Fr Brian Bainbridge

[Harold Shinsato]

I'd only met Fr. Bainbridge last May for the first time at Leadership in 
a Self-Organizing World. I had arrived not knowing anyone, trying to get 
my bearings, and was walking in the back looking at the pool at the 
Sleeping Lady Resort. He was very friendly and kind that day. I had 
hoped to meet him again. I can only feel an echo of the loss that others 
are feeling, but it stings none the less.

Here are two photos I took of him last May, informal, and in a t-shirt.

Here were the notes from that session:

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.

			:- Doug.
