[Oe List ...] Holiday greetings

[Shelley Hahn]

I can certainly relate to Marilyn's reaction.  I confess I had a similar 
response.  I belong to the OE list because it's that: OE, not ICA.  Nothing 
against the ICA; it's just not part of my life right now.  The Order, however, 
will forever be part of me.  You are family.  You are the people who've known 
me and shaped me and with whom I've shared many unique experiences--some 
wonderful, some painful.  Of course I'm glad that our lists are open to all 
who are interested; I'm not a fan of exclusivity.  But perhaps messages 
pertaining very specifically to ICA business would be better suited to the ICA 
list?  Or simply off list altogether.  Just a thought.

While I'm "here" ... I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a 
joyous holiday season.  Thank you for being there to talk with.

Fondest regards,
Shelley Hahn
