Cohousing-L Mailing List: remembrances of Laird Schaub for Communities magazine

[Chris Roth - Communities Editor (editor]

Hello,

As some of you know, /Communities/ magazine has been planning a 
compilation of remembrances of Laird Schaub as part of our Summer 2025 
issue, to follow up on an initial tribute article and my own 
remembrances which appear in the newly-published Spring issue (see 
https://www.gen-us.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/206_Issue_pg.08.pdf 
and 
https://www.gen-us.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/206_Issue_pg.09-11.pdf). 
However, I learned today that this project, which I thought was nearing 
completion, had not started, and that its initial organizer is unable to 
do it. Therefore I'm sending out this last-minute appeal to several sets 
of recipients.

If you'd like to write a remembrance, probably in the range of 100-400 
words, adding to and complementing the material that we've already 
published, we'd welcome your submission. If you are moved to write 
something longer, there may be space for a few people to do that--and on 
the other end of the spectrum, something as short as a haiku could fit 
well too. We may not be able to include everything we receive, and may 
also need to edit down what you write--but I would clear any edits with you.

If you are able and inspired to write something, can you send me your 
remembrance by *February 25*? (Again, we'll be able to accommodate a few 
late entries as well, but would like to assemble the main body as soon 
as possible.)

We are looking for personal experiences and examples of how Laird 
affected your and others' lives--the more specific and personal, the 
better. Representative anecdotes will generally be more useful than 
broad characterizations. Again, we don't need to hear from everybody 
(and do have limited space), but if you have something you'd like to 
share, please share it! And if others in your circles would like to send 
something, we'd welcome that too.

Sorry for this short time window...it wasn't planned that way.

Thank you and hope to hear back from some of you!

Chris
