We are sorry to hear of the passing of Colin "Soft Rocky" McGregor. Together with Iso "Farmer McGregor" he built the organic gardens and provided years of leadership and physical, intellectual, financial, moral, and prayer support for Tucker House and Country Fun. Campers and alumni will remember his enthusiastic teachings about geology ... and the fact that he could race them to the quarry (and often win, even as an elder!). He had fantastic slide-shows of his travels and learnings from around the world. Cedar still uses some of his hand-drawn fossil explanations during Rock Talk times.
