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.

"Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead
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
