35 Years Ago Today, MTV Debuted
What were you doing in the summer of 1981???
I was in between my freshman year and my sophomore year. 9th grade was at Jr High and 10th grade was at the High School. I just turned 15 in July. I went to my first year of Sr High youth camp and in the annual All Star game of the campers vs the camp staff, in a 5-5 tie in the top of the 7th inning, I got the winning hit, a double to center field that pushed two runs across the plate for an eventual 7-5 camper victory. The campers didn't win again for 15 years. Jim Larson preached that camp and it was epic.
The summer camps between 9th-12th grades changed my life.
