[Oe List ...] Development of RS-1

[Priscilla Wilson]

Well, I'm glad someone asked. I had been wondering who David Walters was. Now I know more about him than I know about most of the others on this listserve. Amazing isn't is?
Certainly have enjoyed the whole swirl of history.

>> I am David Walters and I was born in Mobile, AL  and went to high school with Frank Powell where Joe Thomas and  George West     had already graduated. I took a PLC in the spring of '70 because Basil Sharp said I would get a lot out of it. He told me to go by the Atlanta House and pick up a brochure. Jack Barringer answered the door and gave me one. I wasn't there hardly there 3 minutes. At the time I was living in  a small town in south Georgia. Somehow he got me phone number and called every other day or so for 3 weeks. So I went. Basil's wife Marie sat across the table from me.  A young guy named Jim Troxel and another tall lanky fellow named Rick Loudermilk just blew me away. My life was transformed tho earthly as before. 2 weeks later I went to an RS1 and moved into the Atlanta House on Sunday night after it was over.

>> Baringer decided I needed to come to Chicago were he had been for several weeks to something called a Summer Research Assembly. I took a flight out of Atlanta. He met me at O'Hare and took me on a wild ride thru downtown Chicago and out an expressway to a strange place on the westside at 1 o'clock in the morning. After I had been the a day or so I was put on a team that was working on covert a gym into what would be a week later the Great Hall of the Ecumenical Institute. One of the guys I worked with was Jim Wiegel.

I had lived across the hall from him few weeks earlier and he had a beautiful young daughter. Gene Marshall lectured in surgical gloves becuase he was allergic to chalk. Roger and Mimi Shinnn were there. Besides all the lectures and classes, I learned a lot around the edges from Harold Williams.
>>  
>> I worked the next summer of the Social Processes. It is interesting that by the luck of the draw, cosmic alignment of whatever, I spent both summers in Room A. During the period after the suumer progam  we had a Order Council and were also in Room A. We ran out of seats. I was sitting on the foor against the back wall next to David Scott. The guy up talking in the front of the room was droning on and on when David Scott groaned rather loudly. His wife was sitting on ther other side of him and elbowed him  in the ribs and told him "someday that guy may be the only collegue you have. Ssssh!"
>> After that I wound up working with my father for six years were I now live in Andalusia. Itook off for three yearsin the early part of  '78 and helped finish Town Meetings in Mississippi, Louisianna, Aand Arkansas. Then I spent 2 years working on the Gibson HDP
>>  
>> Speaking of Gibson, I understand that there is some film that was shot in Gibson but never edited in the Archives at Kemper. Who could assign Marshall to finish this and put out a CD?
>>  
>> To answer the question how I know so much about the early days. Well my granfather told early on that if I listened more and talked less I would learn more. During the 70s at summer programs, council meetings, etc. I tended to talk to folks around the edges and ask a lot of questions. I am also one of those hardheaded Presbyterians like Joe Slicker who always going to figure things out. Another fact is that I google a lot.
