I remember when he ran the Revels Session at Pinewoods. It lasted only a couple of years at the time, and I was working on crew. I remember thinking how bizarre it was to hear Christmas music in summer time. Crew members would joke about it. But I loved the singing in the camphouse, and stood at a distance in awe of him over the years that I saw him at camp. Without the efforts of families like the Langstaffs, and of Jack in particular, I would not be dancing today. I am grateful to him and his family for the work that they have done to keep an aesthetic that I treasure alive today. mrshewmaker@gmail.com
