break water). Standing there in the cold rain in this place of tremendous

the distance on the way to somewhere in Wyoming with my friend, Renn Fenton***.
I’ve seen them in the distance 5 or 6 times since; and now, driving into the
mountains through pine trees dusted with snow and a little snow on the ground,
now more, stopping the car down a smaller side road and getting out to be in
the snow surrounded by trees with the snow too deep to walk in. Driving up and
up with deep drifts on the side of the road and the snow coming down and at the
top of the pass the snow is coming down sideways, stinging our faces – Yes!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

to Saratoga, to visit the hot springs there. The Saratoga Hot Springs hotel was
overpriced and the restaurant mediocre, but we had a great time along the river

option than the “resort.”)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

visit Jean’s friends, Katie and Hal for a few days. We hung out on their ranch,
then drove up into the hills, parked, and walked along a dirt road lined with
lupines. Hal forged ahead with the dogs (Dan and Marty) and Katie and Jean
walked through the lupines and I wandered along in my own world. Lunch was at a
café in Bighorn. After lunch we went to a “roping” – a cowboy Memorial Day get-together
and a birthday party and so there we were, standing along the corral fence with
the “headers” and “heelers” roping the steers and the other people sitting on
their horses and a few along the fence.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

bus. The man and I were talking about an Incredible String Band song quote on
the side of bus (“We love you, but Jesus loves you the best”) and he and I sang
a few lines together. Later I recalled that I sang that song to Keo as she was

<span style="font-family: "arial";">*** Renn Fenton and I lived together in a cabin in
Estes Park and climbed in Estes and the Needles in South Dakota. While Jean and
I were traveling in Wyoming and Colorado, I told her a little about Renn. When
we got home I googled him. I discovered that he died in 2007. Here
is something from an internet forum: “</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial";">I am a
travel nurse who has taken care of Renn while he was in the hospital. I wanted
all of you to know that I have felt privileged to be one who got to spend time
caring for Renn during his last days. It was clear to me the first time I laid
eyes on Renn that he was quite a character - when I googled him, I found this
site and saw a comment that made me want to respond. I was actually able to
"break through" with Renn and get him to talk back to me and say my
name. I will forever remember his vivid blue eyes and "cat that got the
canary" smile. I just wanted all of his friends to know that there are
several of his nurses who have appreciated Renn for being the kind of person
who makes this world interesting and feel honored to have cared for your friend.” <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Jean and I and David and
Charles went to a party with about 200 people in a meadow in a park on a
beautiful Sunday (Mother’s Day) afternoon. (This is the same meadow where David
and I had scattered Leslie’s ashes.) Today, the music was feel-good EDM and we
were feeling good, feeling an irrepressible urge to dance – so there we were,
dancing at the edge of the meadow, then into the forest, back into the meadow, and
into a redwood grove. Yeah, this is the way it should be. I danced with Jean,
her friend Courtney, my son, my son’s husband, and random people. It was more
“cozy” (as Jean said) than euphoric. We enjoy open and intimate connections
every day, and a fair amount of magic in our daily lives – we talked about how
this day and its magical experiences are part of living the dream; about <i>our shared commitment to that reality</i>. We walked out of the park, Uber to train, and train
home. Really tired the next day, but felt good. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Thursday notes: Sitting in
a coffee shop near the university, soft guitar music, watching all the pretty
people walking by, decent salad, good espresso, feeling good with Jean. We
visited the Catedral de Barcelona (more traditional than the far-out La
Familia). There were many shrines within the cathedral, some old tombs (from
1500s), and a realistic wax figure of a priest in a confessional. When I leaned
in to look closer, he blinked! It was a living person, not wax – talk about
startled! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We went to La Familia
Sagrada, a strange edifice designed by Antonio Gaudi, the penultimate Barcelona
architect. The cathedral has been under construction since 1882 and is scheduled
for completion in 2026 <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Walked to Barrio Gotic, a
maze of narrow streets, upscale shops, a whole tourist scene. Jean went into
the Picasso Museum and I hung out on the streets. Got a text from Kristina, who
has passed her state boards (NCLEX) – congratulations! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Walking back to our
apartment and up ahead we hear chanting, cheering, lots of people. Checking it
out – las feministas! Into the flow now, joining in long enough to be able to
say we were there. It was a happy and intense time – yet another life bookend
for me – thinking of Leslie and when she bought the early Our Bodies/Our Selves
at the Whole Earth Store in Austin; how in those early days feminism seemed
radical (it was, actually); how she was an avowed feminist until the end of her
life; how she put her beliefs into action, working with and lifting up women
all her life. We were raised in the 1950s, raised ourselves in the 1960s and
now, 50 years later, in a march with Jean, another serious feminist! Fortunate
me! Days later, walking through an area of Barcelona called, “El Clot,” we
picked up a flyer that said, “El Clot esta FEMINISTA o no sera.” Yes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">On to Granada – we missed
our flight, and got another flight. After several misadventures, we got to the
Hotel Leo for our first night in Granada, and then moved to an apartment. The
taxi to the apartment couldn’t take us all the way because of a religious
parade. So we hiked quite a ways and when we were in the middle of the parade,
a parade marshal let us through and we kept on hiking and hiking up narrow
cobblestone streets until finally reaching our apartment at #90 San Juan de los
Reyes.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The apartment was
incredible. First floor entry, second floor two bedrooms and bathroom, and
third floor living room, kitchen, and veranda. From the bedroom and from the
veranda, there were stunning views of Alhambra. And at night, when the
fortress/palace/mosque was lighted, our bed and we were bathed in the light.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Our tickets to see
Alhambra were on a cold and rainy day and so there we were again, walking in

