Opinion piece from the NYT on Solidarity
by Nancy Trask 29 Mar '24

29 Mar '24

Dear Friends & Colleagues, Here is an opinion piece, "The One Idea that Could Save American Democracy," by Astra Taylor & Leah Hunt-Hendrix, New York Times, March 21, 2024. Thanks to Paula for turning it into a shareable PDF. I was intrigued by the similarity between the concept of solidarity and our powerful ethic & practice of corporateness. In the search for glimmers of light, Nancy Trask

53RD Anniversary for Judy and Jim today
by James Wiegel 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

I think we're going out for dinner later. I can't help remembering the Academy Awards night earlier this month -- "And the winner is . . . " Judy and I are clearly the winners . . . but remembering those acceptance speeches -- so many to thank -- certainly those of you on this list and many more of this community -- thanks to you -- whether moral support or occasional child care -- also to our families, our children, grandchildren, neighbors the list goes on, but I hear the music coming up in the background . . . just thanks. We are so grateful!! and tomorrow, another year begins. Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.

A REMINDER: FILM/SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTATION: March 21, 2024 Environmental Film: REBELLION
by Ellie Stock 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

JUST A REMINDER: ENVIRONMENTAL FILM AND SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTATION THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 7:00PM CT: TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETMar2024 Dear Friends, Some new information! We are glad to announce that following the viewing of David Suzuki's film REBELLION (44 minutes) and a briefer conversation, Linda Hamilton of Redlands, CA, will be sharing information about her local work in addressing issues of climate change and community building. This will be helpful in grounding the film and catalyzing our thinking about "what to do" in response to facing environmental issues. Below are links to two websites about her work. Ellie Stockelliestock(a)aol.com - Redlands is on its way to becoming climate resilient www.redlandscommunitynews.com/news/redlands-is... Led by Linda Hamilton, a Redlands resident since 1979, Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action is focused on local awareness, education, and action toward creating a more livable future.

To volunteer or for more information about how your neighborhood can be involved, contact ANCA at ancainlandempire(a)gmail.com. I am a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother. MARCH ENVIRONMENTAL FILM: REBELLION YOU ARE INVITED! The March film in the 2024 Environmental Film Series hosted by The Ferguson Eco Team will be David Suzuki's The Nature of Things: REBELLION and will be shown, Thursday, March 21, 7:00 PM Central Time. A unique documentary featuring a one-on-one conversation between David Suzuki and Sir David Attenborough that takes the pulse of our planet and asks whether humans can change their ways in time. REBELLION is a crash-course in every social issue that has frustrated and inspired a new generation of activists. There’s a sense that this was a straightforward assignment going in – 2019 was the year of Greta after all. And much of the film is wrapped around climate change, with focus on Thunberg, nature filmmaker Sir David Attenborough (who has changed his message from awe over the beauty of nature to alarm at its state of peril), and Gail Bradbrook of the Extinction Rebellion movement that has made headlines with dramatic protests around the globe. But 2020 clearly threw a spanner in the works. All of a sudden, a clear theme was muddled by a pandemic and concurrent global racial unrest following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Rebellion works to connect the environment and racial injustice into a single issue. Conversation to follow the film. TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETMar2024 or use QR code below.

Harrison Ownd died yesterday
by Jo Nelson 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

Laura Tsu from Taiwan reposted a message on Facebook from his son. He had a major influence on the design of our transformational conference in Oaxtepec in 1988. I think he first met ICA in Washington, D.C. in 1970-71. I have a fuzzy memory of interviewing him, maybe in his coffeehouse? Jo Nelson From the mobile desk of Jo Nelson

20857.pdf. John Webster's 97th birthday
by Lynda C 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

https://wedgeblade.net/files/archives_assets/20857.pdf A message from Dr. John Webster, retired Purdue professor of journalism, celebrating his 97th birthday at his Episcopal Church in Arkansas brought back memories of encounter with this caring gentleman in my Archives calling, but also through Chicago connections through the years. Noted as one of the scholarly types, I requested that he share his memories with the Archives publications group. It is a long but most interesting read. In my brief reading this morning, I noted names that I’m not sure are on this OE list, so I’ve added them to the list. Of special interest was the name of Campus Minister Rev. Bob Ouradnik, whom we met through the Stovers in Greensboro, NC, about 15 years ago. He wrote a most interesting book something like How to Be Spiritual Without Being Religious. It is also listed in the publications. (A number of authors have consented to have their books or memories available on-line. Take a look or contact Karen Snyder if you would like to be one of those.). Take a moment and send a message to John celebrating this milestone in his life. His e-mail is johnwebster6695(a)att.net<mailto:johnwebster6695@att.net>. With care and celebration of these memories of our history, shared through John Webster. John Cock and I have just returned from a very special trip to visit our son Jeremiah and family in Spain. Lots of catching up to do, but wanted to share this message on John Websters special day. With care for our rich circle of colleagues, Lynda Cock 336-404-0770
