J. readers responded heartily to our request for camp memories. While these are personal stories told from many points of view — from a high school student struck by swine flu along with 90 other campers, to an 87-year-old man who still carries a flag for Camp Tawonga — every story points to a single truth: The summer camp experience creates indelible, lifelong memories.