somewhat crowded. We could see our apartment across the little river running
beneath the ramparts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we observed the date of Leslie’s passing, Leslie’s birthday, the anniversary of
Jean’s husband’s passing, and Jean’s wedding anniversary – March is quite a
month, grief-wise! On Leslie’s birthday, Jean asked me what time it was. I said
I didn’t know and so Jean checked her phone. As she opened the phone, the time
clicked over from 7:46 to 7:47 – 747 being the number of greatest meaning to
Leslie. Hi Leslie! Sigh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Leslie and Jean are different
in some ways and similar in others. One profound similarity is that both of
these women do something I call <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">believing
in people</i>. And through the power of this belief (and other factors),
somehow, some people are lifted up, sometimes literally <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">saved</i>. Once again, I ask, how can this be? How can I have ended up
with these women!?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Granada was a high point
of the trip: our incredible apartment and view, narrow cobblestone streets,
little bus up to (what we called) hippie hill, street musicians, good food,
good Spanish wine, romantic everything. I actually had not thought that Spain
would be any more or less romantic than our usual life. But it was <i>very</i> romantic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

rented a car in Granada and drove to Antequera and from there through the
countryside to the Valle de Abdalajis, near one of the “white villages” –
so-called because all the houses are painted white. The drive was beautiful,
though to me (the driver), stressful because of the difficulties finding our
way. But after some challenges, we found where we were spending the night – at Maggie and Elio’s house. We were able to walk into Elio’s olive tree grove –
several acres of trees!</span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

that at the University of Texas approximately 1 in 7 women has been raped. The
president “just grab ‘em by the pussy” of the united states is a misogynist sexual
predator leading a republican party that despises women, except as sex objects

the <i>hope of grace</i> as he prayed for the life of the young
anarchist Salvador Puig Antich, finally executed by garotte” (</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">from Wikipedia). I
understood then that my life of seeking justice for the dispossessed and
underserved could be connected to art. This mattered a lot to me, since Jean

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We went to an opening
featuring one of Jean’s pieces at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. We
got there a little late (straight from flight) and Jean went in to the museum
to find out what we could do with our packs, etc. While I was outside the
museum with all our stuff on the sidewalk, one of Jean’s friends took a fall in
the doorway (thanks to an impatient person pushing past him). His hip was
fractured in the fall/the shove. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Inside the museum it was a
scene – lots of people, some of Jean’s colleagues, friends from Berkeley and
San Francisco, artists, some people wearing art clothes, some people who’ve been around
for awhile, like Fayette from the Cockettes (</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cockettes"><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cockettes</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">). A nice time. I enjoyed
seeing Jean’s work and other pieces, like Wavy Gravy’s jumpsuit, a dress by
Gretchen Fetchen, and other “hippie couture.” (Who would have thought that
there would be hippie couture – but there was and is.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We met Jean’s sister,
Susan, and her husband John at Eately for a good Italian swordfish lunch. It
was wonderful to meet Susan and John.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Jean and I walked for
quite a ways in the city on a cold, cold day. Wonderful coffee shop at Highline
Hotel, cold streets, a walkway where an El had been, so cold – “I’m so high!” “Life
is too short to be anywhere but here.” On to Greenwich Village, walking along the
4<sup>th</sup> Street of Dylan’s Positively 4<sup>th</sup> Street. On to the
Stonewall Inn where gay people took to the streets/rioted in the battle for
liberation. On to Washington Square and NYU’s Grey Gallery featuring work from
avant-garde artists and galleries from the 1950s and 60s. On to meet David and
Charles back at the Stonewall Inn for a glass of wine and on to dinner at Chumly’s,
an old speak-easy where Hemingway, Anais Nin, F. Scott and Zelda, Steinbeck,
E.E. Cummings and a host of other writers hung out. We sat where Simone de
Beauvoir sat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We caught a cab back to
the hotel. The driver was driving aggressively and hit another cab a glancing
blow (NY, what an aggressive place). When the guy pulled over so he and the
other driver could jaw at one another we all just got out and walked away. In a
few minutes the guy drove up next to us, wanting money. We gave him the
approximate fare and moved on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

