A memorial celebration of Jefferson Aikens will be held on Sunday, January 31, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm in Dalby Hall at the Argiro Student Center. It will be a special time when the members of Jefferson’s and Jane's families have a chance to meet our meditating family here in Fairfield.
We look forward to seeing everyone together for this truly joyous celebration of Jefferson, the friend to all. The afternoon will be hosted by Bevan Morris and will include some recitation by a group of Maharishi Vedic Pandits, so dear to Jefferson’s heart. We will also post a notice about the celebration in the Domes, closer to the event. Jai Guru Dev ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Thanks. It is interesting, the meditating community in Fairfield, Iowa is in fact large enough that we do not necessarily know each other. I still will run in to community meditators who have lived here in Fairfield for years and decades who I have never 'met' before. We are a type of tribe and certainly recognize each other for being in the tribe and yet there are different circles of meditators like family groupings that may overlap or only touch by proximity. We do well recognize each other though in ways for the time we have spent together in groups meditating, or at meetings or the other cultural activities of the larger meditating community. I did not know Don Patrick directly though I saw his ads in the Fairfield Weekly Reader and know a lot of people in the meditating community he helped. I thought of another name and added it below, Rob Buck. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Dr. Don Patrick. Excellent chiropractor here for many years.
