[Oe List ...] Sad News

[Herman Greene]

I lived in the North Shore house with Anne, David and family. Anne and David
decided to join the house and we found a mansion for rent in Riverwoods,
near Deerfield, IL. David's credit got us the house, I doubt that it was
fully disclosed that several families would move in. (We were forced to
leave by local officials when our septic tank overflowed and went into a
neighbor's field after an Odyssey.) 

Joy and I were Second Priors. We figured that the Wood family children would
just come along and go to the local schools. Susan wouldn't hear of it. She
said "You can't do that?" My response was, "Why not?" but her parents
listened and the children continued their schooling at their high school,
was it in Highland Park?  

The Wood family children just went through the year with their mouths open
at what these crazy Order people did. I remember that one month Joe Mathews
made an appeal for money and the house dedicated half of our food budget so
that month we fed ourselves for 12.5 cents per meal.

Young Dave once mocked us by saying it was time for his
"going-to-bededness."

Susan was beautiful and strong. I always admired her. It's difficult to
think that one so young has passed. I'm glad she passed my way.

Both Joy and I have an abiding love for all of the Woods. They deeply
affected our lives.

Susan Wood...oldest daughter of Anne and David...died this morning. She has
been fighting leukemia for months. She did get to see her first
granddaughter before her death.
I suggest notes (email) to Anne.  awoodewm at aol.com
