All of the profiles below are based on interviews by campers in the summer of 2012. Thank you to all friends of the Birch Rock Historical Society.  
  
Don Munn was a local dairy farmer and owner of [[Springer's Store]] in the early '80s with his love [[Janice Walker]].  It was during that time that Don started doing maintenance around Birch Rock.  During the lean years in the late '80s through mid-'90s, it was Donald who did his best to save money where he could and keep the place in good enough shape to function safely.  Thanks to his local connections, money saving practices, and willingness to loan the camp his tools and sometimes even his land for storage, Don was certainly one of the main reasons Birch Rock was able to stay open.  Birch Rock will be forever grateful.
