Honoring our Ancestors

[Adam Blatner]

Well, one way as a preliminary or supplement would be to review the photos on my psychodrama photo directory; send in suggested captions that acknowledge the work they've done. Since I can't read minds and though I try am not able to get all the details, I need lots of help.

       Other things could include:

       Linking the awards winners with their photos on the website and filling in the captions. I fear I've failed to do full justice to many of the people whose photos I've posted, but really it's your and their responsibility to tell me what they'd like to have posted as a caption. 

        I wish I could get 100 - 400 word descriptions of people who have received awards.

For example, in the last 30 years have you nominated anyone for an award? Who and why? Send me a copy of that and I can transfer it to their photo page and make a link. Please don't send me lists of achievements, CVs or more than 400 word condensations. I haven't the years it would take to edit, and I don't think it's my responsibility to do so. 

               The problem with a family tree is that learning is different---one might have 5 or 10 influences and not just 2. So that complexifies things significantly. I am picturing a giant spectrogram with numbers of trainers--- zero at one end (self-taught)... or one trainer... and at the other end, maybe 10 or more training sources. ... and how folks would bunch and where. 

            Another problem with ancestors is that many of them were active for 2 -10 years and then disappeared or have walled themselves off from the community. What does this mean?   Might there also be a spectrum of degrees of commitment by "ancestors" ? 

  Warmly, Adam

  It is with great sadness but even more, with great appreciation, that we begin to recognize the passing on of many of our psychodramatic parents and grandparents and also our brothers and sisters. At the conference, Katrena Hart and I were talking about the idea of posting on our website some sort of family tree. Bill Coleman began one as part of his master's project, probably over ten years ago. I am wondering if there is any one excited enough by this to take on creating a family tree, with photos.I would be glad to help.
    There are several family tree programs online which would make it easy.
