It was a year! Covid continued to rear its ugly head, keeping family and friends apart, but not for long. Our family, spread out between California and Florida, managed to get together. Two hurricanes ravaged our Florida property while we watched one of them on television from Michigan. Four days later, we arrived to no electricity, five acres of downed trees, some roof damage, and a small amount of water intrusion. We were thankful for good connections in the tree, roof, and building industries to help with repairs. And we were incredibly thankful for FEMA, who collected the vegetation from trimmed and lost trees and debris that lined our roadways. Stay tuned for details this summer for the 2024 Camp Maqua reunion, which is in the planning stages by our committee to celebrate 100 years on the Loon Lake property. Happy New Year!