love in the morning and again at night, then lying in bed singing Van Morrison
songs together. I held her and Jean cried for joy; we cried for joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">More notes: at the
Highline Hotel coffee shop I was suffused with gratitude – “This is the only
way to live.” When I’m really old, read this to me. Remind me that I lived as
fully as a person can live. I’ve loved and been loved by two incredible women
(a warrior princess and a shaman princess – really). I’ve laid in warm beds and
traveled the world and looked upon my son and practiced mercy and walked in misty gardens and run
across the fields and made love in the meadow and danced in the sun and under
the stars and so much more. I’ve lived and loved and been loved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

packed, I went up to say goodbye to David, we took a taxi to the Port
Authority, then bus 273 to Hoboken, and got off almost directly in front of
Jean’s niece Anne’s women’s clothing store. Anne’s son, Arthur, and Jean and I
walked down the street to a Cuban restaurant where we had a lot of food and
fun. After lunch, Jean caught a bus back to the store and Arthur and I went to
a grocery store, then started the trek back to Anne’s. It was 19 – 19! And we
were freezing. I was carrying two bags of groceries, no gloves, and my coat
wouldn’t stay buttoned. Nevertheless, we had a great time, laughing along the
sidewalk and Arthur talking about his Dad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jean and me up to Anne’s room on the third floor of her three story brownstone.

came home, and then Keith, Anne’s BF. Nice dinner, good times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a long time in the 1970s-1990s, but it still had not been published. A few
evenings ago, we were in a small bookstore in Berkeley, and I asked the owner
if she had any books by Jung. She said, “Yes. Would you like to see the Red Book?”
“Yes(!!!)” And so she brought out this “reader’s edition” of the fabled Red
Book (written between 1913-1930) – the basis of Carl Jung’s later works/his
life’s work. Later she went into the back room and brought out a copy of the
big original, complete with Jung’s paintings and drawings. Wow!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

afternoon (see below) and Jean flew in a few days later and we celebrated the

fragility of one another and caring for each other (caring more about the other
than self) and the tenderness and discovery and sex and romance and sensuality
and acceptance and clear, open communication and depending on one another and
softness around one another and around the love and around this life … <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Opening the box/the Christmas season triggered a flood of emotion and I cried
as I did in the first months after Leslie passed. It’s a hard, consuming crying
that goes on and on and leaves me exhausted and sore all through my body. Jean

there dancers in the glade (I think on this night the faeries were on the side
of the hill). At the Circle of Friends everyone placed a candle in memory of
someone (for me, Rueben). Then down a path at the edge of the glade where names
of people who died projected in a moving, never-ending list on the trunks of
the redwoods.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was a modesty issue and I looked away without lingering. I always had the sense
that she appreciated that. I took care of her and her daughter (in pink) for
years. When I saw them that last time (photo) her daughter was about 13 or 14,

into the quiet and majestic redwood grove where faeries watch from the underbrush, to the side of the hill to dance in the sun on

