James, In ’68 or ’69, I recall my excitement listening to the Latin American penetration report. I’m sure that you heard it too. Still on the West Side. As I recall, the team included: Addingtons, Loudermilks, Barringers, Lela Jahn and Jim Campbell. Both Lela and Jim had been LA missionaries before joining O:E. It was the process and content of the reporting that was so captivating. No travelogue. Using the art form method, it was a constant foray to the profound. e.g. mestizo culture. We took the entire morning. From that point on, I wanted to find ‘the profound’ in any trip I was making - especially to another culture. Here we are, 55 years later. Ken
I do not recall, at least at this moment — dogs waiting for a walk. Would be a good reflection to capture somehow. Jim Wiegel “We are all time travelers journeying into the future. But let us make that future a place we want to visit. “ Stephen Hawking

Hi Ken, Actually, the 1968 Latin American trip was made up of Gene Marshall, Kay Hayes, Jim Campbell and the Addingtons. We did a series of consults, courses and practical research across Latin America beginning in Mexico, then through Central America, down the west coast of South America, then to Argentina and up the east coast. it was a mind-blowing three months that included the assassinations of MLK and RFK back home. Communication was quite different then, compared to today. We were "out of touch" a good bit of the time. I'm pleased that our report on our experiences made a lasting impression. Peace, James Addington
