Thoughts from Robert Kingham (section lifted, with permission, from email to Rick)

 

 

 

I feel as if I've come back through the looking glass

 

The general level of apprehension early in the evening was so extraordinary. I think we all wondered whether we would have anything to say to one another. Did we have anything that linked us other than a youthful experience? It seems we did. We do. It was very wonderful to be able to reconnect with a part of my life which I thought was lost forever. And I realize the pain of thinking I'd lost it was what had distanced me so from my past life for so long. I don't think I was the only one to feel like this. Somehow since Saturday it is ok. One life consists of so many bits. This week I understand better it is ok to have baggage, and even better to have friends. And to be proud of both. What you, Michele, Jeff and Leo have done is a wonderful thing. Thankyou is inadequate.