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sitting in the front window above the Noe Street sidewalk listening to Van Morrison. I’ve been sorting and packing this morning (moving from San Francisco to Berkeley). It’s not easy – boxes of memories, of sadness, what to keep, what to discard (not much of the latter). Listening to The Healing Has Begun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A few days ago, I told my friend Kristina that in the last months of Leslie’s life it was like there were shimmering falls of love and beauty coming down on us around us through us. Now, just short of 18 months later, I’m grateful I’m transfigured with love past and present.</span></div>

health nursing students into refugee communities. There were nearly always 8
students/group, so initially we had 4 teams of 2 students and me. Later as our
reputation spread, we had volunteer and then paid translators and community
health workers, like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">promotoras de salud</i>.
Still later in the process we developed clinics with medical (primary care,
psychiatry, gynecology, pediatrics, etc.) and other services, which were integrated
into the district health scene. But for now, I’ll describe the straight
district health end of things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We started in one apartment building (about 40 units),
where a lot of refugees lived (as well as other poor people). We went door to
door, finding health and related problems. On the first day, two of students
helped deliver a baby – so we knew things were going to be interesting. Every
time we’d find a problem, one of the student teams would stop to help the
people solve the problem. Some problems were straightforward and readily solved,
some took semesters to solve, and some were never completely solved. Often, one
thing would lead to another and we’d work with the people over time. And Leslie
was working with us (what an education for students <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that</i> was!). It was <b>never, ever</b> about referral. It was <b>always</b> about
helping the most underserved people be served – solving problems (pregnancy, primary care, depression, hunger, family violence, cancer, and on and on and on). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that building to continue working through problems and went through the same
process in the next building. Then we left another team in the second building
and started working through the third. And so on. Over time, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">over semesters</i> we had all the buildings covered in about an 8 block
area (which was a lot). And we also had classes and other outreach (health
screening, vaccinations, etc.) going on in schools, churches, and community
gathering places; for awhile we were doing intake assessments for children who had
been removed from their homes because of abuse; and we added the medical, etc. and
expanded clinic hours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

meals beyond belief (I’ve never had a tasting menu before – Ay Caramba!), Had a lovely birthday dinner for Jean, and had
wonderful, wonderful times together. I am deeply grateful to David and Charles

Big Sur, where we slept two nights outside among the redwoods by a mountain
stream, watched the shimmering light on the leaves, saw an incomparable sunset
in good fellowship, had lovely meals in a clearing in the forest, hung out
around an old table cross-cut from a huge redwood (it was cut long ago – the
people who invited Jean are serious about preserving the wilderness), sat on a
beautiful beach watching the sea otters, walked in the redwood forest, and
became younger and more beautiful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

birthday dinner for David at my apartment, including the last bottle of
champagne from their wedding. There were tears for the 49 people murdered in
Orlando. There were stories of David’s epic John Muir Trail trek, reminiscing,
Berkeley, San Francisco, music, good food, just being together. It was a
beautiful evening. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

huge gathering of </span><b><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Shiny Happy
People</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> dancing, loving, laughing, <i>being</i>,
and sweet, sweet vibes – including Jean and me. I’m blown totally away by this
freedom and love vibrating through so many people. An unimaginably beautiful
repudiation of hate and negativity and judgment. And an all-time great party!
Jean pointed that this was a be-in. It was – a fine and true Human Be-In, a
Love-In!</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

just pouring into the park. We went back to my apartment, then met David and
Charles on the corner, where we talked for awhile and a half block away Market
Street was packed with marchers. We tagged on to the end of the march (Bom!)
and I couldn’t stop dancing onward to Castro where these/us truly shiny happy
people blocked the intersection of Market and Castro to dance and talk and BE
and the police stood back and gradually the crowd dispersed. <i>It was
intense</i>.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Sunday we went to a Pride Parade viewing party above Market
Street. There were lots of people and drinks, food, music, two men in brief
briefs dancing on tables. On the street below the parade kept coming and coming
and coming. We went out to the street to be closer to an endless stream of

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Saying again and again Love is Love is Love is Love – there were
Dykes on Bikes, SF Lesbian and Gay Freedom Band, Cancer Survivors (one sign
said “Fuck Cancer” and another said, “I Don’t Have Nipples” – cheers of love
all down the street), Transgender Veterans, Age On (“Life’s a Stage”), Oakland
Fire Department Stands United With Orlando, Naked and Sacred, Google, Apple,
“Eat me – try Vegan,” Facebook, Oracle, (“Be proud of who you are”), all the
tech companies, Walmart(!), a gay couple who had been together 50 years,
Lesbian and Jewish/Gay and Jewish/Bi and Jewish, Muttville Senior Dog Rescue
(“Muttville Pride”), and so deeply moving – all the flags of the countries of
origin of the people killed in Orlando. And more and more and more…</span></div>

