[Oe List ...] Death of Vivan Paul

[Jack Gilles via OE]

I will miss Vivian very much. He was a soldier, through and through. He told stories of fighting the Chinese in the Himalayas. One of his disciplines was to take a cold bath every day at the Delhi House, no matter how cold it was. This came from that battle experience. He represented the best of our colleagues who came from the early days of the Movement in India. I presume he was a product of the work Raymond Spencer did in those early years. Journey on dear friend, journey on.

Actually she worked with me in one of the city forums, not sure which one. For all of the women I think it was the first time they had travelled outside their village or home without their husband or a male relative. It was unusual to do so at the time. I remember Vivian was somewhat naturally concerned for Marie but we had a great week together and no unpleasantness happened.
