Barbara May Cameron

Human rights activist Barbara May Cameron was born in 1954 in Fort Yates, North Dakota. She moved to San Francisco, where she became a respected advocate for the rights of Native Americans and LGBT people. Cameron co-founded Gay American Indians, and co-chaired the Lesbian Agenda for Action. From 1989 until 1992, she was executive director of Community United Against Violence, an organization that assists victims of hate crimes and domestic violence. Cameron was active in several LGBT and AIDS organizations, and won the Harvey Milk Award for Community Service.

Barbara May Cameron died in 2002 at the age of 47.

[alberto-balsalm]

Hey, you!

Is the legislature of your state in the process of outlawing your existence? Do you want to move, but can’t afford to live in any of the big gay meccas? Consider...

~~~Upstate New York~~~

Yes, this undervalued part of the state features:

Queer-friendly state laws, including the 2019 Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) ᵃ

Right-wing state politicians usually steamrolled by a large downstate Democratic political base ᵇ

Cheap-ass costs of living compared to everywhere else you’re considering

More queer people than you think

A variety of charming small-to-medium sized cities, each with their own culture and quirky local foods ᶜ

A wide collection of natural parks, including the nation’s largest state park (Adirondack Park)

Within driving distance of various major metropolitan areas (also there’s Amtrak, and the MTA goes as far north as Poughkeepsie)

Not constantly on fire like the West Coast

Abundant water resources due to the Great Lakes and Adirondacks

Weather isn’t as bad as you’ve heard ᵈ

Fewer natural disasters than most of the country ᵉ

Shares land and water borders with Canada, in case the entire country goes to hell in 2024

Ask your local upstater today!

(Footnotes after the cut.)

a. Laws, of course, don’t help you if nobody enforces them, so don’t move to one of the rural counties with a MAGA sheriff who thinks hate crimes don’t exist. Rural areas here aren’t much worse than anywhere else, at least.

b. Upstate NY apologizes for its Republican federal representatives. Especially Elise Stefanik. Christ, what an asshole.

c. No steamed hams, though.

d. Like the two previous bullets, you can thank global warming. Proximity to the Great Lakes is expected to moderate the effects of global warming somewhat, except that it’ll probably make lake effect snow more common. Besides, if you're coming from Montana or the Dakotas, it's probably an improvement.

e. Blizzards happen, but the worst blizzard barely compares to a typical category 4 or 5 hurricane. The historic Buffalo blizzard last year killed 43 people in NY, which is less than half of Hurricane Harvey, and nowhere near what Katrina did. Buffalo gets hit much worse than the rest of the state.

TMZ TV Recap: North Loves Bianca, Dakota's Press Run, Patrick & Brittany

Busy week here at TMZ, and as we finish up the weekend — it’s worth looking back to see what we covered … especially on our TV shows, which were chock-full of good stuff. TMZ Live Play video content TMZ.com Kicking things off on “TMZ Live,” Harvey and Charles tackled this TikTok video that North West threw up on her social account — which she shares with her mom, Kim K — and which got taken…

[crowdvscritic]

round up // NOVEMBER 23 + DECEMBER 23 + JANUARY 24: CROWD vs. CRITIC vs. CHRISTMAS!

November and December push me to the limit—how many movies can I fit in before the end of the calendar year? In 2023 (plus a few bonus days), the answer was more than 130 new releases. And who wants to skip all of their favorite Christmas movies? Because I extend my holiday viewing into January, I fit in almost 90 this year, adding a few more to my all-time must-watch list. Once the Oscar noms were announced, I was already back to my usual shenanigans and had watched my 400th unique movie on Turner Classic Movies. Whether these statistics are cool or pathetic (erm, don’t tell me), I’m grateful for the slowness of Dump-uary and the depth that comes with thinking about the same Oscar-nominated films for several weeks. (Too bad we need to revisit Melissa Villaseñor’s Oscars snub song from SNL.)

