David, What a terrific find! Marysville was such a beautiful place. I’m so glad you now have the footage of it from before it was devastated by the fires. Even from the states, learning of the fires broke my heart.
And thanks, Chris, for posting the video that David made following the gathering. It is a lovely one. Complete with that star from the sun at the end. Seeing old friends in it makes me smile. We look so young! My hair is still mostly black. :-) So many wonderful memories indeed. Best of the new year to all, Peggy ________________________________ Peggy Holman Co-founder Journalism That Matters Bellevue, WA 98006 206-948-0432 www.journalismthatmatters.org www.peggyholman.com Twitter: @peggyholman JTM Twitter: @JTMStream Enjoy the award winning Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity <http://www.engagingemergence.com/> > On Jan 6, 2023, at 9:13 AM, christopher macrae via OSList > <[email protected]> wrote: > > thanks david , Ho and all Found lovely 5 minute video Open Space.mpg > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WlRiX_ID68> wish I had known of it in 2002 > - but seems even more meaningful today > chris NY and wash dc whats app +1 240 316 8157 > > > Open Space.mpg > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WlRiX_ID68> > > > > On Friday, 6 January 2023 at 10:43:49 GMT-5, Suzanne Daigle via OSList > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Dear David, > I recollect getting a glimpse of these.
