Dear Ann Epps and friends, A practice of the ancient Greeks when somebody died, was to share one of the good things we remember from the person. I never met John personally, but I remember him most kindly from the clear, deep and caring way of his article “Facilitation from the Inside Out”. It will always be a guide for me. Thank you John, and be well. Consciently, Gerd Sent from my iPhone

Received word this morning that University of Tampa Professor John Giancola passed away over the weekend from COVID. Favorite instructor, not only of the college years. Truly admirable & influential. Safe home & God speed, Professor. Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing. John Lennon 401 North Beverly Way,Tolleson, Arizona 85353 623-363-3277 jfwiegel@yahoo.com www.partnersinparticipation.com
