Dear Colleagues, 

These delightful photographs from 2006 matter now in a different way. 
I suspect it was Mary Laura who put that together on the occassion 
of Carol's 70th birthday. Thank you Mary Laura...

best wishes,

Paul

Over the last week I have been reflecting on the lives  of Margynell 
Knutson, Ellery Ellizondo and Carol Pierce.   

They represent the hundreds of other women in the  order. .  

I first met Margynell at the ITI in Mumbai where she was on the faculty  of 
the program in 1972. 

Carol Pierce met me at the airport in Hong Kong on my way to Chicago for  
the first time in 1972. 

Ellery was always available for consultation and support while I brought  
up our son in Chicago.

Their lives and their decisions were important for my life.

The choices and the solidity of their decisions made it possible for me  to 
have the courage to move out from the ordinary.

The extra ordinary opened up for me.

Metaphorically, one could say, I have learned to walk on water.

Thank you one and all.
Mary

Thank you one and all.

I too was hoping to see and talk with Carol and regret that I did  not 
manage to get to Chicago in time.  Gracious, cool headed  and a master of 
indirection - that was Carol. It has been moving to  read all these emails about 
her. We will all miss her.

This is sad and a bit shocking to me. I saw her at  Accelerate 77 and she 
was her usual funny self. So glad to have  known her.

Colleagues and  Family;
Carol’s decades of  constant care for all of us both structural and 
individual is a  legacy that is embedded in our lives, even when memory may forget  
the details. What a blessing she continues to be as we live from  that gift 
she is to us.

Grace and  Peace

George and  Carol

Mary Laura asked that her note about Carol's death be  sent again to ensure 
the most inclusive outreach:  

Carol Pierce passed away a little before noon [Thursday,  September 20, 
2012] of cardio-pulmonary complications. Aimee  Hilliard and Mary Laura Jones 
were with Carol the entire morning.  Carol enjoyed the Accelerate 77 event on 
Saturday and loved keeping  in touch with many of you and keeping track of 
your lives and  activities.

There will be a Memorial Service at the ICA GreenRise Center  building on a 
weekend in September or October. I will post the  time and date as soon as 
the family decides the date.

Carol will be deeply missed. She was a wise and courageous  mentor to many 
of us. I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her  gracious attitude and her 
demonstration of living a great life in  the midst of physical adversity.

Mary Laura
