Wed, 2009/06/10 - 7:31pm — Benjamin MelançonHere's a story Dad told a couple times that it doesn't seem I have written down.
Working at, managing, the Community Playthings workshop for the Macedonia Cooperative Community – the intentional community in Georgia, he would call it.
Dad described how they made very good quality wooden educational toys. In particular he talked about wooden stove and refrigerator type sets.

Fri, 2009/06/05 - 4:57am — Benjamin MelançonPoetry by my father, sent by his first wife and daughter. Typed on paper with a Southeastern Cooperative League, Clarksville, Ga. letterhead (and footer reading Affiliated with Cooperative League of USA).
I love you with
the words, the
silence makes,
and for the dream
your searching
eyes imply.
I love you while
my unsure path
requires a deeper
knowledge
A greater love.

Thank you.
