I read his "Music of the Spheres" as a kid and re-read it a number of times. Really great stuff. I noticed the wikipedia article on Murchie is little more than a copy of his NY Times obit. You have much more info! Thanks again. Thanks for posting this. I read his “Music of the Spheres” as a kid and re-read it a number of times. Really great stuff.

There is a link on the group page to the brochure that Guy Murchie created for Apple Hill Camp. It would be great if you would share some of the photos you have of the camp on that website. My brother and sister attended the camp the last year that the Murchee's ran the camp. Then I attended the camp the next year with the new owners.

We gotta hold a lotta love and unity. We gotta hold it up until we die. I especially like these lines in the song. With all the wars breaking left and right in different parts of the world, love and unity is just what we need. We are soldiers in God’s army. We gotta stop and teach the Word for now.

Of course it goes without saying that the Iranian opposition to the regime has been using Bahaism for its own purposes as well. But, yes, if the Iranian regime had ignored the Bahais and left them alone in Iran, the Haifan Bahais would have no cause celebre whatsoever. However, the question arises: why was the ad hoc Iranian Bahai administration playing a dangerous game of brinkmanship with the regime until 2009 (esp. with RUHI classes and sending Western missionaries in 2005)?

As camp director he styled himself "Uncle Guy," and his wife was "Aunt Katie." (Her mother did the cooking, which had a distinctly German flavor.) I worked there for two summers. Only years later did I find out who he was. The camp was international, and the kids and counselors came from all over. I remember Korean kids, an Armenian girl, an African American painter and art teacher named Dawson Durrett (sp?) and many others. A number of college professors and a budding minister were among the counselors. He would sometimes play the Moonlight Sonata at lunchtime. Even at fifteen I could hear that he wasn't a real good pianist. But he tried everything. I remember a beautiful portrait of Katie done on a wooden panel.
