[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Just great!

[Janet Sanders]

Yes, we would love to be in a collegium with you all today.  We know life on the planet has shifted and are exploring both how to symbolize this shift and what are the next steps.  Would love to hear how others are marking the shift, honoring the moment in history and planning for the future.    Jan

Finishing Our Work 
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

And so it came to pass that on Nov. 4, 2008, shortly after 11 p.m. Eastern time, the American Civil War ended, as a black man - Barack Hussein Obama - won enough electoral votes to become president of the United States.

  I remember many years ago, sitting in the cubicle with JWM.  I cannot remember who was all around the table, I remember Betty Pesek was there, I think George Walters was there, maybe Hahn.  We were reflecting on  observations Joe made when we were on the West side, saying the cities would produce Black leaders, and that it would move to Washington.  I don't remember who said it, maybe it was Walters, that one day there would be a Black president, and JWM smiled and nodded.  As I sit and watch the TV, I remember Harrison and Joyce and Larry and Robert, and so many others.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to be in a collegium in the morning with all of them.  Can you imagine!
