Joe D

Joe is his own person, a complete original. He's intelligent and deep thinking, sees things in different way than you'd ever think of. He's trusting and accepting of people while still being who he is. Although we didn't talk for hours and hours, I could gather this from the times we did talk and from how he interacted with other people. He's real generous. I was in Eugene for two days after camp and he let me stay at his house the first night and offered for the second as well. He seems really comfortable with himself and I envy that. Thanks a lot Joe. Dai stiho, go well. Kim W.- oh, and he has really beautiful eyes. When he looks at you, he really looks at you (which I found quite unnerving at first, but then thought was pretty cool.) When you speak, you know that he's actually listening to you. Just three more things that are rad about Joe. ; )

Joe is one of those people I'm always going to remember from camp. He reached out and commnicated with me during my first year, when I was in my "Don't talk to me" phase. He's really thoughtful, and everything he says seems to be well balanced and carry heavily in the air. That's not to say he's completely serious tho', he has this very wry sense of humor that I totally admire. He also wrote the best thing in my directory this year. Thanks for being there Joe. -Zen

wow. what can i possibly say about joe that wont sound stupid and will sound sincere. because joe isnt somebody you just spit out cute junk about. he's deeply emotional, loving, intense beyond what "intense" can describe. joe. i love joe. with all my heart. if i had to be stuck on a desert island with somebody for the rest of my life, it quite possibly would be joe i'd pick, because he would keep me sane and interested for the rest of my life. i dont think i'd suddenly find out something about joe that would shock and offend me, because i've already done that, and i think i could appreciate him no matter what i found out about his past or current life. he is beautiful in the truest sense of the word. ~jennyrose

Joe knows the deep shit. Joe exhales it, and I breath it in when I'm near him. -reanna

I had Joe as a partner for the amazing eye contact exercise at first session this year. He had some really interesting answers, and I was really glad to talk to him. - Emma

Joe is one of the deepest running people I know. He's intelligent, passionate, clear, collected, articulate, funny, knowledgeable, spiritual, and loving. He's one of the most original people ever, I don't think there's anyone else quite like him (despite the twin brother!) (~summer)

Joe is seriously interesting. And he's not your regular joe... (hee hee) He wrote a note in my li'l book thingy at camp that I can read over and over, and still not be quite sure what he meant... he also did a great job impersonating Michae in the talent show. :) -marina

I keep trying to think of something immensely profound to say about Joe, but I just keep seeing a little bear on a tricycle going around in circles. It's really funny to me, but it's Joe time now, and that's serious. Being serious with Joe is one of my favorite hobbies. We like to take day trips to the Louvre and comment on the indirect correlation between the Mona Lisa and the downfall of modern civilization, we like to play chess in a serious manner, and we like to write serious notes to each other whilst watching an important (thus serious) game of cricket.

Ok... it's time to talk about why Joe is really so rad...

There's only a handful of people that are truely undefinable in the way that they amaze me and Joe is one of them. So impressive that he's severely intimidating, I've always passed up any opportunity to really talk with him that I've had. Which makes me positively doleful when I think about Joe. I know there's so much that I could take from him. He is all-encompassing in his wow quotient. There's nothing I'm able to say about Joe that could express that. ~Rhymi~
