What? Oh dear. Very sad news.
Ed rather saved my sanity the first summer in Hai Ou. While he and others had Hepatitis,  I was trying to carry on.
 When I was a kid near Seattle, we had Latvian refugee neighbors. Ed and I bonded over that connection.
He will be missed

Oh, no! It’s sad to hear this.

I originally met him in 1970/71 when he visited the DC House. His name was really Atis Feldmanis, and he had Latvian heritage — maybe was born there. In 1970 I remember he was very careful not to tell strangers he was Latvian. I think this was from his family’s fear after WW2.

Recently he told me his mother pronounced it “Atti”, and he really appreciated it when I called him Atis.

This morning, Sunday, December 28, Ed Feldmanis passed at his home in the GreenRise Intentional Community, Chicago. Ed was a long-time OE and ICA staff member, a communitarian at GreenRise, and, more recently, a dedicated volunteer with the ICA Archives program. He also was a strongly committed member of an active, and long-standing, men’s group in the greater Chicago area.

Grace and Peace,

Terry Bergdall
