23 September, 2016 (Alex Olson)

Today was almost like our first few days together at HFC as we all had our individual along with group chores to accomplish except now we all had a good idea how to get them done.  Our day wad filled with task after task until we got most everything done.  This afternoon we had a surprise visit from the one and only Doc Lupton which led to introductions from everyone along with a good talk with him about the history of ECOEE and how different it is from 40 years ago to how it is now, but also how some aspects are still the same.  It’s crazy to think that a program founded 40 years ago has impacted 100's of student’s lives while preparing them for their future careers.  I am grateful to be part of the legacy of what ECOEE has become and look forward to all of the memories and experiences that will be in the next two months.  As we finished up most of our chores to be done for the day, we had a delicious dinner of beef stroganoff that we had the pleasure of sharing with Doc Lupton. Many stories were shared between us tonight with so many more to come tomorrow during Lodge and Libations.  It’s gonna be a hot one tomorrow so I’ll be thankful for the opportunity for the air conditioning at HFC while it lasts since there won’t be any for a while once we leave on Monday!  Hopefully my parents will recognize me when I finally get to see them or else they will be asking Jeff what happened to their son.
