Dear Judy,
Thank you for the lovely invitation to attend the Legacy Luncheon. I will be there
in spirit but physically it is a bit far from Adelaide, Australia.
I am thinking about how to respond to your request for autographed copies of Brian Stanfield's books (for the Archives). I don't have any autographed copies. ICA Canada may have some in their archives. I could send ICA-USA copies of Brian's signature but am not sure that is really what you want. Let me know what you would like me to do in this regard.
My greeting to all those present at the Living Legacy Event is this- a Signal Presence
quote from Brian's Courage to Lead Journal. It speaks to me at this time and
I hope it speaks to all of you as you begin to forge the next chapter of ICA-USA.
For me this quote speaks to the appropriate amount of detachment in the midst of
working on serious issues.
"Since everything in life is but an experience,
perfect in being what it is; having nothing to do with good or bad,
acceptance or rejection; one may well burst out in laughter. “
Long Chen Pa, a 14th Century Tibetan Master
With warm regards,
Jeanette

Dear Jon, Maureen, John and Jeanette,
As Authors of EI/ICA related books you are invited to attend the Legacy Luncheon on October 6, 2007. Since your mail will take a while to reach you, I am sending a copy of the invitation by e-mail. Authors are also being asked to consider sending an autographed copy of your book(s) to the ICA-USA office library that will become part of the Global Archives collection when that space is developed. If there are copies of your book(s) in the Chicago sales system, you might simply send a sheet that can be inserted in the book to save postage.
Congratulations on your achievements. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago one of these days,
Sincerely, Judy Lindblad for the ICA-USA Board and Living Legacy Planning Team
