[Oe List ...] Death of Robert Shropshire

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear Ones,

As I think back about Shrop, I remember some of his stories - do you
remember the story about the puppy their family had?  They fed him mashed
potatoes, imagine?  He was the dean of an HDTS that we had in
Kawangware/Kamweleni - his relationship to the village and urban
participants was deep and wonderful!  How many of you recall the spin he
gave at his father's funeral?

He is missed.

Nancy
