Dear Suzanne and All What a delightful surprise to see the video of the WOS2002 in Marysville.
For it does indeed capture the spirit of this gathering, joyous in diverse ways. Among these were the lively spirits present from all around our little planet, the outstanding organisation of convenor Fr Brian Bainbridge and his team in Melbourne, the camaraderie promoted by the enchanting place in which we were all housed, the walks in the nearby woods to view the nocturnal arboreal animals, an evening of singing which I convened and David Smith backed up with his guitar. Plus Harrison's introduction of 'The Practice of Peace.' And firm friendships set in train. As you may know most of the country town of Marysville and the whole of the Marylands Hotel were destroyed in the kind of bush fire now sweeping through the Blue Mountains and other parts of New South Wales. The memories of happy times and friendships renewed and forged among the OS community live on. Looking forward Go well Alan Adelaide On 21 October 2013 21:49, Suzanne Daigle <sdaig...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Linda, > > I just ordered two boxes of books.