To help sum up these three packed months, I’m resurrecting Crowd vs. Critic vs. Christmas: five crowd-pleasers, five critic picks, and five Christmas treats. Who says you can’t make these holiday recommendations part of your February entertainment?

Holiday Crowd-Pleasers

1. SNL Round Up

Studio 8H is making up for lost time after those strikes: 

“Question Quest” (4906 with Emma Stone)

“Beep Beep” (4907 with Adam Driver) - #SoMidwest

“Weekend Update: Chloe Fineman’s Save the Last Dance Holiday Gift” (4907)

“Tiny A** Bag” (4907)

“Christmas Awards Cold Open” (4908 with Kate McKinnon)

"North Pole News: Killer Whale Attack” (4908)

“ABBA Christmas” (4908)

“Yankee Swap” (4908)

“Please Don't Destroy - Roast” (4910 with Dakota Johnson) - As one who still has yet to understand the appeal of the PDD guys, this resonated with me

“The Barry Gibb Talk Show: 2024 Election” (4910)

“Weekend Update: A Guy Named Ethan on the 2024 Oscars Snubs” (4910) - I am...probably only a few years away from turning into Ethan?

2. Triple Feature - Big City Crime Thrillers: No Way Out (1987) + Cop Land (1997) + Widows (2018)

The stars aligned on all of these! In No Way Out (Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 8/10), Kevin Costner is assigned to investigate the murder of his secret lover (Sean Young) in Washington D.C. The twist? The person who assigned him the case was also her lover, Secretary of Defense Gene Hackman. In Cop Land (9/10 // 7.5/10), Sylvester Stallone sheriffs a New Jersey town that houses a corrupt batch of New York City cops (including Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert Patrick) that Robert De Niro is investigating. In Widows (8.5/10 // 8.5/10), Viola Davis, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Rodriguez are completing the heist that killed their husbands (including Liam Neeson) in a corrupt Chicago run by Robert Duvall, Colin Farrell, Brian Tyree Henry, and Daniel Kaluuya. All are twisty, gritty, and thrilling.

3. Godzilla Minus One (2023)

Oh no, there goes Tokyo—but at least it’s going to a spectacle as fun and well-crafted as this one. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 7/10

4. Double Feature - ‘90s Matt Damon Dramas: School Ties (1992) + The Rainmaker (1997)

Because Matt Damon has always been good! Though he’s not always been the good guy: In School Ties (Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 8.5/10), Brendan Fraser must hide his Jewish identity to survive at a prep school in the ‘50s, and bullies like Damon are who he’s most afraid of. In The Rainmaker (9/10 // 8.5/10), Damon is the good guy as a baby-faced lawyer who wants to protect Claire Danes, Teresa Wright, and Mary Kay Place from villains like slick lawyer Jon Voight. Here’s hoping Damon has another coming-of-age movie (as a teacher) and legal thriller in his future.

5. The Jerk (1979)

Not every moment of this movie would fly if made today, but Steve Martin’s episodic adventures in his first journey away from home gave me some of my biggest laughs in months. Crowd: 9.5/10 // Critic: 8/10

More Holiday Crowd-Pleasers: Three Men and a Little Lady (1990) reminds us how much fun it is to let three charismatic movie stars (Ted Danson, Steve Guttenberg, and Tom Selleck) cook // The Mrs. Doubtfire National Tour is fluffy fun // Maggie Moore(s) (2023) is a true crime story that makes me wish Tina Fey and Jon Hamm could become the new Myrna Loy and William Powell // Quiz Lady (2023) lets Will Ferrell live out his Alex Trebek dreams // John Mulaney in Concert Tour is making me count down till his next special is released to get memes about his grandfather, his bus driver, and his son // Reacher Season 2 is the perfect action show to watch with my dad // I’m not sure if Man of the Year (2006) was prescient about the future of politics or if it just understood human nature well enough to anticipate the populist movement and election fraud conversations we’re having today, but this Robin-Williams-as-Jon-Stewart comedy is underrated // The real-world implications of V for Vendetta (2005) are…confusing, but this literary-inspired adventure is still thrilling // Desperado (1995) is an over-the-top, shoot-'em-up Western

Holiday Critic Picks

1. The Best of 2023

2023: a year of products, greed, put-upon employees, and artificial intelligence—and not just in the actors’ and writers’ strikes! It was also a great year for movies, which is why I couldn’t narrow down my list to just 10. Read my top 10 picks for 2023 movies, as well as 28 honorable mentions at ZekeFilm, and then check out the accompanying list on Letterboxd.

