Add Camp Ritchie Faculty hub (Gross first-13 staff/faculty cards + roster)

New page

'''Camp Ritchie Faculty''' gathers early '''staff and faculty''' at [[Camp Ritchie]] from a Dan Gross working list (sometimes labeled the faculty “first 13”). These officers ran school sections, instruction, and camp administration — distinct from the student [[Secret Heroes/First Class|First Class]] photo roster.

This page is '''not''' a complete faculty directory. Names and roles come from private research notes published only where identity matches are clear; the original spreadsheet is not uploaded. See [[About the data#Camp Ritchie faculty notes (Dan Gross)|About the data]].

If you have a portrait or can correct a role, please [[Contribute|add it]].
