<DIV>Dear Colleagues:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Judith and I are saddened to report the death of Ken Smith, a guardian of
the Movement for over 40 years. We met Ken and Barb Smith in our church in
Cleveland in the early 70's. Both of the Smiths have been strong
supporters of the work of the Institutes, first in the Cleveland Region and
later in the Detroit Region. Ken died on May 8th, following a ten year
struggle with Parkinson's disease. Barb and Ken had a great passion for
many social issues, and provided leadership in the Detroit Presbyterian
church.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Smiths have been strong supporters of our family, also. In 1979
they hosted a fundraising party to raise funds enabling us to pay the costs of
our first deployment to Adelaide, Australia, After Meg's accident, they
set up what came to be known as "The Meg Fund", enlisting friends and colleagues
to assist us in the care of Meg. Since 1987, the fund has provided
thousands of dollars to help us afford to keep Meg with us at home.</DIV>
