A story first. When Ron and I first moved to Northfield in 2001 we met Carl and Faye Caskey at the Northfield Methodist Church. Ron was talking with them and I walked up (I'd never spoken with them before) and said,"Are you familiar with the Ecumenical Institute?" Faye responded, "I played marbles with Gene Marshall when I was a child. My family lived next door to the Marshall's." Both Faye and Carl graduated from Yale Divinity School. Marshall, you may remember Carl. A few years ago Carl asked if the ICA Global Archives would like his files from OCU/Oklahoma A & M and Christian Faith and Life Community days. What he had was a treasure trove of early work done 1962-1966. About 7 years ago Paul and I brought the Caskey Collection to the archives...many boxes. Paul and I went through the files and saved what we felt were the major treasures. We filled a 5-drawer file cabinet with what we perceived to be the most valuable files, e.g. the OCU RS-1 materials. From 1963-1966 Carl and colleagues worked on 4 versions of RS-1 and taught many courses to college students. I believe those versions were included in the Caskey Collection. I'm thinking that interviewing and filming both Carl and Faye Caskey would fill in an important piece of CF&LC and RS-1 history. How about it Marshall? Come to Northfield to interview and film Carl and his wife Faye. Beret On Wed, Apr 28, 2021 at 5:39 PM Len Hockley via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:
Indeed that was exactly where we were at that point. Gordon and family had moved to Kalamazoo to take a position at Western Mich U. And the Hockleys were back in Detroit. We teamed up with the Cookinghams in Lansing to cover the Metro with meetings in Detroit.

On the theme of winging it, I am going to suggest this conversation which Gordon reported may have been more about formation of the Detroit regional cadre than actual curriculum?
