[Oe List ...] George West

[Susan Fertig]

Jack, I know that you have lost one of the giants in your Mexico community and you are missing his presence. My sympathies.

I remember George from the first ITI we did in Venezuela. He was  the dean. I think the Bunkers chafed under his tutelage, but they had expected to lead it themselves and were disappointed. George was magnificent! And though we were on the verge of leaving Caracas to return to the U.S. and couldn't be part of all of it, I felt the impact of the event and was so sad not to be there for the end. 

Years later, I saw George again at ICA's development conference in Tokyo organized by Shizuyo and Wayne. He didn't remember me of course, but I remembered him, Spirit-giant that he was.

Dear All,

Tonight, on this last day of May, George Randall West died. It was about 9:30. He was 88 years young. 

I celebrate his Being Here With Being Itself in History. He is in the Blue now. Waiting for us all.

Grace and Peace,

Jack
