WEWER KOEHANE (f/k/a Dee Wewer '65)


Dreams and art are windows to the soul, allowing us entry into the true nature of Self.
Artful Dreaming
A Primer for Finding Inspiration from Your Dreams
by Wewer Keohane, Ph.D.

Artful Dreaming is a primer for self growth and creativity through dream work. You will learn how to remember, record, honor and create from your dreams in the visual and literary arts, grow into an authentic person and artist through dream work, and learn individual and group processes which will enhance your life and your creativity. The book is straightforward and easy to understand. The author’s goal is for people to be able to work with dreams without professional help and for therapists who have not had dream training to learn how to help their clients with their dreams and to encourage creativity.

coming soon to http://www.amazon.com/

Wouldn’t you like to know what those wild and wacky dreams of yours meant?
Or, better still, would you like to create art, write stories and poetry from those
dreams? Wewer Keohane has just the book for you: Artful Dreaming: A Primer for Finding Inspiration from Your Dreams. On May 1, at First Friday, Wewer will be next door at The Artists’ Collective for the first book signing of her newly released book.

Wewer has been a Carbondalian (Carbondale, Colorado) for over 28 years and has been creating art and helping others find inspiration from their dreams those many years. Come and support her new venture and find some inspiration for yourself as well.

GLORIA AND NO. 6





Here is a picture of me and my new Granddaughter, Aggie. I picked up my shirt in Vail a few years ago and I found a shirt for Aggie to match on my most recent trip.


KAREN and GLORIA'S TRIP TO COLORADO - March 2009

Karen Poor Peck and I flew out to Colorado to visit with Janet Francis Murillo. We had a blast (can I still say that after 60?). We stayed 3 nights in Vail and drove to Leadville, Aspen and Colorado Springs. Pictures of those visits follow this section. Here are a few pictures of me and the girls.

TERRY SMILJANICH '65




I flew out to Florida to surprise my daughter on her 40th Birthday. Allison now lives in Hawthorne, Florida which is just 20 miles away from Gainesville or so. Guess who built a retirement house in Hawthorne? Terry Smiljanich and his wife, Dorothy. I called Terry and Dorothy and they met me at PJ's Cafe (one of the two or three cafe's serving breakfast in Hawthorne.) It's a really small town. We got to catch up for about an hour. Thank you for meeting me and buying breakfast ...

PHIL MOSELEY '64 - UPDATE 3/15/2009




Everything is fine with us. We just got back from a day in Baltimore checking out a possible wedding site for our recently engaged daughter Kendall. It's amazing how far in advance those places are booked. While she and her fiance are both docs at Johns Hopkins and have lots of friends there, we're also still looking at locations in northern Virginia. I don't actually get a vote. I'm assured that hey will, however, allow me to write the checks.

We're still splitting our time between Alexlandria, VA and Southport, N.C., but Norah and I get tugged in opposite directions all too often. Her best golf buddies and other friends are in the D.C. area while I prefer the waters around Cape Fear to fulfill my love for the ocean and offshore fishing. As a result, it's not unusual for us to be apart a week or two a month. Seperate but equal retirements are not exactly what either of us signed up for 34 years ago. I've spent so much time on the water over the past ten years that I just completed my Coast Guard certification to be a licensed captain. I have no intention of hiring myself out as a charter fishing captain or to do other things that require the license. It's simply something I wanted to do to make me better at my hobby and a safer skipper for my guests aboard our boat , the "Yellow Rose." The wives of some of my regular crew members appreciate it. I guess their husbands are still worth more to them alive than dead.

Our son Clay graduated from UNC Wilmington last summer and started a new business with a partner. Unfortunately, the economy went into its nose dive a couple of weeks later and they had to shut it down. He's now in the D.C. area interviewing in a tough market. Clay will do well once he gets his start, but he's going through a rough patch like so many others are these days. Happily he's got parents who still enjoy his company and are glad to have him around the house while he continues his search. I rather like having a chauffeur and workout buddy while I'm home in Virginia, but I do miss having him with me as part of the crew when I'm sixty miles out in the Atlantic chasing tuna and other creatures.

