It is with great sadness we learned Wayland Rennie passed away recently. Wayland and his wife Margaret were long time supporters of camp as well as members of the folk dance club in Richmond. Laurie Rennie was Lee Ann’s best friend growing up. Living just one block apart they were constant additions to each families dinner table, excursions, and all manner of gatherings. Wayland taught carving at camp having mastered the trade often carving water fowl which he studied as he sailed the waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
