Completed Life of Frank Powell
I have heard from Sandy Conant, Frank's former wife, that Frank died earlier this week in Nairobi. He endured major medical issues for several years and apparently they all caught up with him. After the Order entered into its diaspora, I worked closely with Frank for many years during the 1990s on various consulting assignments across Africa. Frank was a very creative, and often stubborn, man. I celebrate with you his completed life. Grace and Peace, Terry Bergdall
Thanks for letting us know. I didn’t realize Frank was still in Nairobi all these years. I should have looked him up one of the times I was through there. I always appreciated his persistence.

Thanks for the word, Terry. Frank was a creative and powerful presence. Our work with him and Sandy (and many others) in Mississippi in the mid-late 70s was a whirlwind of doing (1000 miles/week in the car), shaping Terry McCabe and me in ways we still are examining. Here's to his completed life, with gratitude for his being.
