Sarah Rachel Morgan Dickins
The Marriage of . . . .

Married to Prasannavira in November, 2006.
I was made aware that their child, Rhea Chandra Grace, was due on December 6th., 2006: in fact the baby was born at 0605hrs on December 1st., successfully, and with Sarah's mother, Diana, present.
The Celebration
, August 4th., 2007, with photographs of the ceilidh, square dance, hop, or whatever it was and a number concerning Buddhism.

Here is Sarah in December 2005:

Here is the father, Prasannavira: Tai Chi, London


It must be said that even though my father told me that Sarah had told him about Prasannavira, on earlier occasions, over the phone when I had not been home, he had not subsequently informed me. He was assuming, it may be, that Sarah had emailed me about it all. Not so. Therefore, this was all a total surprise. In fact, she had never told me about her friend in any detail, which, sadly, is a reflection on the fact that the greater part of her life has been spent distanced by at least the Atlantic Ocean from me. Mea culpa.

I had a chance, but never took it, to bring Sarah to Canada when she was quite young, and was having difficulties with her father-in-law, the doctor who should have known better. There are instances, that I have been made aware of, of his cruelty to her that even now make me exceedingly angry. Tempus bleeding fugit.

I found, through the web search tool that nearly everyone uses, that there is, amongst other references, a web site on Shiatsu Therapy that produces a picture of Sarah's beau. If it's not, it's his evil twin.
This is the site: Body of Health, Shiatsu. If it's not there, here is the photo of him taken from that page:

At the time of the birth Sarah is 35, around three years younger than Michelle (my second wife) was when she bore Katharine, my youngest daughter. Currently, Prasannavira is 40, roughly a decade younger than I was at that time.

The following is taken from a site about the surname Linney. It clearly indicates that my research is accurate. I do know now that his father, deceased, was born in the same year as mine. So, as Sarah mentioned, his father was a lot older than his mother at the time of their marriage. But, working at simple maths, not as large a difference as exists between M A Henry and myself.

      Comments: :
  I am the son (born 1965) of Edward Stacey Linney (born 1919), West Bridgford, Nottingham.


I do hope they maintain what I couldn't. Here are my daughters from 1996:

And, here they are, with me, in 2004 in Ottawa:


Katharine is currently almost 5ft 4in (Imperial Rules), and elegant: she reads somewhat slowly, and I can't
tell if she can spell any better than Sarah. The latter takes after her mother, who as a teacher was still
a lamentable scribe. So bloody what? I can be permitted my crankiness, peut-être.


Above is Sarah at the War Memorial, Elgin Street, Ottawa 2004.
