My Last Goodbye to Agnes Baron

I had an experience with Agnes Baron once that gave me a great sense of validation. Evidently, I needed it. It happened just after visiting her for the very last time.

Keeping Agnes Company While Others Cleanup After the Fire

I once traveled to Meher Mount for a work party after the fire. It was pouring rain.

I parked my rent-a-car near the work site. Agnes Baron [then caretaker of Meher Mount] jumped into the car.

The fire at Ojai happened on Monday, October 14, 1985. I attempted to call Agnes Baron on that day to no avail. Then, I heard the news from friends that Meher Mount had indeed been destroyed.

The following weekend, I flew down to Los Angeles and drove to Ojai to visit Agnes personally and make sure that she was well. I met her in town at the house of a friend of hers [George S. Stuart] who had taken her in after her devastation. Agnes appeared quite composed and peaceful.
