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.
