We start listing them in theMay issue and usually have even more inthe June issue. You can check them outbeginning on Page 29. To make it easierfor readers, we put everything plus ourmuseum listings in the middle eightpages of this issue so you can pull it outand keep it around while you figure outwhat to do with the kids this summer.I have a soft spot for summer camps. Atage 7 to 9 I went to a YMCA camp in theSan Bernardino Mountains, not too farfrom my home in Redlands, Calif. We didcrafts, sports, hiking and listened to sto-ries and sang songs at the campfire eachnight. We slept in sleeping bags in cabinsand the counselors were our heroes.When I was 10 we moved to Paris,France for two years during my dads lasttour of duty with the Air Force. Summerwould have been pretty boring around thehouse in a foreign country, so my parentssent me to a 8-week boys camp for mili-tary dependents near Pisa, Italy. The most interesting thing about thatcamp was getting there. My parents tookme to the train station in Paris and madesure I got on board with my passport,train ticket and suitcase. I think the triplasted 10 or 12 hours. When the traincrossed the border into Italy, the customsofficials were a bit surprised to find an11-year-old American boy riding alone. Icarried a U.S. military dependents pass-port, which they didnt recognize and hadto verify with their superior.Riding the train fascinated me. I keptlooking out an open window to feel thespeed of the train in the open air. Justbefore I got to Pisa, I went to the bath-room and discovered by face was blackwith soot from the engine!Someone from the camp (which was runby U.S. teachers from the militaryschools in West Germany) met me inPisa. He called me Charles, since thatwas my first name listed on the registra-tion form (I use my middle name). I wastoo shy to correct him, so I spent the nexteight weeks being called Charles. I really should remember more aboutthe camp. After all, it was a series of fourtwo-week sessions, so I ended up doingevery field trip four times. But whenyoure 11 years old, you dont pay atten-tion to the things you later wished youdid. I know we had field trips to Florenceand saw Michelangelos David, but Idont remember much about it. I havemuch more vivid memories of gettingsunburned on the beach.I have a vague recollection of walkingup the Leaning Tower of Pisa and goingto the marble quarries where the famoussculptors got their raw material. I boughtfour beautiful marble eggs at the gift shopfor the grand total of $1 as a gift for mymother. When I got home she said shewould have sent me more money if shehad known I could buy marble eggs for aquarter apiece.* * *Some readers accused me of using a 20-year-old picture for my column (it wasactually less than two years old). But justto let people know Im not hiding myage, heres a new shot, beard and all.* * *When I started the Scene in 1993, it neverwould have occurred to me to try to lookup information about El Paso on some-thing called the Internet.
