Remembering Justin Through Stories and Generosity
Feedback About Remembering Justin
“Thanks for sharing all the recent experiences about Justin. I loved it. I can feel the conversation. Talk about really listening… I loved hearing Judy Hendricks mention something “off the cuff” about Justin. And I overheard Carmen Brocklehurst tell a “Justin story” while in the restroom at conference. Both examples were in and of themselves “no big deal,” however, they were way cool since I’ve had such limited experiences with him. It would be so great to keep hearing about him through stories from others who lived with him and knew him so intimately.” – April Leffler,
Prospect Park, Pennsylvania
The Vital Force would like to run a Justin Remembrance page as long as people share stories.

“I love the picture of Justin in the resting pose – the one with five of him in varying shades of whitish to blackish – in the last issue of The Vital Force. Is that a poster? I would love a copy. Makes me warm all over.” – Terry Jennings, Honolulu, Hawaii
If “enough” subscribers are interested (please drop me an email at tcc@kimgrant.com), we can make it happen.
Matching Funds
As you consider your year-end charitable contributions, please inquire whether your employer offers matching funds. It’s an easy way to double your tax-deductible gift with “the-effort-of-no-effort.” The Vital Force, and the adjunct taichichih.org, is a 501(c)3.
Your Generous Contributions Put To Good Use
There were multiple, overwhelming and spontaneous acts of generosity at the Portland conference and beyond its borders. One teacher donated funds to reprint 10,000 copies of the popular T’ai Chi Chih promotional postcard. Another teacher donated funds to add new pages to taichichih.org – for dedicated pages for forthcoming conferences (taichichih.org/conference_2013/) and for presentations given at the prior year’s conference (see taichichih.org/conference-2012/). A request on facebook.com/taichichih raised funds to begin archiving (and posting) 25 years worth of back issues of The Vital Force. (See taichichih.org/vital-force-archives/)
