shaped much of my character and still impact my thoughts and decisions to this day.  I think about camp very often, especially around Memorial Day, when I really yearn to return to NH reunions.  My daughter's birth on Memorial Day 1990, and our move to Michigan have put a damper on these trips, but my thoughts are always there. Since camp I have been married to Cindy for 19 fantastic years and have two spectacular daughters, (Sarah: 14 and Emily: 12).  I've maintained a love for nature and the outdoors and have tried to instill it in my kids, though not altogether successfully, as an open air shopping mall will qualify as outdoors to them.  But we keep trying, we've taken several family camping trips to the southwest, trekking through southern Utah, and hiking, (and yes, shopping), in Red Rocks country in Sedona, AZ.   I've had more luck with real camping on trips, "with the guys",  to Alaska, the Canadian Rockies on horseback, and whitewater trips on several rivers in Maine, Colorado, Utah and Canada.  As for everyday life, we relocated to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in July 2002 after 12 years in Upton, MA.  An oxymoron of the automotive business, (19 years with Chrysler, now DaimlerChrysler since the German acquisition), is that success is rewarded by the opportunity to live in greater Detroit.  (to convince the family we had to tell the kids we were moving to "Michigan", not to Detroit, which worked for the first few months anyway).  My current title, the 11th in 19 years, is National Sales Manager for Fleet and Commercial Sales.  The job is dynamic and exciting, as is the industry, and gives me a great opportunity to travel throughout the country, and rack up frequent flyer miles and Marriott Reward points, so it's interesting to read up on where everyone is, as I've been in most of your areas sometime in the last two years.  I'd love to hear from any old NW friends and recount fond memories. "All in all it was a great trip"
