A letter from the Editor


Dear Friends:
We are sending many thanks to all those who made the Green Mountain College Academy/Om Art Workshop a successful event. Kerry Wevurski, Marketing Director for Stratton Mountain Resort, as well as all their personnel could not have been a more accommodating facility. The weather was glorious and despite the heat, we all kept cool in the air-conditioned space of the Lift Line Lodge. Congratulations to the art students for producing such beautiful results. Please join us next year! God Bless. OM
