[Oe List ...] OE Digest, Vol 159, Issue 9

[Lawrence Philbrook]

David

No time to read today since its father’s day but I opened my eyes with my Amazon email about the book and read your intro before i had time to think.  I hear your voice in every word.  Thank you for sharing I already remembered and learned things just from that small bit.

I am looking forward to the rest.

Love and respect, 
Larry

In 2021, I visited Chicago with my wife, daughter, son, and their partners, and we all went to visit Fifth City and the Iron Man—they for the first time. Attached are some photos, of me in front of the Iron Man with the Program Center in the background where I took part of the Academy, the still-running “Iron Man Can” Fifth City Preschool, and my old elementary school, now renamed Leif Ericson Scholastic Academy.

I visited my 93-year old dad Gene and 91-year-old step-mom Joyce in Texas recently, and they gave me this seven-inch-tall metal Iron Man statute that they had picked up along the way from the Wichita Religious House. Did all the Religious Houses have one?
