As it turned out when I wished someone well for their grown son&#8217;s birthday, that parent was caught offguard thinking it was &#8216;tomorrow.&#8217; So that&#8217;s another reason to think out loud&#8230;to help someone else keep track of special occassions if not just the day and date!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">There was a nice write up last year in Rolling Stone about Folk-Legacy going to the Smithsonian Folkways. I intend to review that more carefully and listen to more Folk-Legacy recordings on youtube.com, Why not?\u00a0\u00a0Maybe more younger kids can learn their folk music and help keep a good thing glowing. For a sampling just see our late teen Kaelan (Palmer) Paton&#8217;s Memorial tribute on youtube.com which now that I think of it might make a nice edition to the Smithsonian Collection of related materials, along with the services held for his grandparents,\u00a0 (Charles Alexander) Sandy and Caroline Paton, the founders of Folk-Legacy Records, Inc.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">On a lighter note,\u00a0I call this 5\/10 date &#8216;World 60 year old day&#8221; which comes on the heels of those folks ages 51-59 on the dates from 5\/1-5\/9&#8230; then in June it&#8217;d be 61 year old day on 6\/1.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We can include those who &#8216;would have been those ages as well&#8217; as part of the ways to acknowledge who was born when and how they are part of an ongoing legacy&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"yiv5873969666ydpf5e16e70yahoo-style-wrap\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">I like to picture some brave souls from the past as 15 years older being\u00a0more silver-haired and taking one adventure after another&#8230;maybe they&#8217;d be a counselors helping people &#8216;face their fears&#8217; via skydiving, riding motorcycles (with safety in mind)\u00a0or thereabouts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Not everyone is &#8216;into that idea&#8217; whether as an outreach, wider recognition or thinking of those who have journeyed on in particular ways (I know I was not familiar or really that interested in trying to consider such things before I had more people &#8216;pass away&#8217; then got more curious having read a lot of theories from around the world, traditions and more&#8230;)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">So &#8216;whatever works&#8217; for someone is fine&#8230;&#8217;take it or leave it or thereabouts&#8230;&#8217; Meanwhile Ralph Nader has a whole outreach along these lines, maybe tied into when people graduated from high school&#8230;but that leaves a lotta folks out of the loop.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">I basically would have a way to acknowledge people born in each year (and Maybe that&#8217;s more of what Ralph does too. I&#8217;ll have to see.) The point of that effort is to think about being part of HumaniTeam&#8230;and now does seem to be the time such ideas can help more people join forces on many fronts&#8230;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Take care, and on with the mid May adventures&#8230; With love and easy does it&#8230;,Catherin<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excerpts from a letter I shared with some folks around Mother&#8217;s Day, May 10th, 2020 which took me a minute to get the date clear on and then count up days accordingly in the week.
