The Evolution of a Teacher, Coach & Mentor

Mowglis Director of Alumni Relations

As a Cub at Mowglis, he was known as Bart and many years later, when he returned to Mowglis on the staff he had grown into his full name Bartolo - more than a mouthful for those of us who had referred to him by his nickname but fortunately over his first few years at Mowglis his nickname devolved back down again. From Coach Governanti to Coach G and finally to just "G". Today, in addition to his work with Plymouth State College's Lacrosse program, he's Mowglis Director of Alumni Relations but that barely covers the hats he actually wears. 

This podcast is a bit dated because I came down with a case of covid that took me off the board for a few weeks. Mowglis has now opened for the summer so the summer is in full swing.

Bart has one of the most interesting histories at Mowglis because he has a foot in both Camp Mowglis and Camp Pasquaney. He also has a deep history with Camp Mayhew, a camp established back in the 1960s for young boys considered "at-risk". Mayhew was founded by his father Tony Governanti in conjunction with both Mowglis and Pasquaney. 

Such a deep history with the great camps of Newfound Lake - including Onaway - gives Bartolo a very special insight into the essence of both the camps and their important place within the broader community.
