When the Saints go marching in
With the death of Bill Bailey, I am reminded as to how our OE Saints are all marching in as their names are called. Beyond condolences, it is often hard to know what else to do. Here's a cultural idea to think about. At soccer matches in Europe, to recognize the death of someone who was dear to the sports club, at a designated time the fans in the crowd at the stadium are encouraged to participate in one minute of ..... applause. That's right, not silence, applause. A full throated, noisy ovation of appreciation for that recently departed person. What if we picked a designated time after each of our Saints march in and stop what we are doing, say their name, and give them one last sustained round of global, collective applause for being? Way to go. Cheers, Stuart
good idea, will beat my drum, too!

Dear Order Colleagues, To all of you that have responded to Bill’s death, I want to say "thank you” for re-membering Bill. Your comments about Bill have meant the world to me! As Joe use to say, “when all the blue shirt have gather at the pearly gates, we will all march in together!” Bill will be there waiting for us. Grace & Peace, Marianna
