A friend passed on this site to me with a question, &amp;#8221;hey didn&amp;#8217;t you go to school there?&amp;#8221;
Yes. Yes I did.
I am Chris Vosburg, Catalina Island School (For Boys, then, dammit) alumnus 1972 and the nephew of Keith Vosburg, who built the school (upon securing a 99 year lease from Wrigley, which will expire soon, hee hee).
Anything you want to know about the school, ask, and I may be able to answer.
In return, I would very much like to see more of the photos you took and know more of your experience at the whatever-it-is-now-called that CISB became after the school folded back in the seventies.
It&amp;#8217;s been forty years since I was there, but I am still&amp;#8211; as you must be&amp;#8211; in love with the rock.

Arden: You&amp;#8217;ve misunderstood me.  Every week at CIMI we have a dozen or so different schools attend our program&amp;#8230;  one of the schools visiting us during the fire was a Christian school (Trinity Lutheran).  I&amp;#8217;m fully aware of Toyon&amp;#8217;s past, from the schools to the spy training to the dude ranch.  Sorry for the misunderstanding!

FYI - There was never a Christian School at &amp;#8221;Toyon Bay.&amp;#8221; If you&amp;#8217;re referring to the Catalina Island School, which preceeded CIMI, I am an alumnus and trust me, we were anything but christians!

The hike up the mountain was devastating. It was hard to see the  ruins of the fire, considering how much the staff loves your home. I still have a couple of those spit-sucking leaves, the leaf that provides an inscence, and bison hair from the cacti. I took alot, sorry Tully. Oh, and my mom said I can go to summer camp [:

grateful for the prayers and the firefighters and the providence that largely spared you all&amp;#8230;and the boats that brought everyone to relative safety&amp;#8230;fill a journal with your thoughts&amp;#8211;most people have no clue as to what this must have felt like.
