grouptalk story spring-summer06

[Adam Blatner]

Hi Elaine, if you've been away doing psychodrama, teaching, going international, please 
report to us. About grouptalk:

   About 3 months ago, ASGPP decided not to pay for the cost of an internet server that 
maintains grouptalk, our listserve. Some thought it wasn't part of ASGPP's job. (I think 
this was extremely shortsighted and counter-productive of them, but that's another issue). 
As a result, Tom had to withdraw grouptalk from the ASGPP sponsorship and now it's not 
even mentioned as an option on the ASGPP website (unless it's changed in the last few 
days). Alas.
      Rather than giving up, with our encouragement, Tom has generously donated further 
time in setting up a separate website and server and re-started grouptalk apart from the 
ASGPP, bless his heart. It costs about $20 per month or so and a number of us agreed to 
send in some money to help defray these costs. There are over a hundred people signed up, 
and a fair number are from other countries, but about a score of folks sent in something.

       You need not send more at this point, or you can correspond with Tom and find out 
what he needs.

   Hey, did you know that Jim Sacks just moved to Chicago? He's trying to get settled in, 
still hardly able to use email. Will be living at a residential community with his wife, 
Ulrike. When he's ready, I'll try to help him make contact with you and Lorelei, etc. I 
have a fantasy of there being some kind of psychodrama community gathering including David 
Kipper, Linnea Carlson-Sabelli, and others.

     Warmly, Adam
