Hey, everybody, welcome to Love Letters. So a few months ago, I was at the theater, and a woman

walked up to me at the end, and she was like, Meredith, it's me from the podcast. And then I admitted

I did not recognize her. But then she said, no, it's me Tara from the 2018 episode about

love at summer camp.

The weird thing is, I think about Tara a lot, especially this time of year when there are kids in camp t-shirts all over the city.

Tara, in case you forgot, was the middle-aged woman who reconnected with a summer camp crush and found love with him all over again.

Of course, at the theater that night, I asked her, are the two of you

still together? Where are you now? Can I get an update? And she said, sure, I'll fill you in. So first

today, we're going to give you the classic love letters episode, so you have all the details.

Then, at the end, an update straight from the source. Enjoy.

From the Boston Globe, this is Love Letters.

I'm Meredith Goldstein.

Hey, everyone.

I hope you're all having a lovely summer.

We're back with a special bonus episode of Love Letters,

something to tide you over until season two. And we're here to talk about camp. I've always been

fascinated by camp love and what happens when the summer ends. Maybe that's because I've never

known camp love myself. See, I didn't go to sleepway camp.

I've never known that sense of freedom, that bonding.

And yeah, that love.

In my imagination, my camp boyfriend would have taken me to the kissing rock,

or some field of wildflowers make out.
