Fred was an amazing, free-spirited, cooperative soul--and many campers miss him dearly. At camp, and in the off season, we could always count on Fred to have a new scheme for promoting co-ops, getting more people involved, and brainstorming new ways to generate funds for the movement. He was the visionary and prime organizer of two co-op cabins at the Camp Sierra site: Toad House and Mousse House. And Fred would always show up for--and often host--any discussions on the history and future of cooperatives, including Co-op Camp's. He conceived and bankrolled the Convers Certificates program that makes camp more affordable for a lot of familes. We held a memorial for Fred during the first week of camp 2004, and will be dedicating an outdoor game table in his honor at camp in 2005. Feel free to honor Fred's memory by contributing to an inspiring, cooperative cause.
