Jan Farrington ’46 at Camp Whippoorwill, located on the shores of Augur Lake in the northeastern Adirondacks.
Happy for the Happy Camper
Thank you for your profile on Jan Gucker Farrington ’46 (“Happy Camper,” Spring 2024).
I’ve known Jan for more than 50 years, and I will say that the life-changing impact she’s had on thousands of campers and staff members at North Country Camps cannot be overstated. She is as revered as she is beloved, as kind as she is direct, and as boundless in her affection for camp as even the most enthusiastic kiddos in her orbit.
Happy camper, standard bearer, and repository of nearly a century of all things camp, Jan is a living legend.
From the Camp Lincoln end of Augur Lake to you down there at the Whippoorwill rowing dock, hats off to you, Jan!
Matthew Hickey ’88
Interim Director, Camp Lincoln
Associate Director, North Country Camps
Correction:
In the Spring 2024 article “AI Project Preserves History of ‘Comfort Women’ During WWII” we improperly titled Professor Peipei Qiu as Associate Professor. She is Professor of Chinese and Japanese on the Louise Boyd Dale and Alfred Lichtenstein Chair and is the Chair of the Department of Chinese and Japanese.
