[Oe List ...] gratitude

[RICHARD HOWIE]

Dear Shelley,
I appreciated your affirmation of the 'way life was/is' for you.
Our children Anne, Jim & Ruth are now in their 40's. are great people/ 
parents, and I feel that our experiences as a family in the Order,  
and now at present for Dick & me as colleagues of the Institutes,  
have been and are enormously enriched because of the wonderful  
friendships we have and the many,many forms of significant engagement  
we have experienced.
Hope to see you in Tokyo next year at our ICA:I Global Conference!
Love, Grace & Peace, Ellen Howie
