Producer's Notes:
The Karen Noonan Center is a former hunting lodge converted into an overnight educational center for kids of all ages. Not only is it dramatically environmentally-correct (we didn't shoot the "composting toilet"), but it is isolated by a wildlife preserve! The waterside location isn't bad, either. The closest town was an hour's drive away, and some of the roads were less than civilized. On the first day of shooting, Producer Beth Nardone managed to land one of the cars into a ditch en route to the center, giving the crew much reason to chuckle. Beth's fortunes didn't improve when guest chef Whitey jokingly referred to her as "Wipe-Up Girl," a moniker that dogged Beth the rest of the production.
