Adam Billingslea - Two Love Stories Merge

Adam Billingslea
Two Love Stories Merge

Adam came to Mowglis in 2002 as a member of Panther. A Florida boy thrown into the NH Wilds he jumped into the experience with both feet and has never looked back. What he didn't know as he went through his two years as a camper and then a number of years on the staff that his love for Mowglis was not the only love story that he would be able to tell of his Mowglis days - but you will have to listen to the podcast to learn more.

John Harmon came to Mowglis in 1963 at the urging of former Tripmaster Gaius Merwin Jr. 1963 was the very first year of Mowglis under the watchful gaze of the Holt-Elwell Memorial Foundation and Mowglis Director William B. Hart.

As a first-year counselor, John quickly established himself as a talented and respected member of the staff. In fact, in 1964, Mr. Hart promoted him to Tripmaster. A position that he takes great pride in - to this very day.

He was tripmaster on the fateful Washington Squad trip in which David Rittenhouse was hurt when a refrigerator-sized boulder broke loose and trapped David's arm beneath it. His cool-headed handling of that emergency prompted Mowglis nurse Roberta King to tell him that he was meant to be a doctor, not a lawyer, and it was this life-changing event that would lead him to a distinguished career as a surgeon.

Mowglis in the The White Mountains in Winter

Mowglis Memories:

The White Mountains in Winter

Had great fun with Bill Boicourt, Andy Popinchalk and Paul Popinchalk talking about Mowglis in the Whites in winter as well as some other winter trips they had done. Sorry if you tried it earlier and found it cut off...it's fixed now.
