[Oe List ...] Obituary for Doris Hahn

[Paul Schrijnen]

Dear Marsha and Shelley,

“A rock, a mentor, a source of wisdom for many.”  

A beautifully written piece about Doris. You have captured her well. 
It takes me to so many moments with her. Here are a few.

One was in early 1975. She was leading an RS-1, and I was the fourth teacher, 
which meant leading the art-form conversation about Guernica. I still remember 
the gentle encouragement she gave me during the Sunday afternoon review 
conversation after the course. It was so encouraging to me. “You got people engaged”.

During the town meeting campaign a few years later, I remember her words as a colleague and 
I left the house through the kitchen door. I am not sure she was impressed with the plan we were 
about to implement. “Make sure you do this well”, a comment intended to both encourage and correct. 

When Christine and I announced our engagement, Doris and Charles were the first to congratulate us. 

I remember the delight and pride of Charles and Doris when their daughters came to visit the Brussels House. 

Thank you Doris!

Paul
