Peter Kingsley

Listen here


Peter Kingsley came, officially, to Mowglis in 1963 beginning in Baloo - at that time the youngest dorm in the pack - after 2 years as the child of Director Darwin P. Kingsley. His brother Jim also has a storied history at Mowglis, including a stint as Cub Director back in the early 2000s.

 

In this interview, he shares with us his own memories of Mowglis including his fondness for counselor Shad Farouqi of India John Harmon, and Bill Hart Jr. as well as his memories of his father who was the director at Mowglis following the retirement of Colonel Elwell.

 

Peter has been an instrumental part of the process to document Mowglis history and is a regular at work days and other pre-covid activities.

 

Peter shares with us the very interesting story of coming to live in NH in recent years in a unique co-housing community in Peterborough as well as his love for contra dancing.
