We have received word that colleague Annette Bingham has completed her earthly journey this afternoon.
Many of you will remember Bill and Annette from their year in Chicago in the early 70’s with their 4 children, Allen, Lorrie, Jeb, and Daniel. Bill, an Economics Prof at NCState University, was part of the economic team at the Maliwada HDP consult and both Annette and Bill were at the Woburn Lawn consult. Annette was on the panchayat trek around 1980. Their son Allen, a UMC minister in the area hit by Matthew, spent a year in Kenya. Bill and Annette traveled back to Maliwada with Nelson and Elaine this past year and were met by one of the village elders who came forth with his treasured copy of the HDP document and showed a certificate with Bill’s signature on it.
Nelson asked me to pass this on to the list and he will collect remembrances to take to the family on Saturday. His address is above. See his note below. You may also post them on the OE list as we collectively remember this amazing woman who journeyed with us.
Our care to the family in Raleigh, NC. Lynda
Thank you for making us aware of Annette’s condition. Elaine and I went to Raleigh today. We were at the hospital during the last hour of her life. After she passed, we shared the moment with Bill, Allen, Jeb and Lorrie.
Her soul is in peace.
I think the funeral will be Saturday morning in Raleigh. Elaine and I are currently planning to attend. There may be another celebration of her life on or around Nov. 1.
Take care.
Nelson and Elaine
