[Oe List ...] EI - Boston

[Marilyn R Crocker]

Hi Beret,

Yes, Joe and I remember Rick well.  He was involved in the movement in
1967 when Joe and I and five other families lived corporately in Andover,
MA as the staff of EI:Boston.  This experiment predated the deployment of
the Boston House (initially established in Framingham, MA) in 1968.  Rick
was either in seminary or was a newly minted pastor at the time, and he
(and occasionally his wife, Rae) participated in pedagogy guilds and
cadre sessions.  If my memory serves me, Rick served as District
Superintendent in the midwest at one point.  Small world, eh?
