Shellenberger Plaque Found     

   
 

 

 
January 25th, 2005

The plaque honoring Jeanne and Don Shellenberger for their 18 year commitment to Chimney Corners Camp was one of the few items salvaged from the fire.

The morning the fire marshal released the fire site, Shannon Donovan-Monti and Emily King ventured down to the site to look for the plaque. The plaque was missing from the chimney which was the only thing still standing after the fire. Many feared that the plaque had melted in the heat of the fire.

Shannon and Emily dug through the snow and other debris and found the plaque and after carefully removing the debris found, to their surprise, that the plaque had survived the fire.

The plaque will be placed in the new Dining Hall and will carry the memories of the past forward.
