Dear Bob Brockwell (Class of '56), and mainoffice@olneyfriends.org,

Friendly greetings! Very nice to meet you Bob at Olney Friends' School (since 1837) on Saturday December 27, 2025 (as I was passing through from Pittsburgh, PA, where I first started to attend Quaker Meeting in around 1975 or 1976, and in returning to the SF Bay Area near Berkeley), near the Stillwater Friends Meetinghouse. (I was a student at Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation in 1987-1988, and worked in the Pendle Hill bookstore / Publishing house for about 2.5 years following this - where I know Lloyd Guindon from - before returning to the SF Bay Area to study Yoga at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of SF, where I completed a 2 year state of California teaching certificate in a year; I also have a Bachelor's degree from Reed College in Portland OR, in Religion (and German), a Master's Degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a DR from the University of Edinburgh).

And glad to share with you too about Friendly-informed wiki (for people-to-people idea sharing) World University and School, like Wikipedia in 342 languages, and building upon MIT OpenCourseWare in ~7 languages. While WUaS isn't yet accredited yet for free online WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school/ similar, AA / AS and Master's degrees are planned, and in all 200 countries and in 7159 living languages if helpful - I hope free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric World University and School - in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program - will be of help to Olney Friends' School, and students, and re college counselors, and for all Friends' Schools, eg from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects and see too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends).

More later, and will add you to the open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting emailings ...

Friendly regards,

Scott

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, Greetings from Olney Friends' School, a Quaker Boarding School in rural Barnesville Ohio, - https://www.olneyfriends.org/ - and the Stillwater Friends' Meeting House on the same property ... I saw signs for Barnesville as I drove west on I 70 from Pittsburgh, and while I'd heard of Olney Friends' School, I've never been here ... nice to visit ... Just met Bob Brockwell, possibly in his 60s or 70s, an old Quaker, who drove up to the Meetinghouse, and stopped to talk ... He had gone to Olney Friends' School ... Thanks so much for your kind hospitality, Ma, and wonderful to see you and visit ... I could conceivably think of inviting my hypothetical kids to go to this International Friends' Boarding School here ...Onward west ... Fond Friendly NtF Quaker regards, warmly, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Quakers)
