Fr Brian Bainbridge

[doug]

Hi all--

Fr. Brian was such a steady, friendly presence in an comfortable old
shoe way. When I was at OSonOS by the Sea, he invited me to take a ride
around the area and see some of the land and towns nearby. He was quiet
and soft spoken and full of wonder at what he saw. The last morning I
had breakfast with Brian and with Larry and Becky Peterson. Brian and
Larry together brought a relaxed long view to the quandaries of our day.
I will miss his voice on the list, and in person.
