Judi Eubank

“In 1973, I brought someone to camp – my wife,” began Steve Eubank in a 2001 recording. “We had just gotten married. Judi had never spent any time in a tent. We lived in the Hole down in Camp Murrey where married Staff lived.” Apparently, she didn’t hate it. In 1974, Judi Eubank served as Parnell’s Kitchen Director!

As dining hall director, Judi was one of the few women on the camp staff who was not part of Stahlman’s cook staff. The only other women on staff at that time were at Murrey, running the family program. Judi ran Parnell’s kitchen as Steve served as the Program Director. They had a Saint Bernard, Annie, with them that summer, which helped with homesick Scouts and staff.

Judi has been just one of dozens of women to serve on the Boxwell staff over the years. Seen here a crop of Steve and Judi as they appeared in the 1974 Parnell Staff Photo.
