Jane Lichtman – what a wonderful woman you were! I have known her since 1988 when I started volunteering for a 2-week stint as camp doctor, caring for campers and counselors (along with the camp nurses), and have done so each summer since (this summer will be my 32nd consecutive year). Camp Tapawingo is such a special place – not just a beautiful and peaceful patch of timbered land on a spectacular lake (Keys Pond), but thanks to Jane it was also a vibrant camp where the girls attending were in a safe and nurturing environment. Jane ran a “tight ship’ – could be demanding and directive, and she let all know (campers, counselors and staff) of her expectations to maintain high standards and full participation by the campers in the many activities offered. But she was also a loving leader who cared deeply for all involved at Camp Tapawingo, and enriched the lives of countless girls over the years. My wife and I came to love Jane as a sister, and consider her passing as having diminished our family.
