Although they are “sort of” retired, you won’t be at the camp long without spotting Dale or Linda. They continue to serve as not only the backbone, but the wisdom of the camp staff. Although they each bring a knowledge about how camp and camp meeting things are done, it is the encouraging words and the endless willingness to serve that are Dale & Linda’s most valuable gift they give to the camp and it’s staff.

Linda works in the camp office; while Dale handles the camp’s technical maintenance, such as sewer treatment, plumbing, electrical and appliances. Linda can most often be found in the office, but Dale could be anywhere on the grounds. Linda’s favorite places at Roxbury are the prayer garden and prayer chapels.

Dale and Linda say that working at Roxbury has taught them to be better servants. Serving God and serving others has been a lifelong practice for them as they have served in ministry in Michigan, Africa, Kansas, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Pennsylvania. They began their journey together in the Michigan church where Linda grew up and Dale’s father had come to serve as pastor. They have three married children and 6 grandchildren. The future will probably mean more time with their family as they can see an end to their formal work lives in the coming years. (But they’ve been saying this a long time!)
