hey, peeps.

i mean to start a study group here in Seattle based upon the Theosophical teachings of my great uncle Harry van Gelder. i've only made one phone call so far along the way on this path, but that's a beginning. many of us around here used to attend his summer workshops at Camp Indralaya on Orcas Island each year and would look forward eagerly to everything from the sublime experiences of the powers of Nature which he would bring to us to the gruff way he would deal with certain types of questions. i miss my dear great uncle Harry. i didn't get to spend nearly so much time with him as i would have liked, nor i fancy than we both would have liked, knowing that we certainly had a true mutual fondness. it will certainly be a pleasure to do the work of pulling together another group (there was an earlier one around here) based upon his working principles.
