Abstract

AL THOUGH I HAD MET Dr. J. L. Moreno and Zerka a year and a half before, my initial visit to Beacon for 2 weeks of training in 1962 was really the beginning of a 12-year acquaintanceship, friendship, and studentship with Dr. Moreno, and the beginning of what has become a dedication and commitment to philosophy, theories, and methods that he originated. I have not been the same since that first visit-and for that, I am grateful.
