Alumni Marriage - Brandy Mangan!

Brandy Mangan, a former camper from 1999-2004, spent a great 6 years at GSC. She graduated from culinary school and moved to New Hampshire to work as a cook at the Balsams Grand Hotel and Resort. It was there that she met Todd Moren. The two were married on January 2, 2008, and Brandy went from Brandy Mangan to Mrs. Brandy Moren

A Slipper Couple and a Tribute Song

Marc Lyman & Irene Ayzenberg met at GSC before marrying last year. I found this video on YouTube; it is Mark, Irene's brother and a former GSC camper, performing a song that he wrote for their wedding. The GSC reference is early, and I have the lyrics posted below.


The Lyrics to the song (the last two lines are in Russian):
They met at golden slipper camp
Marc was a track star, Irene a badminton champ
Late October of 2005, Marc proposed;
I can't say it greatly changed their lives

Cuz it's been a 10 years comin'
They've been happy for oh so long
It's been 10 years comin'
And they're still goin' so goin' so strong

I had plenty of time to write this song

They went through so much together
Gave support and love no matter the weather
I know that for the rest of their lives
This love will continue to grow and thrive

From the weeklong business trips
To Marc cooking dinners throughout Irene's exam time flips
I don't know how they did it
Must be that Love of this kind is impossible to split

There's just one more thing I wanna to say
Their adopted kittens are great and fun for today
I'm all for family increase
But I'd rather it be a baby nephew or niece

Cuz it's been a 10 years comin'
They've been happy for oh so long
It's been 10 years comin'
And they're still goin' so goin' so strong

There's no better person
For Marc or Irene
Лучше человека нету для марка или для иры
во всем мире

Another Alumni Ties the Knot!

Sara Gillard, a former counselor, has had quite a bit of good news recently: she married Andrew Behal on August 11, 2007, and she and Andrew expect their first child on August 3, 2008! The wedding was in Buckley, Wales, UK, where the new Mr & Mrs Behal currently reside.

Sara worked at Golden Slipper Camp in 2001 through the Camp America program. She was a Bunk A counselor and proud member of Tastykakes and Spider-Man during that summer's Olympic Bowls. While Sara is unsure whether she is expecting a boy or girl, one thing is certain: we expect the baby to be a Golden Slipper camper in 2015!
