[Dialogue] For David McCleskey

[Carolyn Antenen]

A letter of gratitude for David's service to the Institutes is on its  
way from ICA.

Many people can speak better to the details of his assignments and  
service.
But for me David McCleskey was a respected leader, teacher, trainer  
and thinker from very early Order:Ecumenical, EI, and ICA.
And a wise friend.

He traveled the globe sharing participatory planning methods, leading  
Human Development Training Schools, conducting Human Development  
Project Consults,
and teaching a full curriculum of Ecumenical Institute courses.

"There is no way to thank someone for that kind of dedication".  But  
he is certainly one of Those Who Care.
