Dear Belinda: Marg will be with a younger man than Ron. It is my
understanding that she is co teaching the Insight course with ex-patriot
yank Phil Yordy. Phil has made a living as a potter at Conestoga Pottery in
Ontario for the past couple of decades. He has lined the banks of the
Conestoga River with well made and handsomely glazed pots. Ron who has
taught Insight to hundreds of people has hand picked these two to carry on
his work and teachings. I think he has chosen exeptionally conscientous
competent potters. These two will give you way more than your monies worth.
I'd say expect a visit from Ronnie. He does check up on his disciples.
cheers,
