<div dir="auto">Hello Jack and Louise, I missed the emails about Larry and Gene. I had the pleasure and honour of working with them both for sometime in the Academy. I learned a lot. Larry was head of the Black Academy and Gene The Academy.Both With great teachers. I remember Gene Could explain. 3=mc Squared better than old videos of Einstein. Larry taught me how to run a seminar and bring the Music of the walls. He also taught me how to pull lecture out of my back pocket whenever necessary.</div><div dir="auto">I am saddened by their passing but grateful andrenewed by just thinking about them.</div><div dir="auto">Best wishes Lis Banks</div><div dir="auto"></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 28 Aug 2025 at 8:06 am, David Marshall via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Order: Ecumenical, EI, ICA Colleagues & Friends,<div><br></div><div>Less than a week after Dad’s passing, his whole-life memoir is now available on iUniverse: THE MAKING OF A RELIGIOUS RADICAL, by Gene Wesley Marshall.
