actually a very positive one in those early years.

I didn’t want this to fall off the page without comment because I just couldn’t agree
more.  I lived on Sewell Ave in the big old boarding home turned into an ashram with 25 great souls in there.  And it was
just one of the best years of my life. 
The people in the community would come nightly and sit in our grand
foyer and about 100 a night were there for satsang.  And we bonded.  As community.  And we would
travel.  All around the Metro area.  Boxford for the Carsons (silent “r”); the
North Shore, South Shore.  We had a great
used furniture store in Cambridge.  We
all supported it all.  All the community
sportsman played sports with the prisoners along with us in the World Welfare Association days of propagation.  My housemates were all famous premies.  It was just awesome.  Loved it.  We all took care of each other, the premies in Boston, regardless of status, mental abilities, whatever.  Really great experience.  Thanks Shereelove
