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.
