Thanks to Don Perley for supplying this year's prank.
10/1/07: Week 3 loss
Walter Lind, long time Week 3 camper, passed away at home on
September 21
after a too short, relentless battle
with pancreatic cancer. His service was held September 28 at the First
Church of Belmont, Unitarian Universalist, where he
and his wife Kathy were long-time members. Thanks so much for the
large outpouring of support
from his many Three Mile friends. Walter will be fondly remembered for
his grace and good humor, his
daily swim around the island, his quick wit and wacky skits, and for his
commitment to strong friendships that he shared
with so many. The family requests that donations in lieu of flowers be
made to their church, 404 Concord Ave, Belmont, MA 02478.

9/11/07: Nicholas Sharp
Further memories of Nick, and a larger version of the photo at right, are on a
separate page.
With great sadness we report the death of Nicholas Sharp on August 17,
2007. Nick, age 17, was a camper for twelve years, coming each summer with
his family from Maryland during Week 5. After struggling with mental
illness for several years, Nick took his own life. He was curious by
nature and, as his family shared, was ready to explore the next plane.
Nick was a lover of the natural world with passions for birding,
photography, boating, and archery. As a trumpet player, Nick often played
the bugle for the camp and his contributions to the community will be
remembered with fondness.
He was a thoughtful and kindhearted individual and his life was a gift to
all who knew him. His death is a great loss to the Three Mile Island
community.
Nick is survived by his mother, Sherry Sharp, sisters Natalie and Nina
Sharp, father Greg Sharp, and grandfather Dave Sharp.
Condolences may be sent to the Sharp Family:
