SierrawrotethefollowinglettertoTomonhisretirementfromtheJACFBoard:
I want you to know that your sponsorship, and that of the foundation has really changed my life. I have had four amazing summers and I have grown to be a better person than I was when I first met you. This opportunity shaped who I am and who I now see myself becoming. I definitely don’t know all of the answers but Cheley is a place that summer after summer answers a few questions and leaves me not only with a little more clarity but also with a voracious hunger for more questions.
I now look at my boots with memories and magic. My feet are regarded with the highest respect for the miles they have crossed and the beauty they have seen. For this opportunity I will never be able to thank you enough and please know that I will always have you in my heart, for this amazing experience that has provided me life-long friendships and lots of experiences that I have been so lucky to have so early in my life. It has inspired my spirit of adventure and further, and perhaps most importantly, it has inspired my own personal code of living.
Because of you and the amazing gifts Camp Cheley has given me I am sure I am going to have an impact in people’s lives. I can’t explain how much it meant to me that following camp this year you called me personally to tell me how proud you were that I had earned my ‘Golden Key’ and want you to know that without you that amazing experience would not have been possible.
