To the Editor:
I first met Jay Katzen in 1985. I was a 14-year-old Senior Patrol Leader for Marshall Boy Scout Troop 177 and preparing for my second trip to Philmont Scout Ranch. Mr. Katzen headed the adult supervisory committee — the committee charged witH overseeing budgeting and planning for our troop. As Senior Patrol Leader 1 spent many evenings at Mr. Katzen’s home planning our trip to Philmont. In those meetings, Mr. Katzen taught me to understand that squandering hard earned dollars for short term gains only leads to finan- . cial ruin.
In the years that followed, Mr. Katzen became an active adult leader, following all of us through our successes and pitfalls, offering congratulations and encouragement when needed. My Scouting days ended in 1987 upon my enlistment in the United State Marine Corps. However, Mr. Katzen remains involved in my life and those of my fellow Scouts. He still enjoys sharing in my personal accomplishments and problems with sincere interest and wise counsel.
Del. Katzen’s involvement with youth is neither new nor politically motivated.
