Walter B. Gladstone grew up in Andes and attended 4-H Camp Shankitunk as a kid. He's been helping the camp anyway he can, even now. He has been the camp committee chairperson for years, was the town of Andes supervisor, and his grandson can now be found at camp. To honor all the work and help he's given us, the science center built in 1999 was dedicated to Mr. Gladstone. Pat Ford, Walter's late wife, along with Mr. Gladstone, helped camp enormously and her efforts are honored through the Ford Building for staff dedicated to her.
