THE REUNION WAS GREAT. - dc

This event is now full to overflowing but one could still get on the waiting list - nope, now (1-08-06)there's not even a waiting list.

Here's the SFZC Sangha-e page for the latest on the reunion including schedules and lists of who has RSVP'd they'll come and they won't. Let me know if you have any questions: Contact DC.

ZC had no idea how many people would respond.  This reunion covers too many years. It should have covered fewer years, maybe just been just the sixties and seventies. Ilene Oba who's in charge of it is doing an heroic job and needs volunteers. She's even been given other tasks while she's trying to keep up with the demands of this event. I was getting paid a bit to help but that's been cut off (retroactively for December as well - just a budget thing). I've had to return to standing out in the street at an intersection with a cardboard sign [veteran of anti-war demos will archive for crumbs).

But please don't feel left out if you've missed out this time and feel free to contact me to express yourself, correct entries, add people to it, inform me of a death, and let me know if you were around in the Shunryu Suzuki days, even just passing by, because I'd like to hear what you remember of Suzuki or back then, if only some tiny comment, if only to say you remember nothing at all. Maybe we should have an alumni group for the Suzuki era folks. Nah - that's too exclusive. But cuke keeps building a sort of alumni list of people who were around in the Suzuki period - not only at Tassajara but in SF, Berkeley, etc. and we include those who weren't as well and also those who never heard of Suzuki or even planet earth and also non existent beings in the ten directions.

Thanks, DC
