A neighbor boy, Larry Schwilk, age 8, and I, age 11, both of us living in Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County, arrived on Aug. 15, 1955, at Camp Miller, a Lutheran boys camp at Shawnee on the Delaware River, for two weeks of camping. Larry’s brother Sandy, age 16, had already been there as a camp counselor for the summer. It started raining all day Aug. 17, and when we woke on Aug. 18, the Delaware River had risen 20 feet, to the top of the banks it banks. Our cabin was no more than 100 feet away. By the time we finished breakfast, the river overflowed its banks and reached our cabin. The counselors decided to evacuate the camp, and by the time we started to leave, we had to walk across a farmer’s cornfield 100 yards wide, in chest-high water, holding hands in a human chain.
