Summary: Hopes to provide a glimpse of the past and capture the sense of time having stood still while giving a somse of the future at a time of profound change. It is John Hay Pore Point Development Corporation's attempt to document the history of Camp John Hay. The Camp's story is told using historical facts, anecdotes, old and new photographs as well as an Artist's impression of the camp. The result is not so much a chronological recounting of what happened in the camp but rather an exploration of its reason for being. In effect, book centers on the role Camp John Hay played in the US Military, which established it and Baguio, the community it shares its roots with. On the cover, artist Willy Magtibay immortalizes Main Club, a Camp John Hay landmark that will henceforth live only in pictures, paintings and memories, with an eye that first saw Main Club as a boy, His renditions evoke the vague/ hazy sense of serenity that often permeates the impressions people have of Camp John Hay.