I also dug deeper into some of the films mentioned in my Best of 2023 in these reviews:

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - ZekeFilm review

Maestro - ZekeFilm review

Priscilla -  ZekeFilm review, KMOV review, Do You Like Apples discussion, updated Letterboxd Sofia Coppola rankings

2. Double Feature - New Baseball Documentaries: It Ain’t Over (2022) + The League (2023)

I am not a Yankees fan, so who would have guessed that the Yogi Berra documentary It Ain’t Over (Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 8.5/10) would make me cry? And my baseball history knowledge always has room for improvement, so The League (8/10 // 9/10) is a phenomenal fix to many of my blind spots. Both are now inducted in my Baseball Movie Hall of Fame.

3. Triple Billing - Come From Away + Tina: The Tina Turner Musical + Funny Girl National Tours

Looking for a true story turned into an excellent musical? Try Come From Away, which captures the chaos of flights rerouted on 9/11 with the pathos you expect (and the comedy you don’t). Or try Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, which is one of the best—if not the best—jukebox musical I’ve seen because the songs are integrated into the story instead of just as a musical revue of a a well-known career. Or catch Funny Girl, which captures comedienne Fanny Brice’s life with the help of a powerhouse singer channeling Barbra Streisand’s powers. Better yet, I recommend not skipping any of them when they come to town if you can swing it.

4. Happiness Falls by Angie Kim (2023)

What do you do when your dad goes missing in the middle of a global pandemic and the only one who was with him when he disappeared is your non-verbal brother? That’s the central mystery of Angie Kim’s latest novel. Instead of an edge-of-your-seat-thriller, it’s a story that propels us forward with the questions that plague its characters.

5. Hollywood Victory: The Movies, Stars, and Stories of World War II by Christian Blauvelt (2021)

The Turner Classic Movies Library has yet to miss. Hollywood Victory doesn’t just provide an in-depth overview of Hollywood from 1933 to 1945. It’s an exploration of Hollywood’s inextricable relationship with American politics, its contributions that helped the Allies win the war, and a unusual but informative lens of movies and the war itself. It’s also a long set of additions to my watchlist—of the 260+ films referenced, I’ve only seen a quarter. Thank goodness for TCM and a DVR with unlimited space!

More Holiday Critic Picks: American Symphony, Chevalier, Fallen Leaves, Freud’s Last Session, and Master Gardener were all films in consideration for my Best of 2023 // Wes Anderson’s Roald Dahl short film adaptations Poison, The Rat Catcher, The Swan, and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) are bite-sized, beautifully manicured delights // Debbie Reynolds paves the way the way for Kathy Bates’s Titanic role with her charismatic starring piece in the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964) // Barbara Stanwyck is wonderful as always in the melodrama All I Desire (1953) // Hail the Conquering Hero (1944) is filled with some of Preston Sturges’s most fun mixups and hijinks

Holiday Treats

1. Ken The EP by Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson

I don’t care if these are barely Christmas songs—let’s give Ryan Gosling seasonal updates of “I’m Just Ken” for all of 2024!

