Dear Ellen and Rebstock family, Dick and I were deeply saddened this week at the death of a long time friend, David. And had great rememberings: from him digging in the Bubun vegetable garden in the deadly tropical heat, being in Kansas City and Lorimor when you had kids there, to finance treks to the HDP locations, the trip in your van in 2000 from Denver to Vail with the Lanphears for the Order gathering, book studies and conversations with Mariana Bailey, and more.

Dear Ellen and family, Jim and I send our deepest condolences to you all in your sadness over David’s passing on. I found it a great pleasure to reconnect with David when we both took part in The Last Chapter series. David always was interested in what was happening in Australia especially around the Oombulgurri project. We are grateful his life touched ours in a very meaningful way, thank you for sharing him with us. With our prayers and our love, Isobel and Jim in Australia.

David was part of the Springboard gathering at Lake Junaluska, NC, attending from their home in CA, I recall. Later, David and Ellen spent a year or more in Greensboro, when John and I were still living there. We enjoyed time together with them as they settled in. Ever the teachers, they became affiliated with one of the Presbyterian churches there in the university area and helped orchestrate several programs with global contexts as well as a movie night. In more recent years when we both resettled near our children, David was most helpful in helping some of us get acquainted with zoom technologies. We celebrate this man of many talents and his expenditure in projects around the globe. We send our care to the Rebstock family in this time of transition.

I ran across this poem this evening. Seems relevant, to many of us, particularly to David PerfectionWasted Andanother regrettable thing about death isthe ceasing of your own brand of magic, whichtook a whole life to develop and market -- thequips, the witticisms, the slant adjustedto a few, those loved ones nearest thelip of the stage, their soft faces blanched inthe footlight glow, their laughter close to tears, theirtears confused with their diamond earrings, theirwarm pooled breath in and out with your heartbeat, theirresponse and your performance twinned. Thejokes over the phone. The memories packedin the rapid-access file. The whole act. Whowill do it again? That's it: no one; imitatorsand descendants aren't the same. JohnUpdike Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.
