[Oe List ...] Another Time article

[Richard Alton]

Yes, I now remember the Travel Fund. When i went from the Philadelphia House to help with the Chikale Consult, my mom paid my travel and our regional colleagues paid for the consult. Then when Linda and I were finally assigned to the Philippines Linda's cousin paid for our travel. Was the best Fund we ever had.. and it is still around...

Re the Travel Fund: When we arrived in 1964 we were sending two couples each year on a research trip to one of our global grid "Geo-Social Contininents.  I cannot remember who went where except for a very few:  Mathews & ? to Aftica,  ? & ? to Europe, Hahns and Pierces to NAME(North Aftica and Middle East) in '66, and Addingtons & ? to Latin America in '67.  I think that ended it.  As I recall we were urged to raise our airfair, and we raised a big piece of that from Doris' mother.  It seems to me that the other expenses were paid for some other way (? Funds).  Perhaps someone else can fill in any gaps.

It looks like my comment was misunderstood.  I should have added LOL after it.  I was teasing us.   


Elsa, I know of many who did use the education fund.  Sorry if I brought up hurt feelings.

So what happened to that "travel fund, which enables two couples to travel abroad for three months each year" by the time I arrived?

This is the Time article that caught our attention in 1967 when John was minister of education at Central UMC in Asheville, NC.

The next year we took a PLC and then helped set up a RS-I.  After that pitch by Marilyn Miller Oyler  and Phil Townley, we sold our house and car and journeyed to Chicago in March 1969.
