My favorite thing about Elan, were the people, still have 4 friends from 32 years ago, playing fast-pitch softball and football and driving, I delivered the supplies to the houses.
I will admit finally leaving Elan after 3 1/2 years as resident and staff and heading down to Louisiana (work on the oil rigs, offshore) was exhilarating, absolutely fascinating to finally be free of my parents and Elan. Though I blew it out my ass but hey, fun aways.
