The Max and Marion Caldwell
Foundation

This
foundation recognizes the lifelong contribution of two of summer
camping’s most important pioneers. Max and Marion Caldwell are
also the two most influential mentors that Ann & Hobie have had
over their years in camping. Ann & Hobie met at Kennolyn and
worked there for three summers. They sent their girls to
Kennolyn and have referred many campers to Kennolyn through out
the years. Hobie was a camper at Kennolyn and his mother was
on staff. We obviously have a very special place in our hearts
for the Caldwell family and encourage your support of this
foundation. Ann and Hobie continue to maintain close
relationships with all the Caldwell family and with the Kennolyn
administrators. |

Ann & Hobie have had
a long and rewarding association with the Cheley family and their fine

Camps as teenagers and Ann & Hobie had the opportunity to know Jack
Cheley early in their career. We have been blessed to know Don and
Carole Cheley, the current directors and work with them in various
professional associations. |
