Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: In Loving Memory of Laird :: 🕯️☮️ ❤️ 🙏

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

Our community of communities has lost a great teacher.

Laird taught me more about navigating the turbulent waters of community 
dynamics than anyone else.

Thank you Laird for your generosity and wisdom.
