was active in metaphysical pursuits all his life and was an avid supporter of
many metaphysical organizations including MUFON and the New Hope Metaphysical
Society. Wayne was a musician and composer early in life, playing several instruments

field when he died.
Wayne Hardy had many
psychic gifts as well and studied channeling at Mind Matters in Washington's
Crossing, Pa. in the mid 70's and developed into a very capable trance medium

including 'Jordan', 'The Pleiadians' and 'Charles', an 18 th century country
Englishman. He was also a very accurate psychic and, as "Keith Wayne", gave phone readings all over the world
for many people. An avid proponent for holistic health, he studied various
healing modalities and technologies including nutrition, energy medicine and hands on healing
with Dr. John Ray. Wayne was like a brother to his friends and will be missed by many, especially
by his long time friend and colleague, NHMS co-director, Amy Bortner-Gialuco.
George Katz
January 3, 1937 to November 5, 2005
George Katz died on Nov. 5, 2005. He was 68 years old. George was an enthusiastic supporter of metaphysics and belonged to many organizations, including The Life Center in Lambertville, NJ. , the Ascordia Center of Light in Phila. Pa. and the New Hope Metaphysical Society. He was a very capable teacher and offered many classes at the Life Center, specializing in hands on healing and understanding the energy systems of the body. He also sponsored a healing and meditation circle at the Life Center and Pebble Hill Church for many years. Well known for his gruff exterior and dry wit, he was a solid fixture at many a group and often offered a grounded perspective and vast reserve of ancient and esoteric knowledge to those who enquired. Quite fascinated with ancient Egyptian history and metaphysics, he aptly represented the priestly lineage of those ancient times in is wisdom and erudition. A helping spirit to all in need, he will be greatly missed by many!
Edward C. Hager
July 1929 - January 2005
Ed Hager passed away in January, 2005 after a prolonged bout with cancer. He was 75 years old. Ed was a speaker with the New Hope Metaphysical Society for many years and had been scheduled to speak at an NHMS special event this Spring. He was a wonderful man, warm, sincere and gracious. He had two lives, one as an "everyman", a construction builder and family man and the other as a masterful metaphysical teacher, healer and channel. He channeled the "Teachers" for many years, holding classes and sessions in his home in York, Pa. He was also a "Walk-In", an advanced soul who entered Ed's life in his early fifties. Ed Hager was written about in Ruth Montgomery's book, "Threshold To Tomorrow" and had been very active with the metaphysical organization "W.E." (Walk-Ins for Evolution). Ed was 'larger than life', a big man with a generous heart and loving nature and will be greatly missed by all of us!
Ed Hager had many talents, one of which was writing. He wrote many articles and poems. His poetry can be found on the web at the website "Celebration of Oneness" .
Here is one of Ed's beautiful poems....
Thoughts
Around us are people. Those we know either casually or well, individually or collectively
And you and I are alone.
In this crowd, our eyes meet And speak with thoughts that are private And to us our own.
And you and I own these thoughts To be spent like silver coins Of a child in a candy shop One by one Thoughtfully and with hope That the prize collected Will be better than the last
For when we do speak aloud, Our words are hollow With platitudes And everyday things
That echo from the crowds
Share these thoughts with me For with them come feelings
That someday We will do their bidding,
Together-Edward C. Hager

Susan Elizabeth Steele
9/11/1950 - 12/16/2004
Suzanna Steele suddenly passed away on Thursday, December 16th, 2004. She had just attended the New Hope Metaphysical Society's monthly meeting the day before and had just completed her Musical Tribute CD to "911". Those who were at the meeting had the privilege of being the first to hear her c.d. during the opening of the meeting. And, as always, Suzanna had actively participated in the meeting's activities, lending her music, warmth and sparkle to the evening's program. Suzanna will be remembered by all of us at the New Hope Metaphysical Society as a wise, witty and warmhearted individual who was a second mother and spiritual sister to many friends and family members.
Suzanna had a great heart but also a powerful mind and an astonishing array of talents. Having earned an M.A. in Sociology and a Ph.D. in History, she taught history at several Ivy league colleges for many years. Additionally, she was an early developer of artificial intelligence software programming for banks and other leading Fortune 1000 companies, including IBM, AT&T, and American Express and headed up her own company in the field of computer programming software.
Having been born with great psychic ability, she, later, developed into a master intuitive, having the ability to hear, see, and communicate with any one, in any dimension, on the other side. She was also a great healer, having studied and trained in Reiki, crystal healing and I.E.T. (Integrated Energy Therapy) She was also a born counselor, lending her ear or heart to all who required her assistance.
And finally, and most poignantly, she had a beautiful, operatic voice which she often expressed at public and private gatherings. Before her passing, she completed a musical tribute to all the brave human and spiritual beings who participated in the event of "911" as well as a poem about Christmas that is eerily prophetic! A great, loving human being who touched and supported many, many hearts and inspired many, many minds, she will truly be missed by all of us!
