In the summer of 2005, I became the Assistant Director & Program Director of CAB’s Summer Day Camp. I moved up to be the Director for the summers of 2006-07.
I finally got to pick a camp name!! I decided on TallChief.
TallChief was chosen because:
1. I was tall and wanted to be in charge.
2 I canoed with the Kamikazes Kanoers and Native Americans are associated with canoes.
3.I grew up in Oklahoma and lived on Osage Street.
4.There are 2 Indian ballerinas from Oklahoma named Tallchief-Maria & Marjorie (I have met both), and since I was a ballerina--I took the name TallChief.
