Actually, he’s left.  I don’t know how many knitters out there will know Jim Ryun… and the significance of having him at our camp… but.. he’s HUGE…

Jim Ryun is a congressman in Kansas these days, but in his teens… he was a world renowned runner… He’s the first teenager ever to break the 4 minute mile!  He was 17 when he ran sub 4… AMAZING…  He’s held world records in the Mile, 800 meters, some relays, and other races too!  He’s a totally down to earth, very spiritually driven man, and it was a pleasure and honor to meet him.  The kids here at camp loved him and loved his talk last night!
What a wonderful treat!
