As I recall it must have been in the 1980s when your family performed in the Kemper Building for one of our Order events. Our sons, Ben and Jon Crocker would have been a year younger than you, Sarah, as they were born in 1970. Their sixth grade trip was up north, portaging canoes across the Canadian border. But maybe you all were at one of the summer camps together as EG (Emerging Generation). If you would like to connect with them by e-mail, I’m guessing it would be a delight for them. They are both MDs, working in Boston Hospitals, living in Arlington, MA. If so, let me know at <<a href="mailto:maricrocker@gmail.com" class="">maricrocker@gmail.com</a>> and I will send your their email addresses.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Keep singing and making music!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Marilyn Crocker</div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jul 12, 2020, at 10:24 PM, Timothy Wegner via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" class="">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Sarah O'Boyle reached out to me for help contacting anyone who might have known her family in the Order.

<div class="">Greetings, </div><div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">My name is Sarah O’Boyle. My parents, Robert (now deceased) and
Marilyn O’Boyle, joined the Order in 1970, bringing me and my three
older sisters, Maureen, Audrey and Becky, to Chicago when I was
one-year-old. After two years, we moved to the Lincoln, Nebraska
Religious House, where we lived from 1972-74. We moved to our own house
in Lincoln shortly after my brother, Dennis, was born. “We decided that
our decisions were best made in our family,” as the line from our family
song says. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We continued our involvement with
the Order, and I went to Mexico in 1981 for the Sixth Grade Trip. The
adult guides were Joseph Mathews (Jr.), Araceli Mathews, Desmond Avery,
Ann Avery and Lorena Cobio (Araceli’s sister). </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">My
parents, Becky, Dennis, and I lived in Lima, Peru from 1982-84, during
which time my parents hosted meetings and occasionally travelled to the
small village of Azpitia to help. At some point, I attended an RS-I
course, which was over-my-head. From 1986-89, my parents lived in
Santiago, Chile and remained connected to Order people and activities. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Though
it was half a century ago, I’m seeking information from anyone who may
be able to give me insight into my upbringing. I have a few memories of
my life in Lincoln, but I’m especially curious about what my life and
schedule would have been like in Chicago as an infant and toddler. Does
anyone remember my parents? I would appreciate any information,
subjective or objective, about the Order in those days. </div><span class="gmail-im"><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you in advance,</div><div class="">Sarah O’Boyle</div></span>
