As a starving grad student at the time I came to Winedale, one of the best parts of the program for me was getting fed regularly and fed so well, with so much care and love that it was as though I had come home and had my mother feeding me again after years of getting by on my own meager and irregular efforts. That whole kitchen was full of love and care and warmth, and Angeline was the center of it. I remember just going in there and standing to the side at times to soak in the atmosphere. I put on weight both summers I was there, which was incredible given the amount of energy that was pouring out of me every day. I wouldn't have had that energy and that feeling of home without Angelene and the other ladies.
Much love to you, Angeline. I know you're up there somewhere cooking. R On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 10:23 PM James Ayres <[email protected]> wrote: > Angelene died today.
