-------------- "Keep In Touch" --------------

A Very Happy Maytime to all KITfolk and KIT friends! We received many favorableresponses to last month's Double Issue, especially to John Stewart'sAutobiographical

arrative. It seems to have helped many KITfolk understand how the Bruderhofpatterns of ten, twenty, thirty years ago continue on in the present time. On page 9 weinclude the registration form for the Sixth Friendly Crossways KIT weeks, July 28-31.Please return the form as soon as possible with your deposit. Even if you are not

coming, your scholarship contribution will help someone else attend.ALSO, our expenses for the April Double Issue almost reached $1,000 dollars.

This, along with Children of the Hutterian Brethren's new 800 number and some otherXRoads Fund expenses, has drained our bank account. Please, if you have notcontributed recently, send in a donation. We need your help in order to keep KITcoming every month to your mailbox. THOSE OF YOU WHO NEVER HAVEPAID FOR RECEIVING KIT AND CAN AFFORD EVEN A SMALLDONATION, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO! We volunteer our time, but youmust help with our production costs. CORRECTION: The correct name of theauthor of the short story 'Daniel' that appeared last month is Susanna Alves Levy. Weregret the error.

----- The Whole Kit And Caboodle -----

KIT: We were saddened to hear of the death of Vera Lindsay, dear friend to many.Ursula Boller Lacy writes of Vera: "I was impressed with her courage in fighting thecancer, again and again saying 'I am going to fight this.' My special memory of her isfrom our time in London together in the early 50's before she went to Primavera. I wasvery keen to get materials for the hospital, so we went around to firms begging for the

hospital for about three days. It was great getting to know someone in a differentsetting. She always seemed to be very kind and I especially remember her smile."
