Gary Gorchoff

It is true that “H” and Sharon are the folks behind the scene of Timberlane, but equally important is Gary Gorchoff. Never before has Timberlane experienced the skillful, graceful leadership of such a unique human being.

His authority as assistant director is evenly expressed as well as respected. Gory scoffs at the crude verbal approach and rejects any kind of physical method to accomplish his duties. Rather, Gerry uses a special psychologically calming tone to implement his authority.

Gary’s clearly organized practical mind is prevalent whether he be aiding in remedying a calamity or merely packing gear for some outing set up. His practically illegible writing scrawls out list after list of important items that need immediate attention if Timberlane is to function as smoothly as it does.

No other assistant director could have maintained the awesome power that Gory was able to when Laryngitis forced him to write (illegibly) his every command on paper. Who else but Terry would rise at 8:00 A.M. on “lazy” Sunday mornings to make eggs and omelettes for the entire camp, with a head full of greasy hair as his only reward.

The guy has come up with more camp “lingo” set ups than any one else in Timber-history. Although always serious about his position at camp, Gucci will often be the first to burst into fits of laughter at the appropriate tie. He’s “H’s” right hand man and number three in command (Sharon is #1 and “H” is #2). Gary has been an incredible asset to Camp Timberlane and is greatly needed and loved by all. With such a wonderful disposition and unique approach to authority, Gary Gorchoff is the epitome of the action that runs Timberlane. Thanks for everything Jer.

Sincerely,
A Secret Admirer
