"I hope Peter didn't go. I just caught up belatedly with this blog thread and appreciated his heartfelt post very much. I understood (I think) his purpose, or need to communicate his perspective on time spent in The Way. Sorry to bring this thread…"
"Come on down Kevin. The water is fine, and you better bring Shannon and you better bring that harmonica. Vickie!!! It would be so good and exciting to see you again. I toast your backyard also."
"Sure but only if you bring your wife Shannon, my Corps sister. Then I know for sure we will have a lot of laughter. Plus she will keep you from gettin too wild on Music Row where all them bars are. "
"God bless us, God bless us everyone!!!....and a good time will be had by everyone."
"John, thanks! It will all work out. I am about to go out into my just-rained-on (finally!) back yard and have a preliminary reunion toast in your honor. And Peter's. As for being a complex being, wow - if you weren't, after some of the - let's say…"
"I try.....really I do. But I also fuxxx up on a regular basis. People are complex beings. Me included.
Vickie, I wish I was on Music Row right now having a few cold ones this fine Easter Sunday. I will start thinking this through with Mr. Bailey…"

"Peter, you're a sweetie. I remember you gently explaining to me, years ago, why you charged people at HQ for the wedding cakes you made for them. You felt badly about not donating everything, including your time. Your heart for the brides was…"
"No prob Peter. You are not being censured or singled out...the whole site is. You have crossed no lines that bother me or I might have asked you to close this discussion or delete it. No need to depart due to those circumstances. I and others see…"
"Rhys - Thank you. I am thankful.
John - It's your site and you get to set the parameters. Thanks for all the work put into setting up and maintaining the site. I regret if my words sound bitter. I have moved passed that point long ago. I have not…"

"Peter,
God bless you.
I agree with Kevin and Shannon's assessment of you. Even more so, I agree with our Father's. Your concern reminds me of what Paul had to live with, having pulled believers out of bed and murdering them. Jesus Christ dealt with…"

""It still kills me to have spent many years at HQ"
Peter, I can understand how you feel. But dang it you shouldn't have spent so many years there. You should have just left. I am sorry you didn't. I am sure it is easier said than to have done it.…"

"Peter, thanks for this thoughtful post. I don't remember ever before reading a single page that so concisely summed up the loss without rancour."

I would have to say that your note to me today is the best unnecessary apology I have ever received 20+ years after the offense!
= )
I am a bit shocked that a Corps coordinator once called you a faggot. I thought you just had nice sweaters.
And I love your thoughtful answer: She wasn't full of shit, she was just wrong. That's an extremely kind way of saying she WAS full of shit.
As I intimated a month and a half ago (what do you, visit this site every six weeks, like me?), I remember you as a kind overlord under severe pressure from far more overbearing taskmasters. That's probably not a bad description of most of the good people on this site.
You've aged well, judging from your picture. I would room with you any day, faggot label notwithstanding. (But could I borrow one of your sweaters?)
You'll be happy to know I no longer hang wet towels in my closet next to my clothes. Wet towels, I have learned in my emancipation from The Way, dry out just fine if you hang them on towel racks.
Towel racks are horizontal metal bars provided free in bathrooms in all American homes and apartments (though they were unknown in the dorms of Emporia in the 1980s).
Thanks, Peter, for reminding me that my problems today are pretty petty, whereas in 1983 I didn't even know where to hang a wet towel without getting in trouble!
Cheers,
Karl
We have 2 at UGA. Erin is a senior majoring in Spanish (she transfered from James Madison in VA last year) and Cait is a sophomore majoring in Public Relations and Sociology. We have not yet plastered everything we own with the super "G" or named a pet UGA, but we do love that Hope Scholarship!
What a small world, indeed!
Take care,
Robin
We are outside of Atlanta.

Give my love and regards to you wonderful wife and my WOW sister, Jean. I'll send you an email.

In fact, funny story: I remember a dorm inspection once in Owens Hall, and I seem to recall that you were the inspector. There was a rule against hanging towels on the rails of our beds, so I hung mine on a hanger in my closet.
You (forgive me if it was someone else) were going through our closet when you came upon one of my towels, and you exclaimed, "This towel is WET! Hanging right up against your clothes!"
I said, "Well, we were told not to hang them on the rails of our beds, so I don't know where else I can hang a wet towel to dry."
I seem to recall that you were going to ask our overlords for more spiritual guidance on that one, since it was kind of a Catch-22: You can't hang your towel in the open to let it dry, but you can't hang wet towels in your closet.
I do remember that you weren't a jerk about it, you saw the conflict and were going to try to find a solution.
Does that ring the faintest bell with you?
Anyway, glad you're well. You might be interested in reading my book -- there's a preview at www.ex-way.com. Since you were in some of the same places at me at the same times, you might find it a happy stroll down memory lane.
Cheers,
Karl
P.S. My name back then was spelled Carl Collar. I was the third-youngest man in the 14th Corps, but I think I was the first most zealous!
