<div>Colleagues 'in the way',</div>

<div><br>
</div>
I have told this story a few times.
<div><br>
</div>

<div>Following my cataclysmic RS1 in October of ’67 [David <span lang="EN-US">McCleskey</span> - Dick & Linda Alton were POs (Participant Observers)], I attended an SDS (Students of a Democratic Society) conference in Chicago that December. I was a leader in the Canadian equivalent, SUPA (Student’s Union for Peace Action). After the conference, I visited 3444 Congress Parkway for a day. I was met by Tim Lush and taken on a tour. A significant part of that time occurred in the basement, where the trash got taken out. There, I met a very fashionable women by the name of Joyce Townley. She was obviously a suburbanite, covered with a smock, but with a colourful scarf and blouse. What a charming woman! And there she was, operating a hoist with oil barrels full of trash.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>At that time, immersed in the 60s, as a committed socialist, agent of change and one engaged in many aspects of 60s politics and social change, I knew that part of the puzzle depended on the engagement of sophisticated middle class folks if real change were to occur. It wasn’t simply going to be a revolution of the oppressed.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>And there she was! For me it was a sign. I returned May 29, 1968.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>Here’s to Joyce Townley the grandmother.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>With warmth and affection and…</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>Grace & Peace</div>
