• Matt shows his love for camp food during summer camp at Timber-lee, which is a church-associated retreat in southern Wisconsin (yah, hey der!). Following this delightful experience around 1985, we were smart enough to only go to winter camp, which was far more entertaining and had marginally better food (although I still hold the record for "most napkinfuls of grease oozed out of a single slice of Timber-lee pizza")
• Matt and I tried to stay entertained during an awful canoe trip to the Minnesota boundary waters. We lived off of dehydrated food for ten days; it rained every day (and I mean rained hard); and as if that weren't enough, two people were killed by lightning a couple hundred yards away from us during one of the storms
• Matt wanders into the nudie bar between our hotel and the convention center at the Denver '88 youth conference
• Matt tries to look cool during winter camp at Timber-lee
• Me, Dan and Matt - the Three Amigos, or Stooges, or something to that effect
• Dan and I seemed to be the only ones who knew where the camera was located on the Shock Wave, which is (or was) the world's tallest steel roller coaster at Six Flags Great America north of Chicago. That's our friend Mark holding on for dear life in front of us
• Matt and I try to look serious during a boat trip on the Chicago River with the other graduating high school seniors from our church (spring 1991)
