[Dialogue] reflections

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Hi Devi,
So good to hear your voice again.  It sounds as though
you have had a wonderful life, and that you are indeed
being the Order wherever you are.  Doris and I want to
say that if you ever get near Bloomington, Indiana,
you are welcome to stop by you place.  Thanks again
for a profound sharing.
