Eagle Ceremony

Eagle Ceremony
My grandfather and I on the way up Camel's Hump, October 1987

This picture was taken in October of 1987. That is my grandfather behind me. My father is the photographer. This picture was taken as part of a slideshow that I used in my Eagle Court of Honor ceremony. I had this and other pictures timed to display according to wording in the typical ceremony script. In this picture, I am looking up at the summit, "with much further to go," which was part of the Second Class blurb.

I have had this picture on my wall for many years. My grandfather has long since passed away. My father was always envious of the trip my grandfather took with me that day because it is something my grandfather did not do with my father when he was a youth.
