Time to get to learn something about another former Deer Runner. This weeks Alumni Spotlight is on Karol Kennedy Edwards. Karol was out at Camp from 1966-1975 and also 1979.
CDR Alumni: What brought you to Camp Deer Run as a camper or staff member? How did you find out about camp?
Karol: My sister Jan Kennedy Nichols told me about Camp, and I wanted to do anything she got to do.
CDR Alumni: Share a favorite memory from your time at CDR.
Karol: Stars in the sky. Savior Breathe an Evening Blessing. Hymn Time. The feeling of being surrounded by people who loved Jesus.
CDR Alumni: How did your time at CDR impact your life?
Karol: I came to know God through his creation and the love of his children. I made life long friends like Cathy Watts Burson and "The Spencers".
CDR Alumni: Tell us everything you would like people to know about your life since camp. What do you do for a living, are you married, do you have kids, etc.
Karol: I married Phil Edwards. We have two children. Bethany is 24 and is teaching ESL kindergarten in Cairo, Egypt. Matt is 22 and lives at home working part time and planning to go back to school next year. We live in Longview and worship at Alpine Church of Christ working in the missions and counseling ministries. I have retired from 29 years of teaching elementary school.
CDR Alumni: Please tell us more about your family, names, ages, anything you would like to share.
Karol: Both of our children were baptized at Camp Deer Run. That was a very special blessing for me.
Thank you so much Karol for sharing with us about your life. It is such a blessing to be able to hear how Camp has impacted the lives of so many people over the years. If you are a CDR Alumni and have not filled out an Alumni Spotlight Survey you should do so now by clicking right here.
Check back in the next day or two to see about an announcement that will be made regarding a chance to get together with old friends out at Camp.
Hail, Dear Ol' Deer Run,
