<div dir="ltr">We first met David and sometimes Lin in Schenectady, New York in the late 60's and early 70's. He would come over from the Regional House in Rochester and address our lives, gently and thoughtfully helping to turn our RSI's into a lifetime commitment. When our son Dave spent his year abroad in Kenya we were grateful that the Zahrts helped make his time in the villages safe and meaningful. The family homestead wayside inn they ran in Iowa hosted us on several occasions and we hosted David in Michigan City, Indiana on his last cross country pilgrimage with the Climate Change March. The Presbyterian Church that we attended hosted many marchers and have continued to be active in Climate Change Awareness and Action. <div>David has been a sign of commitment and possibility in our lives. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort and blessings as they remember his amazing life.<div>Grace and Peace, Judy Lindblad</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 1, 2020 at 4:09 PM Lynda C via Dialogue <<a href="mailto:dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net">dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

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. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
