Aug. 5.
"We want to remember not only
what camp meant to Lindsey, but
the many lives that she touched
while she was here," says Finkelberg.
To demonstrate her love for
camp, Berg created "Circle of
Friends," a concrete sculpture of a
counselor holding hands with a
camper. The counselor has curly hair
like Shapiro's.
"I was so honored and thrilled,"
says Shapiro's mother, Terri
Rossman. "Lindsey loved camp. It
was just so touching that they would
do that."

the sculpture was above the door of
the old amphitheater, Shapiro's
favorite spot at camp. An avid lover
of the theatre, her parents would
come there to watch her many plays
and performances.
To begin the memorial ceremony,
which was held inside the amphithe-
ater, an Israeli dance was performed
about a child who went to heaven
early and comes back to help other
children save the world. Four of
Lindsey's best camp friends then paid
tribute to her and read a letter from a
member of their group who was
unable to attend. Finkelberg, Berg
and Rossman also spoke.
"The event itself was a wonderful,
positive thing," says Rossman. "For
me, it's wonderful that there's this
place that meant so much to me as a
child and so much to her that I can go
to. It's like a monument to her — her
spirit is there. This is a positive,
happy, beautiful place where she'll be
remembered."
