Mike and Jane have four children- three girls and a boy. Mike started coming to family camp at Mt. Hermon when he was six years old. Mike’s parents have been coming to camp for 46 years and now include the whole family (26) in attending summer camp. Mike was a pastor in Littleton for the past 14 years and moved to Mt. Hermon 7 months ago. Rotary and Mt. Hermon both started in 1905. From there, Mike made comparisons between the two organizations and shared his concerns about world issues. He discussed his ideas about lasting change.
