Yes,

I do remember George and Silas at the ITI, and that digeridoo that they played during the daily office! That ITI knocked everybody's socks off!

Thanks, Dharma. Many of the stunning art pieces in your link remind me of the bark painting George Winnigudj sent to Joe and me following the July - August 1969 Singapore ITI. As you probably recall, George and his colleague Silas Roberts were two aboriginal "pioneers" who joined 118 other people from across Seapac and South Asia for that first 6-week training program.

George's gift to us arrived in Singapore in September 1969 in the midst of typhoon season. The local post office was flooded, and closed for days. When we received the very waterlogged package and opened it, the bark was a bit buckled, but the images of crocodiles and turtles as clear as can be. We still treasure that gift and the gesture of friendship across cultures it represents for us.

Such fond memories of those days working with you in KL and Singapore....

Grace and peace,

Marilyn

Hi Steve,

I'm not familiar with the Mowanjum folks but those who are might recognise some of these artists from the Mowanjum website -http://www.mowanjumarts.com/artists/index.php

I'd like to make a storyboard of Shropshire telling that "omega point" story and share it.

Anyone have a picture of Mowanjum, maybe some local characters there, maybe a picture of Shropshire?

Steve
