I remember, especially, Bruce’s twinkly eyes and his way of standing at an angle . . . An old spiritual, that I don’t remember ever learning, goes round in my head, and sometimes I sing these few lines aloud — at our food bank or just anywhere “Oh what fellowship, oh what joy divine Leaning on the everlasting arms…” Jim Wiegel “…the long work of turning their lives into a celebration is not easy. Come and let us talk“. The Sunflowers. Mary Oliver

Martha Laird just shared with me that Bruce Donnelly died a few days ago. When I saw him in October he said he’d had some serious medical issues but he was the same outgoing host for a reunion of the original Atlanta house.
I hope the link to his obituary from the newspaper comes through. If not, it is handled through the Sandy Springs Chapel. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries?searchtext=donnelly&locationcode=7119
I’m attaching the photo of our recent gathering in the fall with Ike & Charlene Powell, Jean Watts, Martha Laird & Bruce. Eileen & George Howard had left before the picture was taken. The papers on the dining room table visible in the background were old ICA brochures he’d kept.
