there is a reference to the Cree nations in Alberta and that "Lynn was teaching

was part of the teachers' guild I was in in 5th City around
1969-71. The last powerhouse paragraph speaks of the dread and fear
of taking on such a daunting assignment sounds like it could have been
Mathews speaking, but it also could well have been Jim speaking from the depths
of his previous experience of knowing the wild risk that would be

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Thank you Margaret. Helen Lyman
was in the Minneapolis House when I was there in the early 70’s. I recall
her as a strong, thoughtful young woman. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">And…your note brought up a
memory of doing circuits in North and South Dakota. I was on the Fargo to
Bismarck run. I knew there was a young pastor at Cannon Ball who was
interested in EI work. I set out to find him. I headed south out of
Bismarck/Mandan not knowing exactly where I was going, except it was
roughly 40 miles south. HDP locations had not yet been selected. I got
lost, stopped the car on the highway and along came a state police car. I
mentioned Cannon Ball and the Pastor’s name. The policeman knew him, gave me
directions and sent me on my way. Found the pastor, we had a cup of coffee and
talked a bit. I recall the desolation and desperate feel of the place. Later
after the HDP’s were selected I was at the Cannon Ball Consult. The pastor was
no longer there.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Dear
Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I am writing to inform you of
another loss to our community. It may clearly have participated in the
strength of the dream I shared.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Esther Lyman of Lemmon, South Dakota, passed on January
19 at the age of 95. She, along with her husband Tom who died some over
ten years ago were great guardians of our mission for many years. Among
other things, they lent our task four of their children and they only had
four. Almost all of us know one or more: Helen Lyman Williams (in
Toronto), George Lyman (Texas), Addie Lyman Holm (South Dakota) and Susan Lyman
Marley (who along with Darrell is in Massachusetts).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">As
far back as the seventies when we didn’t have the money we promised ourselves to
have to start new houses in Europe, the Lyman’s gave us what was needed to
secure an apartment in Rome. They were wise and only did it when we all
had jobs and enough money coming in to sustain ourselves, but no prospects for a
sufficient windfall that would pay our advance rent guarantee. Addie and
Susan came to visit us in that apartment. Tom and Esther came to visit
after we had already moved to Trastevere (remember that was one of the original
eight HDPs that we never did).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Probably any one of us in a house with one of the family
has memories we could share. I know that they were a lifeline to
Cannonball when a project finally got that close to the family ranch in
Lemmon. Esther always joked with me that she was glad that Esther was my
daughter’s name because the pattern of naming children was such that she had
feared the use of that name might die with her.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I
don’t know what else to say except that it feels necessary to honor those who
year after year guarded our mission. Nancy Trask was interviewed on
Public Radio last week (as the town librarian) about one of the notables of
Winterset who was/is one of the characters in the new movie Monuments Men.
The interviewer asked her what was special about Winterset in that it had so
many notables (also home of John Wayne). She said (loosely quoted)that
every community had heroes, lots of them. We just didn’t look for or pay
attention to their stories.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Thanks for that good word, Nancy.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
