Hi George, I lost track of you and now here you are again but alas you've departed your body. Very nice to read your life story - you were always so quiet and unassuming - so gentle. You and so many others in the buddhist community formed such a cradle of care and compassion for me as I went through my twenties in Halifax and other parts of the mandala.
I'm interested to hear about where you lived in River John/Cape John? My family cottage was up on the Cape on the beach called Meg's Cove and I have owned my own land there for the past seven years or so.
Take care and I hope to have the honour of meeting you again in the next life.
With love and devotion,
Robert
