Platforms About Relationships

Relationship Building, 9 July 2017, Mary Bauer Smith, WES Member.
Notes: The culture of WES during the 80's and 90's was heavily influenced by courses taught in the adult education program. These courses provided techniques for members to build relationships with others. Relationships between life partners were a focus, of course, but the techniques could be used in WES community life as well as in professional life. Mary Bauer Smith was one of the leading teachers of Relationship Building and she presented this short summary in a 2017 retrospective platform.

Remembrance Day, 26 October 2003, Don Montagna, WES Leader.
Notes: We return to this topic every year: the people who are gone from our lives live on within us. We owe a debt to the people who set examples and taught us important lessons. Each of us has a unique pantheon of people whose memory informs our life. Don shares stories from his personal path.   
Technical: Ends abruptly - obviously a minute or two are missing at the end.
