[Oe List ...] Kate St. Clair (from Lynda Cock)

The following is from Lynda Cock:

For OE list serve.  
 
One of the treats of moving is going through boxes that haven't been
opened in years.  I opened a box of items marked "Australia" and 
found among the memoribilia a yellowed magazine:  The Australian 
Woman's Weekly, April 1978.  I was about to pitch it out when I saw a 
note on the front directing me to a page.  When I turned to that 
page,there, smiling back at me, was Kate St. Clair.  We had only that 
week learned of her death and I was writing a note to the boys about 
my memories of her in Australia with the Global Womens Forum.  Now I 
had an entire magazine to send them with a wonderful article about 
their mom.   It was one of those special moments when I felt really 
connected to a colleague's presence in a new way.  I thought many of 
you would want to see this.

St.Clair that Lynda mentioned above. You will need Microsoft Word to

This week as we have learned of the deaths of Margaret Ennis and 
Letty Lynn Maloney, I am reminded of  the expenditure of these other 
women in our common journey and give deep thanks for their gifts to 
our lives. Reading memories from various ones who worked more 
directly with them calls my memories more to the forefront.  Thank 
you for this avenue of corporate celebration.   Several old songs 
come to me as care: One is "Those who die on the March, shall renew 
their strength.  They shall mount up on wings as eagles.  They shall 
run and not be weary.  They shall walk and not faint.  Help us, Lord, 
Help us, Lord, in Thy way." Journey on, dear colleagues.
