Oh….. thank-you, James !!!! In those hundreds of Stan Crow pics were many, many, adults that were caring for our beautiful children. I saw Kay Hayes (Kaze), Don Hinkleman, and many others. My niece, Mira Fisher, (Brian & Marguerite - Montreal) was a part of a fabulous rite of passage event with Jo Nelson. Of course, don’t we all remember the Student House Mike Mays ‘Iron Man’ saga? In the summer of ’69, I bought 6 school buses to transport the Emerging Generation to my childhood Anglican Camp Pontiac in West Quebec, an hour from Ottawa. And also to a site in Pennsylvania. (Yay, Aimée Hilliard.) Even at Camp Pontiac, many years later, I learned that there was an unseemly event. A young girl was molested. We did the very best we could. All is good. Ken

How extraordinarily wonderful !!!
Thank-you, Stan ! Thank-you, Ann ! Thank-you, Maryellen ! Thank-you, Michael ! Thank-you, O:E !
Along side of the injuries and abuse, my sons loved the Brussels House, all its kids, and Tim Casswell’s story telling. (80-83)
In Montreal, with their partners and their 7 kids, they live across the street from one another. They love their collectivity and care.

David Marshall and Iron Boy has reignited, once again, the “Family Order,” “Emerging Generation,” “Phase One” conversation among those of us still standing.
Prior to her death in 2019, Ann St. John became the guardian of a box of old photos representing a diverse collection of Emerging Generation history. I am guessing this archive was the collection of Stan Crow. Ann had the photos digitized and our daughter, Maryellen, laboriously placed each of the 800-plus photos on Dropbox which you are welcome to visit and review at this link:
Most of these photos are poor quality and have limited artistic value. But some will evoke stories from your own memory or present the parameters of a story emerging from the content of the image. Feel free to explore.
Grace and Peace,
Michael

Hey Randy, Got to go on record. Before that time, and in retrospect, I saw childhood sexual abuse in the churches, in my church, and in the Scouting movement in Canada, of which I was a leader. It is in our Western patriarchal culture. I also witnessed spousal abuse in and out of the O:E. Among others, I confess to being unwilling to ‘out’ the abusers. I came close.. While being angry, I could not find ‘an ear’. Only a decade ago, my oldest shared his sense that he had been abused in Bombay, at less than three. He is a phenomenal parent, raising two Inuit boys and one of their own. At the Denver reunion in 2000, those gathered made a deeply heartfelt apology. Other institutions did that under legal duress. We were naive, and yet we were different. And… there are E.G. staff members who have never apologized. While there is no excuse, I do declare (Joe Pierce) that the 'all-is-good' is inherent in the O:E. Donald is a pedophile. Are you going to block all of America? Ken
