<p class="MsoNormal">Speaking of books, as I was looking up the title on the Archive Publications page:
<a href="https://icaglobalarchives.org/resources/">https://icaglobalarchives.org/resources/</a>,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was reminded that the Archives does not have a copy of Donna Marie’s book,
<u>What More Can We Ask For? </u> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please check your books to see if you have a copy that you would donate to the Archives.

<p class="MsoNormal">During our intern year in 1969, John and I were privileged to be assigned to George and Rose’s Apt. at one of the outbuildings on Trumbull after they
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">were sent on some overseas assignment. We felt so “rich” because it meant that we had a separate room for Johnny, instead of the bunkbed
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">room in the main building. But more important was their loft bed with a desk underneath, with a poster of Picasso’s Blue Man on the wall.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We felt “set up” for the mission. George and Rose played a big part in settling us into the idea of staying on longer than we had initially planned.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some years (around 1977), John was assigned to the set-up phase of the Cano Negro HDP in Venezuela and was able to share that story with George.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He recalls the same laid-back style that we knew in Chicago was a powerful tool in enabling the participation of local people from that village.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He was a master community builder. Read about his experiences as Dean of the Urban Academy in the Archives, under the Spirit Movement Collection.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We give thanks for this exemplary life of service to the world.
