Younglifers Visit Rocliies Younglife held a national meeting during the first week of June near Buena Vista. Colorado. Approxi mately 4-5 MacArthur members gathered at the Frontier Ranch for the week-long session. Kyle Sheets commented on the western atmosphere by saying. The setting of the cabins in the mountains made it feel like an old dude ranch. Recreation included horseback riding, swimming, rapelling. fishing, frisbee. chuting the rapids, and cave exploration. One of the most popular activities was a three hour mountain climb which ended with a slide down in the snow. Other than participating in camp sports, an-emphasis was put upon Younglife topics dealing with teen related subjects such as school, church, and friendship. Doug Burley. the camp director, conducted the meetings and devotionals after dinner each night. The session enabled members from all over the country to discuss Christian beliefs. Commenting on the trip, Ron King stated, Our group enjoyed so much that we were last to leave. The Empire Stril es Bacl One of the biggest film successes of 1980 was George Lucas ' The Empire Strikes Back. The sequel included the same trio of heroes that first appeared in Star Wars: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia (portrayed by Mark Hamill. Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, respectively). Also returning were Obiewan Kenobie, Darth vader, Cewbacca, and the robots R2 D2 and C3 PO. Billy Dee Williams, new to the story line, portrayed the character of Lando Calrisslan. The brightest new addition to the movie was Yoda, a gnomelike work of puppetry. This lifelike creation came from the wizardry of Muppet master Frank Oz. page 12 L Right: While in Colorado on a Younglife expedition.
