Primary and Secondary Groups I Have Been Involved With

I have a group of close friends that I grew up with, played sports with; we email almost daily and support the Green Bay Packers and we get together each year to attend a Packer game. We exchange Christmas presents; we go canoeing into Canada every year; it is my original peer group of childhood friends. Another primary group for me, is my neighbors; we share religious values, attend social events together, have dinners together and share political beliefs. Another primary group is my retreat group, several male close friends that go camping and have poetry readings in the forest around a campfire.

A secondary group I have been involved with is the U.S. Army National Guard (our platoon members were friendly but we not united other than military duty).

A Role I Played in a Primary Group -- And a Secondary Group

I have been the organizer of a retreat group, planning which campsite to use, paying ahead and the others replay me later; I do much of the cooking over the campfire. The others in the group count on me to make reservations and to use my car for transportation to the campsite. We are very close friends. My secondary group -- consisting colleagues on the newspaper staff are friends but we are only part of a group because we are in the same profession.
