[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] David Zahrt

[Elizabeth Engleman]

Although Vance Engleman and I likely met up with the Zahrts in Nairobi (1985), I was pleased to be a part of the hospitality team providing support to the Great March for Climate Action as they traversed Pennsylvania in  October, 2014. 
Most of my photos were on a computer which was subsequently stolen. 
I recall David with his recumbent bike was a permanent part of food truck set-up. I am pleased to have had the opportunity in Sewickley, PA to provide washer/dryer, hot shower, comfortable sofa-bed (not an oxymoron) while those in tents on a sports field endured a heavy frost.
Perhaps decades of ICA experience prepared him for that journey which contributed to ultimate shut down of a heavy air polluting source, Shenanigan Coke Plant, Ben Avon, PA. 
I celebrate the Journey of David Zahrt!

I first met David in 1970, lived and worked with him in Nairobi during the 80s, and most recently was inspired by his participation in a coast-to-coast march to highlight the urgency of climate change in 2015. When the marchers arrived in Chicago in September, their route went through the heart of Fifth City on Jackson Boulevard as they proceeded to the GreenRise Building in Uptown where the 50 or so marchers had dinner and spent the night. As David rode his bike past the Iron Man statue on Jackson, a group of Fifth Citizens and ICA "veterans" stopped with him to take a photo (see attached). David, of course, is the man at the left with a white beard. It's one of my favorite memories with David.
