This year, on his 63rd birthday, E.J. announced that for the evening he would give a talk on "The Way of Perfect Service."

It began with dinner and opening presents in the dining room. The room overflowed and the standing guests were so crowded that the group spilled into the hallway trying to get a glimpse of the festivities. We then adjourned to the music studio to preview the first recordings of E.J. playing his new Gemeinhardt flute, a gift he wished to honor.

Next, the group moved back to the house to set up chairs in the mood of anticipation about the talk to come. E.J. Asked for Jewel, who was in the kitchen preparing to serve the cake, to come and ask her birthday question. She explained that her everyday life was very busy and she wished for something more . . . to put her efforts toward being of meaningful sevice. Michele's birthday question was essentially the same. Both questions inevitably and quite naturally made a segue into the subject of perfect service.

E.J. reportedly emphasized that perfect service is about endless, selfless dedication to doing what needs to be done without regard for the relative importance of the task. When asked about what is meaningful, he talked about right action, giving stories to elucidate examples of being in the right place at the right time with the right attitude.

Your Archive Talk may have sounds of a restaurant, city traffic or clinking of dishes at an invocational dinner, and many talks have questions and comments from students or audience members.
