Matt, Peggy, Charlie {Lovell}, (All),
So good to see you, and my condolences again on the passing of your father, Jim Lovell. What a wonderful service in the Cuttyhunk Union Methodist Church.
Per our conversation in the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club, Matt, here are some musical resources regarding trumpet recording if you'd like to explore further -
My first experimental Scottish small pipes' album, "Honey in the Bag" - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/
Am appreciative of the Band Camp platform.
And here's what I began with - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html.

Dear Betsy, and John,
thanks for your email, and for reaching out too, Betsy. My mother may know Liz Perkins, but I don't recall her from when I sang in the 1st Pgh UU choir there in 2006-2007 (during when my father had a brain injury). Having also sung in the UU Choir in Palo Alto about 4 years ago, I only knew of one person from the 1st UU Church of Pgh there. Ma, Betsy sends a warm hello to you and Liz Perkins at the 1st UU Pittsburgh :-)
Since John and I have both visited Harbin some, Harbin Hot Springs, my Actual-Virtual ethnographic & STEM field site, became a first church, first in 1975 (HCC, and not affiliated with any others) after you would have been there, John, (and a 2nd church which ordains ministers in 1996, NACOB), but it may have been a bit of a hippy tax dodge as a church in CA, in my interpretation, too. Any recollections of HCC from your role at the Record-Bee in Lakeport? Soaking in the warm pool, however, there (some call it a sanctuary) is wondrous - and has parallels too with un-programmed Quaker Friends' Meeting regarding (what I'll call as a de facto relaxation response) meditation, deeply communal, connecting, cleansing, and releasing ... and informs aspects of my ethnographic interpretation of Harbin's alternative cultures or discourses. Hoping to facilitate this virtually in a realistic virtual Harbin even.
John, David Thurston, with whom I've visited Harbin (about 10 yrs ago, and who also visited me in Canyon CA 94516, from which I've recently moved into 'safe house') says he's in communication with your brother Bill, fellow Wesleyanite, in DC, he just wrote ... (And I hope CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, of which I'm sure he head, will also emerge from CC-3 Yale OpenYaleCourses - oyc.yale.edu/ - and per WUaS Monthly Business Meeting process, eg - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/yellow-billed-stork.html?m=0). Please let UUs and contacts know of these online free-to-students' PhD and 4yr Bachelor degree opportunities, Betsy and John (emerging from MIT OCW's ~2400 courses first in English.
Betsy, the MacLeod's Piney's house and garden are gradually growing in beauty this year, :) after the autumn, winter & spring past. Cuttyhunk's beauty comes into conversation with this process :)
Friendly regards, Scott
PS
Can't go up to the Harbin pool area here yet, but you can Visit the Harbin Gatehouse in Google Street View here, and 'walk' down the road a spell,l too, and also walk around Middletown ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~)
PPS
John, are you somehow in communication with the Lake County Record-Bee or Harbin people today ? Could the Record-Bee possibly help even grow a #RealisticVirtualHarbin for history, and journalism, and for visiting virtually too!
Here again are some related #Hashtags Harbin regards -
https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1401252415051997185?s=19 - and a picture from about just before it burned down recently. Was this anything like what you recall when you visited there in the 1980s?
Warm regards, Scott

Hi John,
Thanks for the info. Harbin is fascinating socio-culturally as an alternative countercultural place in my interpretation - "hippy to the hot springs" is part of my book's ethnographic thesis - in that founder Ishvara / Bob Hartley gets the property in 1972, and significantly informs its culture possibly by outlasting everyone else there, and he's still around I think.
In what ways could we all create the "Harbin experience" virtually (with Google Street View with time slider & AI) - and for even STEM brain research of enjoyment, bliss and meditation, as brainwave headsets' chip technologies develop? And in so many ways ... Via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy a new social theory and method - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ?
Great to be in communication 🙂 and thanks.

Ma,
Saw David off on the boat at 3, in a downpour just now ... Matt Lovell and Liz School his wife and Robin Wilder were all there, and almost no one else, except for the people who jumped off the gas dock in the high waves and wind ... I think David helped to create a have a good July on Cuttyhunk for me - "Enjoy the month here" - :) somehow ... Good to have heard back from John Tabor too, that he was the publisher of a small newspaper near Harbin from 1981-1986 and went to Harbin some :)
Appreciating these aspects of Harbin
"meditation, deeply communal, connecting, cleansing, and releasing" (only in some ways, since it's commune or communality is pretty dysfunctional) ... Search on the 'communal' word here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/07/roseate-tern.html?m=0 - for a bit further context ... But am even wondering how to create these good aspects in a virtual Harbin visitable from home ...
Sorry David had to go ... And glad to be on beautiful Cuttyhunk :)
Love,
Scott

Hi Charles (Field),
Great to talk on the road near Cuttyhunk's 4 corners ... Here below are the 3 WUaS legal entities, and this one - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - is an authorized reseller of Lego Robotics' 3 kits, but only in the US.
Planning to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Pin # or similar, brainstorming-wise and for a variety of reasons in
200 Nation States - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States
and 7,139 + Languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages
Collaboration potential? What are some web sites of the project you're working on? Are you or your company on Twitter?
Warm regards, Scott
PS
Sailing wiki subject (school) for open teaching and learning -

Charles,
I see we connected in 2012 here -
https://www.linkedin.com/in/fieldcharles/ - and that these are your main web sites -
https://schoolfamilymedia.com/
https://www.teacherlists.com/
https://www.ptotoday.com/
Would you like to become the CEO of the WUaS Corporation ahead?
Here are the Agenda items for the WUaS Corporation - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/yellow-billed-stork.html (at bottom) - for the 6/19/21 Monthly Business Meeting.
With Google's opening of their first NYC retail store recently, WUaS seeks to build out in WUaS GDocs for an academic press with machine translation into all 7,129 languages for books printed to paper, and into our physical-digital, actual-virtual bookstores, computer stores, robotics' stores, and hospital technologies' distribution centers in each of 200 countries and all languages ... in what ways could this dovetail with your company's focus on parents getting books and supplies for their children, I wonder?
Best regards,
Scott