piling in at the Montgomery stop and it’s getting very crowded and one of the
people who just came in has a cool little music player with decent bass and the
music starting and 4-5 people dancing on the other side of the couple kissing
and kissing next to us and the guy with mental illness getting really excited,
laughing and yeah, me too. This IS the train. (Everything happened exactly as
described, but it's also allegorical.)</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Sunday afternoon at the end of Pride, Jean and I went to
Duboce Park a half block from the apartment to take a nap, lying on sarongs
under a tree in shifting sun-dappled shade with a background of happy voices,
laughter, N Judah train rumbling past, music somewhere up the hill, leaves in
the wind, bouncing ball, opening my eyes seeing four people playing a gentle
game of bocce – “O00hhh,” they were saying when someone made a good throw – and
20 feet away a woman dancing barefoot in the grass, breastfeeding her baby.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Santa Cruz where Jean was to give a talk to a weaver’s guild. Traffic was heavy
until we got over the mountains. Finally a mad dash into a coffee shop where she
hesitated at the car and I dashed on in to the restroom. Ahhh, Knock-Knock,
“Hurry up.” I opened the door and she came in and not that I ended up peeing in
the sink while she used the commode… but if I did, I rinsed it out with care.
Whew! A relationship building exercise. On to the weaver’s guild venue (a
little late) into a forest where we unloaded the art Jean would use for her
presentation.

Ken Kesey, Mountain Girl, Wavy Gravy and all had a scene among the redwoods. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What a job you’ve done! And look what lies ahead! I am proud to know you and
your family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana";">I want to share some
things that were helpful to me in one way or another along the way toward
graduating <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">magna cum laude</i> from
Baylor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana";">Background: from
middle school through high school and into college I was a terrible student.
When I applied to Baylor, I had a 1.7 GPA – proof of my poor performance in
school. The Dean at Baylor gave me a list of prerequisites and told me to come
back if I could make straight A’s in those subjects. She was surprised when I
showed up a year later with all A’s in chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology,
and so on! What helped:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Never missed a
class, was never late, always sat up front, and paid total attention in class.
I was unafraid to ask questions during or after class – or before the next class. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">As soon as possible
after every class I recopied my notes (adding material from texts if needed to
help me understand). In this manner, I heard the material, wrote the material,
and rewrote and started integrating the material. It was like pre-studying for
tests. I don’t know how I would interact with a computer or PowerPoint in this
process – maybe read carefully back through notes and use text to add to them? I don’t
know.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Changed my

<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Treated school
like a job – I worked at it from 8am to 5 or 6pm. I didn’t take long social
lunches, but I always ate lunch and didn’t study while eating. I also took
other breaks and changed my study locations during the day when I started
getting sleepy. In <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

undergraduate school I took most of most weekends off; in
graduate school I had to work harder – that was a 6-7 day/week job. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Group projects are a
fact of life. And there are always people who don’t do their part, are late, and
are otherwise non-productive. Be assertive in identifying smart, motivated
people (they’re often quiet people) and connecting with them to work together.
This is an important skill.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Often studied with
other people – again, choosing carefully. You’ll make good study connections
over time.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Avoided situations
and people who wouldn’t help in my journey. I don’t mean I didn’t help other
people; I did. But I avoided people who were unmotivated, drinkers, stoners,
gamers, and so on. I went out some on weekends, but it was not one big party. I
actually had a very good time in school, and have been having a good time ever
since. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">I recall seeing some
legitimate research showing that students who worked part-time in college
tended to do well – working apparently does not have an adverse effect on
grades.</span></li>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 115%;">Always bought used
books. If it’s such a great book and worth the high price charged for new, you
can always get one later.

30-something Marines standing together where there had once been 180. The ones

been too sick to fight (with malaria, etc.). All of us in that formation had
been wounded at least once. We were what was left of C Company, 1<sup>st</sup>
Battalion, 26<sup>th</sup> Marine Regiment, 5<sup>th</sup> Marine Division. We
had all gone together as a landing force, first been truly blooded at the DMZ
in Operation Deckhouse (Prairie), fought for months at Dodge City, fought on Highway
1, and ended up at Khe Sanh. I had also gone on TAD (Temporary Assigned Duty)
with 1<sup>st</sup> Battalion, 9<sup>th</sup> Marines and several other units
in the Hill Fights, the “First Battle of Khe Sanh,” Gio Linh, Con Tien, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

somehow, I and my mate, Carver, got away from the Shore Patrol (military police).

along Castro, behind a couple sharing a vape. He was wearing a Humboldt State
University Marching Lumberjacks jacket. A plaque set into the sidewalk
commemorates a week in 1998 when the Castro gay community newspaper (Bay Area
Reporter) had no obituaries. In the 1980s into the 90s there had been an
average of 12 obits every week as AIDS ravaged this community more than any other.

