[Oe List ...] FW: Completed Life of Marileen Elizabeth Johnson

[aiseayew at netins.net]

I met Marileen for the first time in the summer of 1971 as a team 
member. We were assigned to go on one day wonder immediately after the 
opening banquet and our job was to clean all of the toilets on the West 
Side.  Only three of us showed up.  The priors were busy trying to put 
together procedures for the next day and others had not yet arrived. I 
was the only one who knew my way around and I lost both of my 
compatriots several times during the night. We finished in time for me 
to go take a shower before I went to work the next morning and I cannot 
recall how many times I fell asleep at my desk that day.

We remained deeply connected from that time on. We also laughed heartily 
about our first encounter ever after. It was always a joy to spend time 
with them doing Town Meeting, on a development week or in another 
encounter at the 4750 building. In the summer of 84 they even hosted our 
girls for a week in Iowa. It is hard to find appropriate words for a 
colleague who changed your life every time you met. It is even harder to 
express your appreciation for all that she did and that they 
represented.

Celebrating love and loss, Margaret Appelgate Aiseayew