2. Mixed Nuts (1994)

Hot take: Steve Martin has not been in enough rom-coms. A kookier—but nonetheless delightful—brand of Nora Ephron stars Martin and Rita Wilson as co-workers at a crisis hotline who are clearly meant for each other. If only they—and Madeline Kahn, Juliette Lewis, Adam Sandler, Liev Schreiber, and Garry Shandling— could get out of their own way. Crowd: 7.5/10 // Critic: 6.5/10  

3. Fitzwilly (1967)

Christmas Ocean’s Eleven! Dick Van Dyke is as charming as ever and the vibes are as ‘60s as ever as he tries to pull off a heist at Gimbels on Christmas Eve. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 8/10

4. Metropolitan (1990)

Before Chris Eigeman was Jason Stiles on Gilmore Girls, he was essentially playing the same character in Whit Stillman’s comedy riff on The Great Gatsby. A young, bougie group is attempting to survive debutante season (also the Christmas season), debating the pros and cons of wealth and falling in and out of romance. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 9/10

5. The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (1944)

Hollywood Victory informed me I’m not the only who can’t believe this was allowed to play for audiences in 1944! Betty Hutton marries a soldier on a whim, but the next morning she can’t remember which one. Her BFF with an unrequited crush (Eddie Bracken) is the only one who can help her figure out who her husband—and the father of her child—is before the scandal gets out and destroys her reputation. Because this is a Preston Sturges feature, it’s actually a hilarious quest. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 9/10

More Christmas Treats: Klaus (2019) is a hidden gem on Netflix // Okay, the ick factor in Susan Slept Here (1954) is real, but Dick Powell and Debbie Reynolds are just so darn charming! // 8-Bit Christmas (2021) is a better-than-it-needed-to-be update of A Christmas Story featuring a Nintendo instead of a BB gun // How did I never see Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) all the way through before this year? Once I realized I’d missed some scenes in my umpteen cable watches over the years, it shot up on my John Hughes rankings // Pocketful of Miracles (1961) is a delightful Cinderella tale that proves Bette Davis always had it 

Also this Holiday Season…

I reviewed even more new movies, including Next Goal Wins (ZekeFilm), The Marvels (KMOV), and the new Mean Girls musical (ZekeFilm)

The St. Louis Film Critics Association nominated and voted on our Best of 2023 films. You can see every winner and every film we nominated on Letterboxd, and you can read my summary of how I voted here on Crowd vs. Critic. Keep scrolling if you’re on the home page to my last post, or read it here.

Cedar Avenue, Harvey, North Dakota.

[graymanbriefing]

Domestic Violent Extremism Brief: Far-Left Attacks on the Right. BLUF: Recent political attacks underscore increased unrest and division among those with opposing views as evidenced by a shooting and hit-and-run assault against the "Right". On September 24th a pro-life activist associated with "Michigan Right to Life" was campaigning door-to-door (flyer distribution). The activist (84yro woman) received verbal abuse from a resident whose home she had approached to pass out a pamphlet, the activist then walked away from the house to exit the "heated conversation" and was shot in the back (rear shoulder). The activist escaped, driving to the local police department, and then transported to an area hospital and remains in stable condition. The shooter Richard Harvey claims it was an accident, he has been arrested for felonious assault and reckless discharge of a firearm causing injury. On September 18th, Shannon Brandt (41yro male) admitted on a 911 call that he had entered into a "political argument" with Cayler Ellingson (18yro male) and claimed on the call that he had chased Ellingson in his SUV because Ellingson was in a "republican extremist group". Brandt then struck and killed Ellingson with his SUV. According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Brandt was charged with Vehicular Homicide (later upgraded to murder with a dangerous weapon) and "there has been no evidence to corroborate Brandt’s statement" that Ellingson was in an extremist group. Brant was given a bond of $50,000 and released without restrictions. Debrief: (CLASSIFIED, join on Telegram at t.me/graymanbriefing)

Sheyenne River Academy Campus, North Dakota 2

Welcome to part 2 of our adventure through the old Sheyenne River Academy campus! Check out part 1 here. 

Would you like a full, immersive experience of our visit to SRA? Let the music take you back while you scroll along!

