From Small Acorns Grow Mighty Oaks

Many years ago the author took part in a long-weekend camping trip on a small island on Lake Nipissing, Ontario, Canada. It was while camping there that he met a man called Dick with his wife, Ann, and their daughter, six-year-old Rebecca. They became firm friends and soon the author was treated as if he were a family member. Later, a sister for Rebecca was born and christened Rachel. The author was honored to be chosen by the family to be Rachel's godfather.

This story covers the importance of nature, environment, family, friendship, and the essence of a platonic love between people that still holds strong today.
