and improving of relationships with the College.22

IN LUMINE

I n sitting down to write this, I realizethat it has been five years since I wrotemy first Warden’s Word. Like me, you

may find that surprising. The time has flownpast, but what an interesting time it hasbeen! We have seen many exciting newdevelopments at St John’s College; we havewelcomed wonderful new fellows, staffmembers and students; we have seenmembers of our community retire or leaveto pursue other opportunities; and we havemourned the passing of colleagues andfriends. In short, we have experienced allthe richness of our close-knit scholarlycommunity.

St John’s College has continued to be acommunity known for the quality andproductivity of it scholars. Over the past fiveyears, we have seen Fellows, students andalumni receive major recognition andawards. Just this year Dr Mary Kinnearwas made a Fellow of the Royal Societyof Canada and Dr Alice Cheatley wasinducted into the Order of Canada. SarahKreindler ‘99 is currently studying atOxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. We arestarting the second year of an excitingpartnership with the Faculty of Arts and theUniversity of Manitoba in funding aCanadian Studies Coordinator facultyposition that is held at St John’s College,and are already seeing many positivedevelopments arising out of this initiative.

The last five years have seen manyoutstanding academic conferences beingorganized at the College: two international“Prairies” conferences and a conference onthe work of theologian Richard Hooker arejust a few.

The Faculty of Theology has hosted foursuccessful Summer Institutes of Theologyand has also seen its newly established

Institute for Anglican Ministry take up itsrole of providing lay theological education.Although the IAM is targeted largely at theDiocese of Rupert’s Land, we have seendemand for its programs from neighbouringdioceses and from the United States.

Through the generosity of our supporters, wehave seen the amount of scholarship supportpaid annually to college students almostdouble in the last five years. We have alsoseen the launch of our $2 million capitalcampaign, with $700 thousand in donationsand pledges having been received to date. Ihave had the opportunity to meet hundredsof Johnians in over a dozen cities in Canada.

The physical environment at St John’sCollege has had significant changes over thepast five years, most notably with the airconditioning of our offices and classroomslast summer. We also have our beautifulnew patio, picture windows and exteriordoor in the café.

And we are all five years older. As you cansee from the picture in this issue, mydaughter Madeleine has grown from a grade5 student in 1997 to a young woman aboutto enter high school. Her older brother,Brian, (above), is now a dad and yes, thatmeans that I am now a grandmother!

I have very much enjoyed the past fiveyears and I look forward to continuing towork with the St John’s College communityto build on our many successes.

O ur condolences go to Maryel Andison ’68 of Winnipeg and former husband Rod MacKenzieon the death of their son Rod in Winnipeg on June 15, 2002. Maryel gave this tribute at the

xxxxxxxinterment and we asked her permission to print it as a lovely reminder to all of us:

RODERICK ANDREW MACKENZIEDear Rod:

In this life, the utmost joy for a woman is to give birth to a child. The greatest sorrow is the death of a child.

The birth of a child changes our lives dramatically. The death of a child changes usirrevocably.

As parents, we have a responsibility to teach our children as they grow up. Rodtaught me just how much more I had to learn.

While I supplied a roof over his head, he helped me make it into a home, a place ofwelcome, comfort and refuge.

Whereas I put food on the table, he taught me to savour every bite and enjoy thecompany around the table.

While I paid for clothing, he taught me about style and individuality.

While I helped him to learn how to read and ride a bike, he taught me to listen, tocheer and above all, to laugh.

While I taught him manners and deportment, he taught me about composure and charm.

I encouraged him to speak out; he taught me how to use tact and diplomacy.

As much as children need a parent’s protection, Rod taught me how to let go.

Yes, I am, as all of us, are irrevocably changed by Rod’s untimely death.

However, all of us are much better people for having shared the past 26 years with thisintelligent, charming and vibrant young man.

Rod, you are our favourite son and brother. Your family adores you and your indomitablespirit will remain with us forever.

I brought you into this world and I loved you. Now, it is time for me to say farewell.

With all my love

MOM

“The April edition arrived recently, and asalways, I looked for familiar names orfaces. On page 12, the [hockey] photoincludes my brother, wrongly identified asCS Park. He was Charles A Park, butwould have been known as Beau and also“Moon” in his St John’s Days. His father,the Ven Archdeacon Robert E Park, wasalso a Johnian (DD ’50), as were Beau’sbrothers, Bob ’48 and John ‘38, as well asmyself and my late sister Anne Lawson.As you may know, Ian Park [head ofCollege Food Services] is Bob’s son, so the connection continues.
