How did I get my name? This is a much asked question in my life. First off. "the legend". Could I ask for a better name? I think not. Now there are many stories out there about my name and where it came from.
The first and most common is that I am the legend of the blob. Yes I have blobbed a watermelon, but that in it's self is not that legendary. Anyone can blob a watermelon. Even minnow!!! Actually I once blobbed a watermelon and then ate it on the gaurding board with minnow.
The second is that I came from deep in the woods where I lived for my entire life. I lived of the resources found in the forest and had fox for a friend. His name was kyle and we were unseperable. In a tragic turn of events kyle found a lady fox and left me all by myself. (ladies are trouble) Now kyle returned to me with a problem. One of his pups had been captured. Being a loyal friend I went to help. That is were I met the lovely people here at Iawah. Some how I had lived in between water skiing and highropes my whole life and did not know camp exsisted. That shows how much I moved around. I became a legend. "the legend" actually. I can't lie that last story is completely untrue and nobody actually thinks that's how I got my name.
And now the third and true story. In 2002 I was a first year staff member with the curse of having no camp name. Now I made a good friend named Kona. He, at the time was the head counsellor. Now Kona and Duffor where having a very important conversation about the new staff. When asked about a certain new staff member Kona answered with, "he's gonna be a legend around here." And that my friends is how I got my name.
Now you know. Have a nice day. Peace.

legend, that is a great story. kona and dufour are two great lads of iawah fame. but just so you know, it's 'dufour' not duffor. regardless, i still love you and accept you for your faults as i hope you would do the same for me.
blessings be on this blog

I would like to dispell all allegations of legend blobbing me, it never happened nor did I intentinally try to mislead anyone into believing such, and my camp name is spelt Phrodo for the record.
