As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the features of life at the center is the coming and going of a variety of interesting guests. Some stay for a day or two, some for weeks at a time. When I arrived, Dr. Gerda Whittman was in her second week of a three week stay, her second annual visit. Dr. Whittman is a Holistic physician from a small village in Germany, who has become something of a surrogate Mom, gleefully cooking for, training with, and generally watching and fussing over the The Boys. Her ministrations include holistic assessments and acupuncture treatments, which she graciously offers to all, even though it means letting her day job follow her into her vacation (or holiday, as the Europeans call it.) So it was a sad day when Mom had to depart back back to her home and practice.
Bye Mom. We miss you. Hope you can come back again. And again and again and again.
