My husband Jim and I live in Bristol, VT. We moved here from Maine about 15 years ago. Thanks for your response! Your dad was such a wonderful gent, kind, thoughtful and wise. I especially loved his ties, and have been after my husband to wear one, but no such luck. Best, Jennifer.
You may remember me from the early days of Beyond War. I was introduced to the work by Delia Mae Farris, and met Eola Ball and company for my orientation. Then after a couple of years I became a leader for BW in Maine, while attending the University of Maine. I also knew your dad, as we acted together for productions in the Lincoln County Community Theater back in the 80's. Are you living in Stowe now? I want to reconnect with Beyond War and share my own work with the Earth Healing Institute. The time of the lone wolf is over, and I really want to connect with other like minded people in the spirit of 'good works supporting good works'. I look forward to re-connecting! Be well, Jennifer.

Leonora Perron suggested that at a team meeting, portions of your book could be read aloud and discussed. Is it possible for you to send it to me? Hope you are enjoying the summer.
