Yes, Mike, thank you so much for sending this, and you
too, Madge, for
putting it on Facebook. It was wonderful to walk through the living history
led by Doc, to observe him observing all of us, to see the project through
his scholarship and discoveries and memories and insights and continual
subtle and bold adjustments to his work.
Kelsi, are you on this email list? Congratulations on a beautiful job. I'm
deeply grateful for this document. I confess to having a favorite passage
already, even though rereadings will bookmark many more:
They also remember the times when they didn't quite do it, and they laugh
those off. And that's fine. While I'm preaching one message, I'm also very
much aware that the very first thing we do here is fail. And there's
nothing wrong with that. The only way from failure—you go straight up.
There's no way to fail worse. We expect that, and I told them at the
beginning, "Don't worry about starting, don't worry about later on, but
you're going to reach a point where you're going to be beyond that. That
is, failure or weakness is not going to be a possibility at all, and you're
not going to make excuses because all [excuses] do is say that something
has control over you. You have control over you. Get it?" And they get it.
Doc!
LOVE to all,
Alice

A whole lot of this long article is Doc's
first-person accounts of how
S-at-W cane to be. This piece includes so much that I managed to learn
more stuff I hadn't known before--which was great! Includes
contributions from former students too.
