<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'>Dear Colleagues, <br>
<br>
Larry and I were married in <st1:City w:st="on">Nairobi</st1:City> <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region> and our two children Lloyd and Lela were
both born in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nairobi</st1:place></st1:City>.
Infact, Lloyd Philbrook could speak greetings in Kiswahili, Kikamba, Kikuyu and
probably Kiluyo and other languages taught to him by HDTI participants while
living in Kamweleni, Kenya...as well as English when he was only two or
three having been born in the Nairobi hospital and living in Kenya most of his
life. When I asked why he did not speak those languages to me, he said, you
speak English to me. I took him back to Kemper in the summer and he trusted the
black staff as a toddler in day care, or so it seemed to me. I don't remember
her name, may be it was Phybee, but we had a black staff working in the
preschool at Kemper and I always found Lloyd with her when I picked him up. She
said when he woke up from nap he would always come and sit on her lap so they
became good friends.<br>
<br>
<br>
My mom and sisters volunteered to care for him and I sent him with Ray Spencer
and Jill Egland to <st1:City w:st="on">Los Angeles</st1:City> (if memory serves
me correctly) and he went with them without hesitation too.He was preoccupied
with water and electricity in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>.
He wanted to know where it came from and where was the generator and where the
water went instead of to a kitchen garden. My dad laughed when he showed him
the town water tank and the huge pump from the ground and the the sewer drain
at the curb in front of the house. Once he ran around the house looking for
a jerrycan (20 liter plastic container) when it rained because we always
collected all the rain water and stored it in jerrycans in Kamweleni. My
parents were bemused and puzzled. He did not know what to do with a hamburger
at McDonalds. He took it apart and ate the meat, but not the bread. He
called french fries chips because we would once in a while go to Machakos town
for sausage and chips. But he did not eat cold cereal with milk. My mother
called me and asked what he ate. I answered everything. Then she told me what
he was doing. So I told her to make him soupy grits with milk and butter for
breakfast and make all his food like a stew. She called back later to say he
loved the grits and bread with peanut butter and the stew works just fine. I
told her he eats any kind of cooked egg, but I usually scrambled it. He will
drink milk at room temperature or warmed and mangos or bananas. He called ice
cream hot as a temperature because never had anything frozen before. He loved
the refrigerator with ice cubes and water coming out of the door.<br>
<br>
I think he knew more black people than white people while growing up, but we
had plenty of folks around the training center and <st1:City w:st="on">Nairobi</st1:City>,
Filipinos, Indians from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
British, Caucasian Americans, Afro Americans, and Japanese American. <br>
<br>
Lela grew up in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">Philippines</st1:country-region>
and <st1:country-region w:st="on">Malaysia</st1:country-region> as a toddler
and attended most of her education in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Taiwan</st1:place></st1:country-region>. But both Lloyd and Lela
knew the Kemper building as their second home with built in cousins with the
Philbrook/Otto family in residence most every summer. <br>
<br>
<br>
Remember the African contingent that came to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region> for that summer program in
Kemper! OMG, Benadetta, a girl from Machakos who ran a race in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:City> barefoot and won.
David Mbulu who lives in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region>
now, or Sam and Ester Were, or Issac Kariuki, or Joshua or Henry... the
hundreds of faces and names who appear like it was yesterday as the New Village
Movement. <br>
<br>
We really were the rainbow coalition before that term came into being for which
I am always grateful. <br>
<br>
What does it mean to be a global presence now? <br>
I still try to think global and act locally when I build models or constructs
in training. How would you work in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region>? <br>
<br>
Hope to see y'all in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nepal</st1:place></st1:country-region>
this year!<br>
