came the decision to name the camp. Don Cheney was still a manor domo or the operation, and under his direction the name Lanochee was brought up.... "La" for Lake, "No" for Norris.... and "Chee" to give it an Indian sounding ending.... like Lake Okeechobee.... or the Caloosahatchee River or Wekiwatchee Springs.... all either Seminole or Calusa Indian names, but always with a double "e" ending.... Cheney absolutely insisted that the name be La No Che... one "e", and even in the face of the fact that La Noche translates "the night" in Spanish... and that Lanochee was more Indian-ish.... one "e" was final, and it was to be seperated by capital letters.... but behind his back everyone understood that it was his way of putting the name of Cheney on the camp in perpetuity!

Camp WeWa was on very small piece of property only a short distance off "The Orange Blossom Trail" U.S. Highway, and had the distinction of having a public road only within a hundred yards of the Dining Hall, but between that dining hall and the waterfront of the swimming lake! Somehow the pollution got cleaned up, and the Council returned to Camp WeWa for the 1949 season, with me as the Camp Director.

At the end of the Scout Camp, by prior agreement, the Camp was rented to the Orlando YMCA and ran for another 3 or 4 weeks as a YMCA camp retaining most if not all of the BSA staff, kitchen cooks, menus etc, with Jordan Maynard as their camp director. This is all relevant because when the Council found and purchased the land for Camp La-No-Che , Camp WeWa was sold to the Orlando YMCA. After graduating from Stetson and a brief stint working for a meat packing wholesaler, Jordan Maynard entered Professinal Scouting in 1951 as the first resident District Executive for Orange County (also serving Osceola County). Prior to his addition to the staff, Burgess had served as the Executive for the three districts (3 counties) of Orange, Osceola, and Lake living in Mt. Dora.
