Wish I remembered how many children we had. Theresa, Carol and Elaine Butcher were there, and Libby Olson, who was 18 months old. I don't remember how many weeks I was there, but area colleagues came and helped for a week at a time. We hiked through the forest to a lake to swim every day and read Little Big Man at meals. Martie came one week, and was such good and cheerful help. She and the Dyers maintained their local church cadre long after the "turn to the world".

Bill Dew , who recruited whole congregations to RS-1 and later was District Superintendent, would be in his 80's. I don't know his state of health. Dick Pitcher was a UMC pastor here in Lindsay who met with a "cadre" type group that included  Fred and me for breakfast weekly and would thus be somewhat familiar. I still see him on facebook.

She was an ICA and EI supporter and was part of the Fresno Cadre under the San Francisco Region. She had all the books we read, the Red Book, the Other World Charts, and recruited and enabled many RSI in the San Joaquin Valley and in California. She traveled to Chicago for summer programs and supported and participated in the movement as best she could while raising four children, of whom one is Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook still in the ICA.
