Georgianna, I met you one summer in Chicago. Your strength, humor, style, and wisdom were a real demonstration of possibility for me. Here's to the journey you are on now and to the memories we have of you.

I recollect that you mentored me at my first Town Meeting in Midland MI, the company town of Dow Chemical. Two or Three hundred people. You had it all organized and it was a terrific event thanks to you.

I remember when you were putting your heart and soul into the Town Meeting Campaign. I walked by your table (desk, cubicle, or whatever) when you were knee deep in Reports that had come back from Town Meetings, and your were trying to figure out how to file these so that the wisdom could be made available later. You were working on archives before most of us knew what the word meant. That determination has served you and the rest of us well. Our best to you.

We are hoping for calm and gentle days for Georgianna. I remember so well being invited out to the Mc Burney household, and experiencing such bonhomie and fun and laughter there! One time George invited Jim and me into his downtown office, and very proudly showed us a new form of communication- the Fax- he was so proud that a Facsimile he was sending to New York took 7 minutes to arrive there! Those were the days! We hope that y'all enjoy the Summer and keep on journeying on, journey on.