Click here for the secular playlist for 1970s SRA.

And click here for the special SDA playlist!

--

When we last left off, we were at the camp meeting cabins. Something I didn’t know existed on this campus. Let’s go!

So here are those bathrooms that the campers and cabin dwellers used. 

And on the side we spotted a sign from after the SRA days.

In keeping with SDA tradition, they did not allow alcohol on the grounds even though it was no longer an SDA school. Interesting. 

Here are the cabins! Rows and rows of them. I had no idea these were in existence. 

Apparently dad’s grandpa’s cabin was somewhere in here. 

If you had the means, you were able to rent your very own little cabin and use it for camp meeting. Dad said each cabin had the owner’s name on a sign by the door. 

There were so many rows of cabins!

We headed over to where dad’s family cabin was. 

So much junk was again piled up outside the cabins. 

Dad checks inside a cabin he believes belonged to his parents, below.

I peeked inside the same cabin. The old curtains were charming to me. Dad said he believes those curtains were hung by his mother - the pattern was familiar to him.

Despite the piles of junk crammed in every cabin (why!?) they seem to be holding up fairly well! I was impressed. 

They’re quite basic but apparently, according to one of my family members who did not grow up with much, if you had your own cabin you were really something! She had to camp, so the cabin dwellers were very privileged in her eyes.

Even overgrown, I found the cabins charming and pretty in their own simple way.

We went back behind a row of cabins. Dad said that during camp meeting they’d run around all over campus. So the kids played back here a lot. Now it’s just occupied by more junk.

We turned around and walked back toward the main part of campus. Note the No Trespassing sign - that’s why you get permission from the owner! 

I wandered back to the other side of the Ad Building. 

There are trees growing on the roof and most of the windows are knocked out. 

I followed this path to the side of the building to see inside. 

More junk out back. 

More knocked out windows. The state of this once beautiful building was tragic to me. 

Looking into a ground level classroom that was once the elementary school. 

There was no getting through these doors. There was too much junk in the way.

And...some horse friends. I felt so bad for them. 

I walked over to another ground floor classroom. Spot the horse face.

There are still cabinets on the walls but there’s like a foot of horse poop and junk on the floor.  This was once the science department.

Why hello there, horse friend. 

Poor horse. This is no way to live. The building is imploding and reeks of mold and decay. 

Below: two photos from the SRA 1976 yearbook, taken on the second floor of the Ad Building.

This photo was of a SW corner classroom, second floor. Dad remembers having an English/Lit class there. Also auto mechanic classes.

And this was taken in the student center. 

I had to step away from the old Ad Building. It was too sad to go on. 

Instead I focused on the boys’ dorm. 

Dad pointed this area out to me.

See the railing? It went down to a half-basement that housed the plumbing shop and connected to the boiler system. 

I spied this through the window. That’s dad’s class! 1976. 

And apparently the class of 1972 sucks. Ha. 

I walked to the front doors of the boys’ dorm. 

Dad ran inside first. 

The doors were hidden among old farm equipment and overgrowth but I could already tell it was going to be in better shape than the girls’ dorm. But only marginally. 

Already the entrance was full up with junk. 

Dad observes what used to be the entrance to the boys’ dorm. 

If you can look past the junk you can kind of see what it would have looked like. 

The smell of decay and mold was overwhelming. 

Dad turned right around and left, saying it reeked, and my husband didn’t even bother due to the mold smell meeting him at the door. But I pushed past the smell.

I wanted to see where at least one of my parents spent their years of school. And this was it. 

I’m guessing this was the front desk. Perhaps a student would have been watching the phones, perhaps not. At least that is how it was at DAA.

Here’s a photo from the 1975 SRA yearbook taken in this same spot. That’s my dad, second from the right, top row. And his friend Arlo, on his right. 

The decay was very, very bad. Worse in some parts than others. 

