Perhaps it is significant that she died on July 4 (note the article's
mention of duty to country)...this was presumed of Madison & Jefferson's
deaths on July 4, 1826. I met her once in passing I think, definitely
saw her in person. I enjoyed her speech (2002 convention I think). Was
she an honorary brother?
I wish we had kept in touch with children of other such significant
figures in our fraternity's history. I'm glad that we can easily find
further descendants of her dad, sort of like the place of honor given to
descendants at historic/commemorative celebrations. I was thinking
today how it appears to me that her dad embodied the values &
involvement to which I aspire. I suggested today to a dual brother
(Philippines & USA) that APO dialog with American Humanics (an
organization founded by her dad) given the prominent organizations
connected to APO formally & informally with which it has worked and for
which it has trained leaders. However, I question the practicality of
APO working with American Humanics as well as (especially for me) the
ability of our brothers to reach the involvement and ultravalue
expression of such giants as Br. Nowotny and Br. H. Roe Bartle. I hope
that I am wrong and that I and other brothers can reach those levels of
impact to further the spirit of such community-devoted giants and those
who strove to emulate it..
