This morning in my inbox was the newsletter, "Purple Harmony: A Pause for Beauty 318."‏ If you are not familiar with Heron Dance publications, you can learn more at www.herondance.org. The main person at Heron Dance now is Rod McIver, a writer and watercolor artist. He writes of his life journey. Some of the things he writes have been particularly meaningful to me, and the issue I received this morning is one of them. I went to the link giving a talk by Bill Kriedler at FGC in 1994 and was compelled to read all of it although it is quite long. Perhaps you heard this talk. I then googled on Bill Kriedler and found your eulogy. All of this has given special meaning to me this Labor Day morning. I will look for a copy of his book. I have worked at Peninsula School in Menlo Park since 1986 as a teaching assistant in the primary grades. My two grown children went there. Peninsula was begun by Quakers, Josephine and Frank Duveneck, and their friends. It is not a Quaker school, but incorporates many Quaker values in its mission and daily practice. It was good to see your name and read your eulogy to Bill Kriedler. I hope you are well and still writing. Alice Hello Chuck,
