<div>>Hi,</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>Reflections on recent postings here. Apologies for the
length.</div>
<div>*********************************</div>
<div>No appologies needed -- it's wonderful. For those of you who don't
know Ralph, I can only say you have met an important part of him in these
reflections. This is the gentleman who showed up at the First
International Symposium on Organization Transformation 18 years ago
sporting a marvelous cape. When asked, he simply said his name was
Merlin. It's only gotten better. </div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>And
by the way, if anybody would like to come to The Eighteenth International
Symposium on Organization Transformation, it will take place in Stowe VT
(USA) June 27 - July 1, 2000. This is where Open Space was born, and the
whole notion of Organization Transformation first broke out. Pretty weird
then. Pretty neat now. The conference fee is obnoxiously large -- $25
(reduced from $30 last year) and living expenses range from minimal to
oppulent -- you choose. For an invitation and details, check my website
(see below).</div>
<br>
<div>Oh yes -- Ralph. On the subject of martinis. I have followed my
lifelong practice of thinking of one more thing not to do. No onions, no
olives, no tooth picks, no vermouth -- just pure essence of Beefeaters.
What I call very fine British white reserve -- a vintage year.</div>
