My father was Lee W. Jones, the structural P.E. I grew up watching the Dome being built and I possess some 8 millimeter home movies of its construction. My dad was project manager on the Dome for Walter P. Moore and Associates.

He told me a lot of stories about it. I hope they don't tear it down.

Thanks for these memories of Camp Ross Sterling!

As a boy, I used to go to campouts there with my brothers and dad, with the YMCA Indian Guides.

I remember there were dirt cliffs one had to climb down in order to get to the water. Once we found a five foot alligator gar lying on the beach. I remember walking out that long pier.

I have wondered for years where this camp was, and now I know!

Incidentally, previously unbeknownst to me, 40-plus years later, I find that my fiance grew up nearby and attended Ross Sterling Elementary.

Wow.
