[Oe List ...] various charts

[frank bremner]

G'day Lee:

I was the tall (not as tall as you) Aussie who had his small 2^5 (or 32) 
birthday party on the 5th (?) floor of 4750 North Sheridan back in August 
1979 - with Foster's beer, which I remember you enjoyed (based on Majuro 
experience).  In Qu 2 1978 I worked in Development (a couple of trips to 
Casper, Wyoming, with Roxanne Boone), then spent Christmas in Denver and 
Memphis and various places in between.

Then I was the archivist (remember all those labelled boxes of Academy 
papers?  I really got my personal collection into shape!) and despatcher (TM 
workbooks again and again) in the print shop within Management Centrum.  
Then in about Sept 1979 I was in the Philadelphia House, where we tied to 
get a state-wide TM campaign going but got the Tioga HDTS instead.  I 
returned to Australia in about May 1979.

During that time I was also studying for a Graduate Diploma in Eucational 
Adminsitration by correspondence from Adelaide, South Australia.  A couple 
of my lecturers loved my use of charting, models of a "school as a 
community", using community development/organisation models for schools, 
applications of the O:E Polity Document, Bob Shropshire's talk and triangles 
on vocation, and so on.

I did a lot of work in secondary school student leader training in the 
1980s, producing a Student Leadership Course at my school.  Mk II of that 
course became the South Australian template for other schools.  I'm working 
on designing a Mk III for the 2000s.

I've written a paper "From Prefects to SRCs: a Thirty-Year Personal Journey" 
which Tim Wegner has placed in the repository, I think.  The document grew 
from a 6-page quick summary to a 46-page curriculum document for students 
and teachers working on student governance and participation issues.  It's 
the core of a research M Ed I'm planning on the topic.

The Wedge Workshop I did at state level was based on ICA methods, and John 
Cock's wedge diagram.

Back in Australia I had been in many Community Meetings, visited Ombulgurri 
twice, been print shop head h9oncho at the Murrin Bridge Consult, and so on 
- my involvement goes back to a 1968 RS-I.

I'm developing a whole new updated package of events for use within schools, 
and the charts used in LENS, and especially their rationale, are part of the 
picture.

Enough info?

Cheers

Frank Bremner

Dear Frank:

I was the incorporator for LENS International, Inc. in Detroit in 1982 and 
formed my own company called LE Associates, Inc. in 1987 until today.  Yes, 
I know all the rationales for all the charts.

But, please tell me who you are and why you want them.

Thanks,

Lee Early

Dear friends

In my event for students and teachers, The Wedge Workshop, I sometimes refer
to the various shapes and formats of the charts we can draw for Vision, 
Contradictions, Proposals etc.  Does anyone have at their real or 
metaphorical fingertips the rationale for the various charts?

I'm sure Wayne Ellsworth has something on this, but I'd like some broad  
input.  Any other charts people have used, or are using?

Cheers

Frank Bremner
