Dear Friends,
Thanks so very much for your words of affirmation and congratulations to Ron (and some to me...Jean!!) in acknowledgment of Ron’s selection as the recipient of the Boston Theological Institute’s 2013 Humanitarian Award.

It has added exponentially to our joy as we experienced your presence ‘with us’ in this time of celebration.
