The loss of Wayne.Hard to find words. Saturday while driving home from the funeral for Paul's father in Texas, I read Jo and Wayne's Christmas letter to Paul. Their lives seemed close at hand. Wayne and Jo have been lights in my life for years. The day before we left to drive to Texas, the second week in January, Duncan Holmes was helping me find the source of a document for inclusion in one of the ICA Global Archives collections. Wayne was a part of the conversation. He mentioned he was working on a document, ToP Methods Foundation. He'd completed 17 pages and was eager to keep writing. He sent me a draft and I had been looking forward to reading the draft and eventually, his completed work. Today I printed the draft with a deep sense of loss of a special colleague and friend. Over the years I've experienced Wayne's capacity to listen to a conversation on Dialogue or OE, take it all in, and craft a wise, synthesizing response. I will miss his contributions to our ongoing collective conversations and am thankful for his long presence among us.
From our common memory.
