[Oe List ...] The McBurneys and fires

[RICHARD HOWIE]

Dear Georgianna, kindness of Priscilla and Rod,
When I served on the ICA board in the 90's George was also on the  
board, and was at one meeting here in the East whiile the fires were  
also burning in your neighborhood of Malibu.  I distinctly  
remembering being thoroughly address by his life among us, and of his  
decision to be present for the meeting in the midst of your family's  
tenuous position.
Your witness of happy memories being 'enough' continues to witness to  
Dick and me.  Thanks You.
Hope your 80th birthday launches you into many sacred moments, one  
day at a time.
Love, Grace and Peace, Ellen Howie
