Meanwhile we can pig out on rocky road. That's why I refuse to buy it. 
But I don't object if others want to serve it as I'm enjoying the great privilege of being their guest.My most recent experience in that vein was visiting Bob and Judy Fishel a few weeks ago. I arrived in time for breakfast, and Bob made the most delicious eggs with okra, cheese, and salsa. After an intense conference lasting all morning, we went to Bob's birthday lunch--with cake and whipped cream for dessert. He's now officially 80.

 Marshall,
I love your story and pun! Those of us who went to the villages during the 70`s have so many great, and funny stories. I am not sure those outside “us” would enjoy them, but I think we can fill the time sharing them as we wait for everyone to get to heaven so we can march in together, singing of course!

My memory from Kwangyung Il-Ri is that the road into town was so rocky (but love the ice cream!) that the bus had to creep along, filled with animals, people, and baskets of cabbages, for almost an hour to get there.Ken Gilbert and colleagues were still building the community bath house, so I rode into town just to take a bath. And, I confess, to enjoy a steak sandwich at restaurant in the hotel basement. (We privileged westerners thought we deserved a little break now and then from working with rocks.)
I think it's now more like a suburb with well-paved roads. Maybe even an upscale suburb. So I tried Google ... but wasn't sure about what I found. But it's quite possible that Kwangyung Il-Ri now has a 7-11.

Rev. Kim Chong Man and his family, and our family started the village project on Jeju Island. The consultation was island wide but we then chose only one village to work in, Kwang Yung Il Ri. It was like a fifteenth century village with rock and thatch roofed houses and often dirt floors. It was not easy living there, but we learned so much. Grateful for such experiences including hosting the World's Fair of the 24 Human Development Projects in Kwang Yung Il Ri. ................................................................................................Recent book: A Compassionate Civilization: The Urgency of Sustainable Development and Mindful Activism - Reflections and Recommendations https://www.amazon.com/dp/1546972617Blog: https://compassionatecivilization.blogspot.com/NYU: https://wagner.nyu.edu/community/faculty/robertson-workLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertsonwork/

I wasn’t in Chicago that next summer so I have no idea what Joe may have said, but there were some other kerfuffels along the way.  Joe was coming from Kawangware to Rome to celebrate the initiation of the Trastevere project.  He arrived.  He declared that we were not doing another urban project and told us to start making another plan.  That was on Saturday and we had an open house planned for Sunday with more than 20 religious orders coming.  He changed his tickets and left Sunday morning, even before his luggage lost in Khartoum had caught up with him.

It was a steep learning curve.

I remember Joe speaking to us, I think at the next Summer program but I’m not sure, that we made a mistake in our HDP selection process. He said first we tried to do a whole nation with the selection of Majuro in the Marshall Islands and then we tried to do a whole island with Jeju Do. We finally got the size right after that, but it is part of our history in discovery of what is the right size for an HDP.

Jeju Island is transformed, I was there last year but the project itself was closed years ago.  Jeju is a resort island and the only part of Korea that has visa free entry from China.
 

Our colleagues in Korea are pursing Facilitation and connect with Rev Park and ICA Korea regularly.
 

I will be there again early November
 

With respect, Larry
