I have following the correspondence on this item, and of course am only to happy to contribute to the project, however you may also wish to include Paul Palmer without whose administrative and financial skills, it would have been unlikely I would have been able to realise the plan to turn Phoenix House into a national organisation. He made a really significant contribution.

It was good to catch up with some of you guys in Vaxjo ……Anthony, Rowdy, Eric, Dirk et al …It’s always great to see old friends looking so well in spite of the passing of the years! Good also to meet many new friends and to see evidence of the continuing growth and health of the TC movement in Europe . Many thanks to all those of you who worked so hard to make the Symposium such a success.
Those of you who have listened to Anthony’s interview with me on Radio TC International will know that I’ve got an exciting new role with Phoenix Futures in the UK . One of the tasks is to put together a living history of Phoenix House. I’m trying to put it together in the context of external factors ( changing govt policies etc ) along with key events, dates and persons involved. (a bit of who? what? why? when?) I’ve got access to a lot of stuff from the 80’s and 90’s but although I was there then, the 70’s is the period lost in the mists of time. I’ve got some interview transcripts that Rowdy did with Griff Edwards and David T which is a great start but there may be key bits of information and other stuff knocking about that some of you can let me have. I’m thinking David T, Anthony, Dave Warren Holland, Peter, and others, even Deny Huson,
might be able to fill in some of the missing background.
I look forward to hearing from you all soon….
Regards
Bob
