John M. Williams Chief Venne was on Staff at Camp Ponponio, San Mateo County Council of Boy Scouts, Cal., the summer of 1955. He passed me on my last two merit badges (Personal Fitness & Indian Lore) before I received my Eagle Award in Nov.1955 at age 13. I also won his award for the best woodcarved double arrowhead neckerchief slide in camp that session. I never forgot him. He was a great influence on my life. I never saw him again after the camp. I regret not having later contact with him. I would welcome any first hand knowledge about Chief Venne from his acquaintences and family.
