Remarks on Initiation NOTOCON 2003
|
As Chair of the Speaker Selection Committee for NOTOCON 2003,
I was not supposed to speak myself—it was considered a kind of conflict of interest. The convention organizers, however, ultimately generously went out of their way to invite me to deliver opening remarks and, along with some standard greetings and observations on the presentation selection process, I endeavored to succinctly define my own understanding of the process involved in the theme the event: initiation. Many thanks are due to the organizers for allowing me to do this, notably Soror E and Soror K, and to Frater Mick Taylor for his fine introduction, and to Frater John Crow for the photography.
Delivered in Portland, Oregon, Friday, August 8, 2003 E.V. —T.A.G.
