Salute to the States Meal lost
| Origin | Winter Camp XII (1988) |
| The Story | At Winter Camp XII, we had a Salute to the States meal with 50 different dishes. The menu was put together by Lee Gardy and the whole thing took place before the Meals database was created. We somehow ended up with no records of what was served at the meal. Six years later, Mark Bollman tried to come up with the menu, but between the recollections of various members and the lack of dccuments, there were only six of the fifty dishes that we could identify with certainty. Lee Gardy came to Winter Camp XX in 1996, but even he turned out not to have any record of what was served. It was very frustrating for many Winter Campers and definitely an odd moment of lost history. At Winter Camp XXII, we dug up the first ten-year time capsule and found a set of placecards which hand been next to each item with the name of the state and some other details and, luckily, the name of the dishes. History was saved! |
| Veracity | Not in dispute. |
| Trigger | Lost history, big banquets (it is third in number of dishes) |
