color=#0000ff>Mid-year 1971, Carol flew from Chicago to KC and came to
the Religious House to talk straight to the Cocks and Tolmans, the new
priorship team--neither family had any globally assigned priorship experience.
In essence she said, "Get this house and region moving. We think you can do it,
but it won't be easy. Call us if you get in trouble. Good luck and G&P. Oh,
I think the four of you need to hang tight. Make everyone sure that if they've
talked to one of you, they've talked to all of you." We sort of saluted and
thanked her. We were nervous about our assignment, but eager. We were a
good team. It worked out. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

laugh and said something like, "We probably didn't have anyone else to send to
KC." </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Carol Pierce passed away a little before noon today of cardio-pulmonary
complications. Aimee Hilliard and Mary Laura Jones were with Carol the
entire morning. Carol enjoyed the Accelerate 77 event on Saturday and loved
keeping in touch with many of you and keeping track of your lives and
activities.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There will be a Memorial Service at the ICA GreenRise Center building on
a weekend in the September or October. I will post the time and date as
soon as the family decides the date.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Carol will be deeply missed. She was a wise and courageous mentor
to many of us. I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her gracious attitude and
her demonstration of living a great life in the midst of physical
adversity.</DIV>

<DIV>Yes, we in Chicago learned about it this afternoon. We hope more
details will follow. She did get to be at the Accelerate 77 event and
mingled with colleagues here at 4750 afterward. She will be missed.</DIV>
