Viv -- thanks to you we know! And thanks to Rob we know a lot of great things,
beings and people. Always nice to remember good things particularly when you
are at the edge of yawning open space which is the current drama.

Marysville was a magical OSonOS. I remember that night hike with Rob. He was an
important part of making the whole experience special.
Thank you, Viv, for letting us know of his passing.
Warmly,Peggy

Indeed. Wondrous memories of Rob, who he was and of of the walks in the woods
he led. Particularly around the lovely Marylands Hotel in which we were all
housed during WOSONOS in OZ in 2002.
In which we conversed heartily during the day and sang lustily at night.
And made lasting friendships with fellow 'Spaceniks' near and far.
I join with others here who also pay tribute to Rob and Fr Brian who set our
sights for Open Space Downunder.
Looking forward

Hello Viv and Anne
Thanks for letting us know about Rob making his way onwards. I have many lovely
memories of meeting him at Marysville and how much he contributed to making
that such a wonderful experience for so many people. I also had the blessing of
running into him on other occasions while visiting Melbourne and of course
online. I love his cheeky grin and provocative probings….
A passionate promoter of Open Space and of all things that sustain and grow the
circles of connection on this planet.
I’m pleased that I met him and wish him and Fr Brian much fun in their
break-out together with our many other Open Space friends who have moved on.
Best wishes
Brendan

Hi Viv
Thank you for posting about Rob and mentioning Brian. I have fond memories of
the one and only OSonOS I have ever attended, at Marysville. Brian Bainbridge
gave me a ride to Marysville ,a journey I will always remember for the
beautiful sights outside the car and the warm conversation inside the car.
Rob, I clearly remember too. Being from New Zealand we are very passionate
about our wonderful bush, and to be shown the Australian bush by someone with
as much passion filled my heart.
Thank you for reigniting such dear memories Viv it has been a long time since I
saw you last in Torquay. when I was staying with Heather. I hope you are
keeping well.
Kind regards
Anne

Subject: [OSList] Sad news Hi all
Some of you may remember Rob Chaffe from the Australian OSonOS at Marysville,
in the hills out of Melbourne. He took us walking through the bush to
experience the native nocturnal wildlife.
Sadly, Rob died this morning, after a long battle with cancer. It was Rob who
introduced me to Brian Bainbridge - and look where that led! I like to think of
them together somewhere chewing the fat about all things open space and the
state of the world.
Rob was a very generous person, passionate, and always had an opinion to share.
He was a great friend and mentor to me. He’ll be missed.
Cheers
Viv
