I'm way behind in expressing my condolences for the completed lives of Nan Grow, David Zahrt, Lynn Bailey, George Holcombe and there are no doubt others. I was always moved by Psalm 103 which states (with my changes): Our days are like the grass; we flourish like flowers of the field; later the wind passes over the field, and the flowers are gone, and the field knows them no more. How can this be? Yet is so. Thank God for the flower who once in glory stood giving birth to new flowers that still brighten the field. Though I left the order long ago, my "colleagues" in the Order are still like a second family to me. Yes, they still stand tall within me and I love them so.

Each time I read messages written by "Order Colleagues", I update my last "Directory" ! Then decided, I'd better check out my info. - many changes.! Jaecks, Ann S. Retired RN, grandmom to 9 and great grandmom to 11. 1121 So 50th Ave. Apt. 35. Wausau, WI. 54401 Phone - 715=842-4888 7asjaecks@gmail.com Am probably only remembered by the 2nd generation. I was camp nurse at New Jerusalem. While at Centrum (3444) and North Shore House was out earning maintenance funds as RN. Have you really ever prayed from your whole being? I was the nurse who had 3 CDC MD's stand before me and announce that "Since - you have 315 campers and more than 200 are positive with Shigella B, you can expect 2 or 3 deaths and 10 to 15 in the hospital ! ! ! I turned my back to them and declared, "Oh God, give me all the wisdom and strength needed, NOW!" "I want to deliver all these youth back to their parents." In a later report, the CDC proclaimed that this camp had turned into a fine tuned team. Thank you to all the youth, especially the small group of adult staff led by Carlos Zervagon. Many times, I have sat in front of a computer to type about this experience. However, with a few words, my tears would overtake me. I'd turn off the computer. Thanks for the memories ! After sleeping for 2 weeks, we returned to the community. After the Global Odyssey, Bob went to India for a year. With the growth from "Order" involvement, I was able to follow-thru on some burning demands I felt. In the early 1980's I was the driving force to develop the first USA Hospice. You will not find my name on it. But, my heart sings whenever I hear someone is receiving this care. Love to all ! Thank you Herman ! You inspired me this day!

One memory of you is doing a Reiki healing with me. I had viral liver cancer and we were having an "end of the Order" event in DC w Area NY. I was in great pain and the Reiki totally released it for the weekend. I also remember you saying Nurses were being trained to use it. (Eventually, I got the training and use it on occasion). I have always been grateful to you for that. Judi White On Sat, Oct 17, 2020, 1:39 PM Ann Jaecks via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Ann – your are remembered even by people like me who you may not have worked with or remember… I am eternally grateful for your courage on the frontline and for the team that did bring all our kids home. I had a similar experience with 52 sixth graders in a big yellow school bus rumbling from Chicago to Billings, Montana for a 3 week trip. We too had a resourceful, highly committed staff (though way too undertrained for the contingencies of such an assignment). We made it though without losing a soul, while blowing out one bus engine climbing hills in Montana, a huge shop-lifting spree in a National Park gift shop; teen-age girls entering puberty in BEAR COUNTRY… etc. In our staff contexting session prior to departure Charles (Al) Lingo accurately predicted that the curriculum that we had written in advance would likely give way to the real curriculum which would rise up from the soil. Yep, he had it right…and our staff meetings along the way were first cousins to your prayer form your whole being… felt like a daily drill in crisis management. Never the less, we did have a profound encounter with Indian Country, Jess Sixkiller our native American guide, and the beauty of the West. The support of the sixth-graders was life saving for the six adult staff. Heading home from Montana, we were behind schedule to make it back to the Kemper Building (now Green Rise) in time for the closing of the Summer Program (Summer ’72 I think). So each staff member would take turns at the wheel of the school bus so we could keep going without any long stops. The emerging generation kids picked a song to sing each time the drivers began a shift driving. I was sound asleep in the back row of seats and “When Iron Men, Go marching in, When Iron Men go marching in…” rang out is full voice from the kids. I was launched out of my slumber and charged down the aisle of the bus to take the wheel…fully awake and empowered to drive my shift. (tears of appreciation on my laptop keys as I write…) Thanks for your story, which triggered my memory bank…glad we have cyber links to stay in touch across the miles.

Thanks, Herman for the note and especially the poetry. You happen to be one of my “colleagues” long standing within me form our days together in Cleveland. I remember a pedagogy session where as you were setting the context you noted: (my paraphrase) “You may keep a personal journal, but in your RS-I preparation your personal journaling can fit right into your Freedom Lecture 4 x 4…” - This has stuck with me as a reminder to include my own witness in presentations etc. Warmly, Sherwood From: OE <oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net> On Behalf Of Herman Greene via OE Sent: 15 October, 2020 8:17 AM To: OE Listserv <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> Cc: Herman Greene <hfgreenenc@gmail.com> Subject: [Oe List ...] For all the Saints I'm way behind in expressing my condolences for the completed lives of Nan Grow, David Zahrt, Lynn Bailey, George Holcombe and there are no doubt others.