The man and I talked a little. He and his daughters were going to the Haight.
He asked me if I know where the Jefferson Airplane house is. I said, I wasn’t
sure, maybe Page, but somebody will know. I looked it up when I got home – it’s
at 2400 Fulton. The little boy who lives in the other apartment on my floor
wanted me to watch him ride his bike. This was his second day of riding and he
got going pretty good. Another Saturday afternoon in The City.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was a time, before “I Heart Radio” – gag, when sometimes you would turn the

These are great songs from the past, but the point is, you can’t hear current

is a whole lot of greatness happening today. I’ve been listening to Madame

Robbins (sent by Jean C.): “I could listen to Van Morrison’s “Astral Weeks”
forever and never grow tired of it. Listening to it somehow connects me to a
deep truth, old as the universe itself. I’ve more than once found myself
listening to the album and falling into a reverie, completely lost in its time;
weeping uncontrollably, grabbing my chest to slow my breathing. I don’t know
what it is exactly about this album. I don’t think I ever will. I feel it so
viscerally, that it has become me. I am a writer, who can often write about
music with skill, but I will never touch even the outskirts of what makes
“Astral Weeks” so timeless, and so majestic. There’s a courageousness in Van
Morrison’s deep search into the slipstream. “Astral Weeks” flies headlong into
love, finding a melancholy so true it rips your heart out. I’m bruised by the
beauty of “Astral Weeks”. The world isn’t the same once you’ve really heard it.
The album shows us how everything in this world is tinged with a meaning deeper
than we can fathom, and that we need to embrace it. All of it: death, love, hurt,
despair, elation, decay, passion, tragedy, nature, spirituality — and to
ultimately find connection with all things”.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

but most of all she is someone whose nature encompasses us all. Like
you said she is US. She is YOUTH.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Madame Joy" but the way I wrote it down was "Madame
George". Don't ask me why I do this because I just don't know. The song is
just a stream of consciousness thing, as is Cyprus Avenue… Madame George just
came right out. The song is basically about a spiritual feeling.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Leslie. I’m thinking how you and I have lived The Dream. Our whole lives
working for a better world, for justice (you’re a warrior, no doubt), for
suffering people, for beauty – living a world of love, navigating our way
through what I truly believe were the most incredible times in history – civil
rights, women’s rights, sexual revolution, psychedelic revolution, gay
rights/marriage equality and the list goes on and we were there/we are here,
together, each in our own way, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">making it

But with the rapid illness of my mom, who was only in her 60s at the time, life
suddenly felt too short not to take a risk. How would I feel at 80 if I did, or
did not, make this choice? Before I had the courage to truly take the leap

have assured the family that he would be admitted. I did not go to the apt
today as they were waiting for the Hospice Nurse so I don’t know if Nabilah and
her husband who arrived yesterday were able to take him to Green Oaks after I
left yesterday- that was their plan when I left about 4:30.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

patients and close the clinic, maybe the 2 of you could visit her and see that
everything is in place with Hospice (I have the # for Vitas but don’t know what
Social Worker and Nurse are assigned). I will plan to go on Friday and over the
weekend. We need to visit whenever we can- she has begun to have increasing
symptoms as the cancer spreads throughout her body. Two days ago, she began
having severe pain in her right leg, a result of it spreading to the bones in
that leg, and yesterday she began to have difficulty swallowing. So Min
predicts that she has only a short time (when pushed for an estimate, she told
me 4-6 weeks and maybe less). As the cancer progresses, Min says that she will decline
rapidly so we need to schedule ourselves to go by any day we can. If we share
and you take Thursday/Friday beginning next week, I’ll take the rest. It is a
great comfort to both Maryam and Nabilah to have us so I think we must do
whatever we can.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

would be the time. My heart breaks for this family, scattered all over the
world, who in the end don’t even have their Muslim brothers and sisters to
support them. To my knowledge (and Min’s) there has only been one visitor from
the mosque in Richardson and that was at least 2 weeks ago. Of course, we
haven’t discussed the irony that this beautiful Muslim girl would die
surrounded by a Jewish Dr., his Hindu Nurse, a fellow wounded soul from Burma
and her Christian friends from Agape.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
