Jay Kranis: A Mowglis Brother by Choice and A Keystone of Mowglis
It is said that we humans have two families, those into which we are born and those we choose. Holiday tables are filled with the families we choose and who choose us. They express the power of belonging and camaraderie borne of our free will and affections. Oftentimes, these members of our families are the ones for whom we have the greatest affection. Jay Kranis is just such a Mowglis brother. He is a brother of our choosing - and of his own choice.
Jay first heard about Mowglis from John Sprung, whose boys Jason and Larry had come to Mowglis through their mutual friend, Mowglis icon Donald Cummings. Jay's own sons, Andrew and Jordan, were Mowglis campers, and today, are a great source of pride for him. Andrew is a celebrated architect and preservationist, teacher and tour guide in Italy and Jordan is an Emmy-winning producer who from time to time runs with the same crowd as Mowglis brother Benji Ringe.
Jay was a member of the Holt-Elwell Board of Trustees at the critical time in the later 1990s and early 2000s when Mowglis' future was very much in doubt, though he is quick to say that the members of the board themselves were never in doubt. Thankfully, their determination saw Mowglis through that period, and today, he and the other members of those boards can take great pride in the vigor of Mowglis's life. We are all fortunate for the gift of his time and talents that helped to bring us to this place.
