Rolling Hills Camp – Icon & Founder Passes
Founder of the Rolling Hills Camp, Frank “Rowdy” Martin, went home to meet Jesus on Christmas 2009.

Keith, but hosted by the Martin family. More recent years have meant more active involvement by younger members of the Martin clan, Jack and Caroline Martin prepare meals, set up tents and welcome guests and attendees with a smile, a hug and a warm handshake. No matter how little his involvement, everyone knew when Rowdy Martin showed up, he was the ultimate hand in the stew pot. His touch was everywhere on the camp.

This is a time when the majority of people in our nation are celebrating a season they hold both dear and holy, Christmas. Was there a pro-Christian article or letter written that someone had to respond to, or was it just another effort by those of the progressive liberal left to exert their minority views on the rest of us?
