Our revered friend Edwin Shinn was a towering figure in the world of 
Human Development. With his passing away an era of has gone.

His passionate and firey intensity of purpose, dedication and 
compassion inspired every on around him.

We met Ed and Mimi in Chicago at the Institute of Cultural affairs 
and later worked together in the village of Maliwada in India during 
the Human Development Project days and co- facilitated a number of 
training programmes in India and Ft Collins.

Ed and Mimi came to the Human Development Training School in India 
where Ed inspired hundreds of youth with his unending vitality and 
zest for life.

We are eternally  grateful to Ed for introducing us to Village Earth.

He has left indelible foot prints around the world.

May his Creator  rest his soul in peace and give Mimi and children to 
bear this huge loss.

We echo the attached age old wisdom while saluting the great soul of Ed.

Vinod and Kamala

Dear Friends of Ed Shinn,

I write this with a heavy heart with news that Ed Shinn passed away 
this Friday. Mark Shinn, his son, contacted me today with this news 
and I have given him all your contact information so he might send 
you a notice about the funeral. As you might expect, he said Mimi is 
pretty shook'n up by this loss. It's a sad day for Village Earth as 
Ed was a huge influence on the organization and everyone who had the 
privilege of knowing him.

Village Earth will be posting as a memorial our website as soon as we 
receive more information from his children.

Dave