And of course the junk was overwhelming. 

I would imagine some of this furniture belonged to the school and was left behind. 

I noticed the stairs. My feet literally squished on the soggy carpet. 

Looking downstairs - it didn’t seem promising. 

A group of sinks had been pulled out and sat at the bottom of the stairs to the second level. 

I looked up toward the light. I wanted to see what was upstairs. So I went.

On the second level I reached this drinking fountain. 

Beside the drinking fountain was the way to the showers and toilets - as you can see by the painted sign on the wall. I wanted to go back there, but the carpet and floor in general was squishing under my feet so badly, I didn’t. 

Looking down a hallway.What was with the paint scheme in this place? All bright, primary colors.

Another room just full of desks. 

I wanted to take one with me so much. My mom probably sat in one of these! And my dad, and their siblings, and all their friends. But I never touch anything in any place I explore - I leave everything as I found it. 

At this point dad was back to check on me. I think he was afraid I’d fallen through the floor or something. 

I asked him about the big writing around the water fountain: “Drinking Fountain Mineral Springs”. Dad laughed and said “As if it needed a label!”  Dad isn’t a fan of stating the obvious. He said he recalled thinking it was rather goofy even when he lived here. Regarding the labels and primary colors throughout the dorm, the new dean (his junior or senior year) had tried to exercise his "artistic ability" to try and add some accent to the old place; he said you really couldn’t blame him for trying to liven things up a bit.

A clock, fallen off the wall and smashed. 

I looked through another doorway. It looked like a nice room, once. 

I made my way through to what dad said was the dean’s apartment. 

I can see how this would have been beautiful once. The big windows letting in all that light. And such nice, big rooms too! 

Dad shooed me out. But he couldn’t get me out the door quite yet. I ventured to the stairs to the third level. 

I saw the windows and marveled at how pretty they were. 

I wish my photos had turned out better. Light streamed into the crumbling stairwell. Also, again, paint scheme. Why? Bright yellow and blue and at the top - bright green. 

Once on the third level I only briefly stood on the landing looking back and forth down the hall. 

Looking down one direction - bright orange, green, and blue doorways. 

And in the other direction, a pretty view. 

You can see the Sheyenne River Valley. It’s so lovely. Why would you abandon this beautiful campus and location? I’m sure there are many practical reasons, but the dreamer in me refuses to see them. 

Quickly I turned to leave. Dad wanted us out of the crumbling dorm so we could go on with our day. But I paused one last time at the top of the landing, carpet still squishing under my feet. The view overlooking the campus was bucolic. I tried to picture, briefly, students from many eras hurrying back and forth. My mom and dad meeting out on the campus, perhaps to walk to a class together. My mom skipped a grade to graduate early with my dad. She must have studied so hard here at SRA. 

Back down the stairs I went to the second level. 

And then to the first. The clutter and decay was making me more and more sad.

Goodbye, boys’ dorm.

Out the door I went, away from the smell of mold and rot. 

Here’s a picture of that newest addition to the boys’s dorm where the entry was. 

And there is the window to my dad’s dorm room with an auger sticking out of it.

We walked back the way we came, chatting about all we had seen.

I stopped to photograph the pretty brick pillars, one with a light still sagging to one side. 

How I would have loved to see this place when it was open. And I can’t help but wonder, how would my life have been different had I attended SRA instead of DAA? Perhaps no different at all, but I’ll never know. 

We walked back to the former principal’s house, currently the parsonage for the  Harvey district SDA church pastor. 

Here are two photos from the 1975 SRA yearbook taken in the general vicinity we were walking through. The sports fields were in this area. Top photo shows a flag football huddle, the bottom is (L to R) the Bible teacher, maintenance director, and principal.

We stopped on the road for one last look.

Dad said this is the road where he got his snowmobile up to 80 mph - just shooting down the road. Of course all I could think about was - oh my word the school’s liability. I had to chuckle. How times have changed. 

