What shocking and sad news! I first met Ralph in connection with
Future Search and OT many years ago. He encouraged me, along with
my friend and colleague Terry Swango, to attend an early Open Space
gathering on OST...I can't remember if the moniker "OSONOS" had been
coined yet. That is where I first met many of you on this list. I
had the privilege of working with Ralph a couple of
times...including on my most memorable application of OST in a
client system. Barbara Bunker, Ralph and I were conducting
simultaneous OS meetings in two locations several states apart. At
that time the best technology we had for posting the work of groups
in one location in real time for those in the other location was fax
machines!! <br>
<br>
As others have already said better than I, Ralph was someone who
made a real and positive difference in the world in many ways with
his many gifts. Those of us blessed to have known him and his
spirit will miss his physical presence and carry his spirit with us
in our lives. I will be keeping Ralph and his family in my thoughts
and prayers.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">My good friend, buddy and colleague of many
years, Ralph Copleman died last night. Karen Davis, Ralph and
I were to do a program in New York next week. The program will
go on and Ralph will be there as that indomitable, humorous
Spirit he has always been. Ralph showed up here on the list as
a regular from the very beginning. I will remember him best
for his soliloquy, “Everything is Moving, Everything is
moving.” A very simple phrase which goes to the heart of it
all, I think.<o:p></o:p></p>
