> I am moved from my preoccupations with the struggling economy of a small New England town, with high taxes and relatively high unemployment, to write an inadequate response to the most impressive person you have ever met and the most intense day you have ever spent. Given that you have “met” Mike Gearen, Ruth Fletcher, Art Bowen, Liz Foster, Bobby Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln and myself, I had to pay attention to Pauline Duncan. And what impressed me about your account of Pauline is how seldom either you or she talked about HER. She seems to walk softly yet leave a substantial footprint.
> I was also very impressed by the extent to which your account of that day described what happened to others as compared to what happened to you, though your emotion was very much in evidence. You mentioned the “Puns” patches as potential links of your experience in Nyandazulu and your other life in Hawaii. Have you thought of any other links? Are there projects that you, like Yunus, will be undertaking to maintain those links? One of the things that always impressed me about Yunus was his ability to truly be in two places at once. No mere voyeur he.
