Our Greek God -- Sotiris Papantonopoulos

We had three people from Greece at the camp. All from Thessaloniki. Sotiris was the only Greek male. He liked to be called Steve. That was typical of people whose names in their native tongues were difficult to pronounce for others. He was very funny. He had a very big ego. Once he told me he was going to come the the USA to give a series of lectures on how to become a Greek sex god. He liked to flirt with all the girls. We corresponded for a while. He was married for a while to a Spanish woman, if I remember correctly and lived in England as well. The last I heard he was back in Greece, but it has been years since I wrote to him. I will try sending a post card to his parents' house and see if we can find him. Anyone want to share some Sotiris stories?


In this picture from Rovereto, he is sitting next to Isabella who met up with our group late into the camp.

Then he is standing in Pisa near the Baptistry.

In one he is standing with Trine from Norway. They are in front of the chappel at the big rock formation, see the link in the month of February 2006.






Then in this last picture he is with Audney from Denmark, standing outside the Stelle Stone museum on one of our last days at the camp.
