I would like to thank the Lilly Foundation

[Kari]

First, those whose funding was my first consideration on whether to
attend this function, thank you. Second to the Administrators,
particularly Connie Barclay and Kent Simmonds whose letters, questions
and emails enable me to make the best possible use of the Lilly
Foundation Monies, your diligence in communication is appreciated.

Next I would like to thank those of you spirallin out from the above
points. Some of you I haven't even met yet! I know that you will do
good work, admiting where you are going astray so that I too feel safe
to say, I have been there and will be there again because life is
organic.

Finally, I would liket to thank Kent Simmonds for telling me that I am
a Luther Alum!

My Essay (or at least some well beaded stream of conciousness) will be
posted on my website at:

Thanks To All of You Most Sincerely,
Kari C. Tauring