Then I got a few photos of my dad beside the entrance to the school.

This is my dad. Mark Seibold. Class of 1976. Eventually married to Neta Lunday. Junior year coal hauler. Resident of the first floor boys’ dorm, and master of wiring his room so he could have a radio. Haver of his own snowmobile at school. Lifelong close friend to many, many people he met here at SRA who I grew up with as a part of my life, who remained by his side when my mom died. SRA was defining for my dad. His high school years were very good. He truly made friends for life.

Thank you dad for finally making my dream of seeing SRA come true! It was pure fun to walk through the campus and hear all of your stories. And I’ll cherish the memories of our tour for the rest of my life! 

I could wax poetic about how I if I was a millionaire I would pour the money into this campus and restore it. That isn’t reality. Reality is that this once beautiful place is a hazard and probably nearly beyond saving. It’s become a junk yard. A dumping ground for all sorts of scrap and trash, and an animal pen on top of all that. I’m usually never one to advocate for demolition, but seeing the state of SRA it seems it would have been less cruel to just tear it down than to let it sit and rot. Then again, I wouldn’t have gotten to take this great tour with my dad had they demolished it. 

And I’m so glad we went. I’m deeply thankful - to my dad and to the owner for letting us take the tour. We were safe and didn’t get to go inside many places due to hazards or junk. So if you want to visit, make sure you check with the owner first! And be very, very careful. 

I’m aware that this place isn’t going to be precious to everyone. My own dad was fairly unbothered by the state of it. The practical side of me understands buying up the property for cheap and just using it as you see fit. But the sentimental side? All I can see is the place where my parents met and aunts and uncles and grandparents attended and the state of it gets me down. And how would I feel if my alma mater looked like this? Well, that’s another story entirely. In the end, I’m just romanticizing a place I never really knew.

Now, let’s take a quick look at photos from when SRA was still open courtesy of my parents’ yearbooks! Years 1975 and 1976.

First, my mom. I had to share these beautiful photos of her, 1975. I wish I looked half as well put together when I was in high school!

And here is my dad and a bunch of his classmates in 1975! My dad is in the western style shirt. Comment from dad that made me laugh: “The look on my face - channeling Michael Jackson?”

My mom, her junior year! She is top row, second from left. And the fun thing about these yearbooks is that I recognize so many people. They are either family, former classmates’ parents, current friend’s parents, or family friends. That’s how long most of these people stayed in my parents’ lives!

Below: my dad (and other classmates) his junior year of academy. 

Below: my mom is front left. 1976.

It was an SRA tradition at that each class was expected to come up with some memorable way of announcing class officers. Might have been a short skit, or simply some dramatic entrance at an unexpected moment when all students were gathered, maybe chapel or rec time.  Janelle, the bride and new class secretary, joked the rest of that year that she and my dad were married, and called him her “husband”.

...Kind of wondering how my mom felt about that? Haha! 

I love this photo. My dad is in the cowboy hat - iconic. One of the people in this photo has been my dad’s friend since elementary school! They remain friends to this day. That’s Arlo, bottom row, left.

Here is dad again. 1976.

Spot my dad! His senior photo, 1976. 

And my mom’s photo, 1976. I walked by these photos on the walls of DAA, and eventually my parents’ photos hung across the same hallway from my own. 

If you have memories of your time at SRA to share, please leave a comment! Did I happen to photograph your room? A classroom you remember? What was your favorite food the cafe served? What was your job on campus? Do you have a fun camp meeting memory? 

*And remember - please be kind to me and others! No need for nasty comments.*

--

Thank you for taking the tour with us! It takes time to photograph these places and edit the photos, and I happily share for all to enjoy. If you’ve enjoyed or appreciated this trip back in time to SRA, please consider supporting me with a donation of a couple bucks! You can donate here, or if you’re interested in prints you can find them here! If you can’t find the print you’re looking for, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
