Dear colleagues far and wide, I hope life treats you gently, and there are special moments each day you savour. Here is Jim at his 90th Birthday Dinner. He began his Birthday in August, when the extended family gathered at a French inspired restaurant in a nearby suburb. 38 family came together, only two nephews missing! On Saturday he will be special guest at our weekly Neighbours brunch with cake included! The very last Celebration will be this coming Sunday. His 88 year old sister will bake a special Birthday cake and the Church community will wish him well. A life well lived. The Order EI and ICA experiences completely changed Jim’s life, as his Memoirs testify. Journey on, journey on dear colleagues. With love and blessings to each one, Isobel Bishop. Sent from my iPhone

Dear Jim, Always lovely to hear a word from you ! Our Memoirs are lodged in the Global Archives ( I think). Dear Jean Long organised this shortly before her untimely death. There is a hard copy in book form of them both, and also we digitised them both. We are glad ‘to put them aside’ and get on with the task of living as sensibly as we can these days ! It is truly amazing to me how much the Order years shaped our beings. Many helpful methods still kept us relatively ‘on track’ Take good care to you and all yours, To all on the Long March, With love, Isobel and Jim xo🐨🌏🌠 Sent from my iPhone