I've been spending less time on the computer lately and haven't kept up as I should with your blog. I promise to do better. What you are doing becomes more important to all of us as we get a little older. If you're still in Colorado, please say "hi" for me to whoever you're staying with at the moment. You should have barged in on Jim Dieterich up in Denver while you were at it. Also please give my best to Danny. We enjoyed meeting him when you joined us for dinner back in the '90s with Linda (formerly Molleston).

All the best . . .

Phil

NOTE FROM GLORIA: We didn't get around to getting to Denver so Mike Hunt, Jimmy Dieterich and whoever else lives up there - we'll just have to catch you the next time!!!

JEFF ANDERSON '63 and JACKIE DARLING ANDERSON '64

Karen Poor Peck '64 and I went to Woodland Park, Colorado to visit Janet Francis Murillo '64 last week (3/7 to 3/14). We had a blast and I'll of course be posting the pictures but I thought you'd enjoy seeing a few specific ones of the people we saw in various parts of Colorado.....

Jeff and Jackie met us for dinner at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. The following pictures were taken there during cocktails and dinner. The two girls sitting with Ray (Janet's husband) and Jeff were just two random girls sitting nearby - Shari and Krissa. I have no clue where they were from or what their email addresses are. As you can tell, we all acted like we were 17 again!


4 YOU!

MY DAD - BILL CAMPBELL


I found this picture of my dad taken while we lived on BB Street on Base (probably about 1965). Our neighbors named him Commander of BB Street because he would cut everyone front yards and basically was the neighborhood watch.... Note, bike, lawnmower, edger, ice water and sunglasses - he's ready for anything...

JANET WATKINS JENDRON - BOD President of API


Friday, March 06, 2009: Attachment Parenting International Announces a New President of the Board of Directors:

API is now fortunate to look to leadership from a long-time friend, supporter and API Board member - Janet Jendron. After consideration for nomination by the Board nominating committee, and careful contemplation by Janet, she was elected Board president unanimously by the Board. We are excited to have her guidance and leadership into the next era of support to families and the AP community. Janet brings not only her passion for attachment parenting and API, but also many years of experience and gifts in nonprofit management and fundraising. Barbara Nicholson is thrilled and confident in the Board's choice: "Janet is a long time champion of mothers, fathers and babies and brings so much dedication and commitment to the organization." She served for eleven years on the LLLI Board of Directors and many years on the LLLI Alumnae Association Council. Janet has also served on numerous other non-profit Boards, including church-related and wish granting organizations. Read more about Attachment Parenting International at www.attachmentparenting.org Here's excerpts from Janet's Welcome Letter: The decision to have children is to make an investment of love. As parents, we need to surround ourselves with environments and people who encourage us without judgment. As an organization, Attachment Parenting International (API) embodies this attitude of acceptance and love. I deeply appreciate the inclusive approach that API brings to the world of parents, as well as the common-sense approach to our everyday lives. I love the way that API combines clinical research to anchor the heart decisions we make every single day, regardless of our children's ages or stages.With this passion for API, I am absolutely thrilled to accept the position of Chair of the Board of Directors of API. Very recently, my mother and my mother in law both passed away unexpectedly. They were both bottle-feeding mothers, and watched my early decision to breastfeed, let the babies into our bed, and so forth. They embraced our choice of attachment parenting with practical, emotional and spiritual passion. They were my mothering soul mates. They profoundly influenced my desire to embrace all the parents I've encountered through the years, with a premise that we all want the best for our children. I'm excited about re-focusing my efforts to support parents worldwide, and about the work we have ahead of us. I'm grateful for the many years of experience I've been given in the non-profit arena, with the hope and prayer that I can use that experience to help API grow in exciting new directions.Parent-to-parent support is critical to changing our world. As my four children and four-year-old granddaughter have grown, I've loved supporting other parents in similar situations, whether it was at church, at work, in the neighborhood, on the soccer field or at the dance studio. I've learned the importance of giving grace to each other, while still focusing on our common goals, and always being open to learning from each other.One of the LLL Founders said "We need to focus on helping the mother breastfeed, and then let the baby teach the mother." My children have certainly taught me my critical lessons in life, especially about the importance of humility! As an organization, API is full of men and women with incredible talent, expertise, humility, balance and passion. I'm excited to move forward with all of you.-- Janet Jendron
