Subject: "Farwell Spirit 1960s"... a sharing of memories ...

Hello Farwell Friends!
Recently, a new Facebook group called "Farwell Spirit 1960s" was created by an alum from the 60's. I was delightfully surprised to watch the number of members grow from three to seven to now eighteen in a matter of days! There are many Farwell Facebook groups out there which reflect friendship and happy memories of summers past and present. However, this group now stands out in my mind as representing the quintessential "Farwell Spirit" as the group was so perfectly named.

I soon began to daydream of Candle Light: my favorite Farwell tradition where the entire camp community stands together for the last time in the friendship circle up at the cook out field; poems are read, songs are sung, and we each light our own candle from one flame. We are in darkness, but for the blazing fire we surround. As the flame is passed from Farwellite to Farwellite, my gaze is always focused on watching the dark silhouettes of strangers transform into glowing friendly faces which I have held dear all summer.
The "Farwell Spirit 1960s" Facebook group is like the Candle Light flame, lighting up the faces of Farwellites from around the world who were once only silhouettes in our memories.

Hugs,
Marley
