Jaime, thanks for
sharing this. Joyce, Don and their family were really important to us when we
first opened the work in Japan. The pages on CaringBridge allow
so little message letters, that I would be grateful if you have an e-mail
address for her or at least one of her daughters.
Many thanks,
Del
Those in this listserv who knew of the
Quimbys (Tokyo and Manila), Joyce Quimby, like the rest of us, lives with her
own case of 'physical disability', in her case, cancer. One of her
daughters got her a page in CaringBridge and I would recommend that those of
had known them might want to visit the site and sign-in, at least, or leave a
word or two.
Joyce husband, Don, was a CEO for Union
Carbide in Manila until he was diagnosed with cancer from what I gathered was
unprotected exposure to radiation while serving in Nevada in the early days of
atomic radiation tests. He organized a Town Meeting that Mary Lou and I,
and another Order member whose name I have forgotten (kiss my Alz),
facilitated. From Majuro, I went back to do a follow-up, in time to give
the eulogy at Don's funeral.
As our
memories wane, those who remember the Quimbys might give her site a read.
