[Dialogue] wedgeblade in Apple ad

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Thanks to all who have made comments.  I am just now
catching up in this dialog, and here goes.
Like George and Pat my memory these days has a few
clouds over it from time to time.  But, here is what I
remember.
I, too studied with Ed Hobbs and with Joe at Perkins. 
I have no memory of the wedgeblade being used by
Hobbs.
Doris and I also took numerous courses at the Faith
and Life Community.  I remember no wedgeblade.  When
we moved to join the EI on the West Side the last of
August of 1964,  It seems to me that the wedgeblade
was in use in the Church lecture.  I think it was in
'65 that John Bagget, at that time a course grad,a
member of the Clergy Cadre in Chicago and a pastor of
a Methodist Church on the South Side, created a large
wedgeblade out of 4x4 timbers for the Order to use. It
was painted black and shading into bright red toward
the tip of the point. So, he had had a course in which
it was used.  We all thought it was the greatest gift
we had ever received. We placed it either in Room A
over the blackboard or in the chapel. I cannot
remember what was its first place of use, but it was
used in both locations from time to time.  With those
memories, I think I know the wedgeblade was in use by
the fall of '64.
