RE: Mausican Legarcy

Dear Errol and other Mausicans,
I do apologise for my absence from the fund raiser. I did not realise that my family had planned a memorial for decease family members, two of whom were Mausicians, Allison Taylor-Mentore and Ingrid Taylor-Murray (Abenkina Ome) at my home for the same day.
Concerning Ovid's suggestion on "Our Legacy", we really need to think carefully about this. What's our Legacy?  Many Mausicans have died already and in time there will be no one left.  How do we really want to be remembered? Whom can we enthrust to continue remembering us.  Can we have a Scholarship Fund? " An exhibit/museum - A House of Mausicans , A book about the Mausican Dream, the Results of the Mausican Experience - Pre Service Training - Did it work etc. What about A Mausican Hall of Fame, A Memorial Stone to Mark the past location of the college outside the original location or on any new structure that replaces the building. It can become a historical site, a tourist attraction.  There are all kinds of possibilities, as deep and wide as any Mausican alive can think.  Perhaps, we can also share our teaching experiences or how has the Mausican Experience shaped our  lives, my career etc. This topic really needs exploring.
Thank you Errol for your hard work and the fund raising committee for a well done Labour of love.
Best regards,
Maureen Taylor-Ryan
