For Chapman’s mum, camping is a hotel without air conditioning.

For me in surburbia, it was a tent in the backyard.

Me and a couple of friends would have sleepouts, with an AM radio to rock us through the night.

The station of choice for pre-teens in 1971 was CKOC in nearby Hamilton, Ontario (that’s in Canada).

So it was with a tint of nostalgia when I read that norovirus had been confirmed as the cause of illness in at least 15 people at a CKOC Reunion Dance last weekend.

Dr. Chris Mackie, an associate medical officer of health, told the Hamilton Spectator although the outbreak hasn’t been linked specifically to food, anyone who took leftovers from the dance should throw them out, just in case.

Anyone who experienced the symptoms listed above after attending the CKOC dance should call public health at 905-546-2063.
