Director Entertains at Camp Fantastic
On Aug. 15, NIH director Dr. Francis Collins and his wife Diane Baker spent the evening at Camp Fantastic near Front Royal, Va. The camp, which has hosted some 2,000 children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses since 1983, is held every August for a week in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At the camp's annual talent show, Collins and Baker sang a slightly modified version of the Carter family classic Keep on the Sunny Side, interrupted by knock-knock jokes that drew an enthusiastic response from the kids.
