Jean Cameron, a member of DLYC for over 40 years,  passed away November 21, 2008 after a short illness. Jean is one of the 2nd generation of Camerons on Delavan Lake, and one of those people who you would want to have as a companion on a desert island as she was a pleasing conversationalist to all.

Jean was married to Anson (Scotty) Cameron, and they raised 4 children, David, Dee Dee, Andrew, & Michael who all sailed in X boats as youngsters. Though Jean was not an active sailor, Scotty was a fixture on Elmer Steven’s A boats and E boats throught the 1960’s and was Commodore of DLYC in 1967-68. Scotty’s mother, Alta Stevens Cameron, was a founding member of the Delavan Lake Yacht Club along with her brother, Elmer Stevens in the reconstituted club after World War II.

Jean was a member of Delavan Lake Yacht Club, off and on from the 1940’s through this year with a couple of years. She was an active member of the “Golden Girls”, those loyal women who support the club in their later years as ambassadors, hosteses, cooks and bottle washers. She loved tennis, and was active in the 4th of July tournaments at the Stevens / Camerons and in later years at Bob & Marion Mitchell’s holiday tournament.

Jean was a part time secretary for the United Church of Christ for 30 years, only recently retiring. Jean was active in the Delavan Lake Garden Club, the Monday Club, and a Book Club in Delavan.

Leaves are now beginning to fall, piers are coming out and it’s a great time to take someone to DLYC club for dinner. This is the last Saturday night dinner at the club for 2008.
