Ned Lewis
Description
Ned is a high school student who directs a play for VBS, and attends Camp What-A-Nut as a counselor. He is 16 years old. He's always having problems with some kid either challenging his authority or simply causing trouble in general. Another problem he has is that he stresses out too much. However, he always learns a lesson in the end.
History
Ned first appears in V.B.S. Blues having to deal with the likes of Eugene Mumford, Hank Shorter, and Junior Bascomb in his sixth grade class. Because of how rehearsals go he's afraid the three boys will also cause the play to go horribly as they are in the lead roles. In addition, Pastor Williams tells him that the fate of the drama program at Odyssey Community Church depends on how the play goes. While the play doesn't go according to plan, it does come off comical enough for the Pastor to give the drama program the go ahead. In addition, he acknowledges that Whit had been right the whole time.
In his second appearance in Camp What-A-Nut, Ned is the sixth grade boys' counselor. Once again, he has to deal with mischievous kids in the form of Chas Wentworth. He's also the arts and crafts teacher and has to deal with a supposedly secret crush from Gloria McCoy. Fortunately, he has both Whit and the camp cook Marco Dibiasi to lean on for guidance, and is able to once again come out sane.
