Thank you Jack and Louise for the tribute to Gene Marshall and Larry Ward.  They were indeed giants of the Spirit Movement while in the Order and afterwards.  Ellie and I, with other colleagues, joined an inspiring memorial for Larry Ward last night in the Buddhist mode.Carleton StockKendal at Oberlin (Ohio) On Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 10:46:24 AM CDT, Jack and Louise Ballard via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Hello,   We stand in deep gratitude for the lives and dedication of Gene and Larry.  Giants as teachers and spirit gurus, they allowed the order to learn and grow.  How we have benefitted from their gifts, so freely offered.  Words are so inadequate….   We send profound sympathy and love to their families and friends.     In thanksgiving, Jack and Louise Ballard   _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
