I participated in the GSA & BSA Jamboree reenactment of the Bataan Death March in the summer of 1977. I remember having to audition to be part of the group. I asked my homeroom teacher, Mrs. Miller, to write a recommendation. I was surprised when she did (I was not an achiever =p) and I got to talk to the selection committee. and got to go. I’ve forgotten my GSA troop number and all but I recall wanting to quit on day one! We had to carry a full load (which was weighed, no cheating!) but we got frequent water breaks. I was scolded by one of the committee members for wanting to quit. Girls were quitting left and right. I grudgingly continued. It was fun. Wish I still had my GSA commemorative T-shirt. Good times… I didn’t realize the reenactment was an annual event.

I agree. Sticking with one text was a really cool exercise. Someday I’d like to try something longer. Thanks for reading.

Erasure poetry is fascinating, specially the idea of working through a whole text to produce a series of poems
