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:

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.
Name: : John Linney
Email: : prasannavira@yahoo.co.uk
Where from: : Nottingham, England
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.
