  • MowglisMemories Podcast 28 Paul Brown

    Paul Brown's first climbing experience was climbing Lantern Hill in Connecticut with his English teacher Andy Popinchalk. Some years later, Paul and Andy and Jim Boicourt would launch the beginnings of the rock climbing program at Mowglis.

    Few Mowglis displayed more of a joy for life, both in camp and on the trail. That joy made him a favorite among the boys. His influence and the stories of his prowess and his hijinx have echoed down over the years. Oh the smiles, and frowns, that he brought to Mr. Hart's face in those years!
    Paul may have missed his calling in life by not pursuing a career as a standup comic as witnessed by this interview. I guarantee you'll have a ball listening.

  • MowglisMemories Podcast 27 Jim Storie

    Dinner with Jim and Nancy Storie

    There are a lot of crew stories swapped by Mowglis around the campfire and lately on Zoom but few are more widely remembered than the crew race of 1973 when a very small Red Racing crew was pitted against a crew of the biggest boys that most of us had seen in the Den and Panther on the Blue Racing crew. It was the biggest upset that anyone could remember. But as always, the moment that the oar went up the flag pole it was over and the Mowglis brothers gathered arm in arm to sing the Mowglis boating song.
    Jim Storie was the crew coach that year, his only year at Mowglis. Yet he is fondly remembered to this day and he has very fond memories himself of that summer. Jim came back to New Hampshire that same winter and was a part of the all Mowglis winter assault on Mt Washington. I've put some photos from that trip that Jim had on slides up on the shownotes page at MowglisMemories.blogspot.com .
    In late January I stopped in Richmond on my cross country trip with my pal Boof the Siberian Husky and visited with Jim and his wife Nancy. We recorded this podcast over dinner before Boof and I hit the road headed home.
