Dear Jon, I did not know either your Mother or Father personally and only occasionally bumped into them, yet have a "feel" for their lives through stories. Tonight, when looking at portraits painted by Paul Noah, as he is going through his painting archives, there were portraits of both your Mother and Father. They give a pictorial "voice" to the experiences people have shared on the listserv. Blessings to you and your family as you honor your Dad's completed life.

How exciting to hear about the generous contribution in honor of Marge's 85th birthday. Marge will be a great steward of the gift. Beret Griffith On Sun, Jun 9, 2013 at 9:14 PM, Terry Bergdall wrote: Marge's 85th birthday party was held today at 4750 with many people in attendance. A donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent a contribution to ICA-USA for $8,500 (eight thousand five hundred dollars) with some specific instructions. To celebrate her eighty-fifth year, Marge is to designate portions of this $8,500 contribution, in amounts as she sees fit, to the seven major current program areas at ICA-USA. These are: - GreenRise Uptown for creating a green culture within the largest nonprofit service center in the Midwest; - Resilient Communities via the “Accelerate 77” program in Chicago neighborhoods; - Service Learning for leadership development with university students; - Learning Basket for early childhood education and family literacy; - International Initiatives in support of “peer-to-peer” work with other national ICAs; - Global Archives for preserving and passing-on ICA wisdom to future generations; - Technology of Participation (ToP).

Re: [Oe List ...] Georgianna McBurney

Milan and Linda, It is so good you can be with Georgiana. I've kept up with her, through you, for many years. She has been one of my "guiding" women over the years. I first met her at an early Guardian's Meetings. She along with other women in the group at that time gave me a way to see how it might be possible to be a part of this crazy group. I worked with her in the Town Meeting Post at Operations Centrum and as a part of the LENS crew. In addition to getting our "job" done keeping on track with TM work, we had plenty of time for coffee and conversation. I remember her telling of being on the El, at a late stage of pregnancy, during a crash and how she made it through in good shape. And Georgiana and George! What a pair. I laugh to myself remembering their high sprits.

Three parades 'fore the 11th of June.
by Jaime R Vergara 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

Three marched with great valor to life's terminus and we all felt the tag of grief in our being as the intimations of our own mortality chimed in. Georgianna McBurney, Barbara Alerding, and Tony Elizondo clearly added to who I am, so to lift their presence is to honor the breath of life they imparted that is still my privilege to breathe. The fourth great orchestra of care is still very much in our midst, and we all have stories to tell of Marge Philbrook when we encountered her; we all cheer for her for the great work she continues to perform for all of us in the archives. In the same manner as Georgianna, Barbara, and Tony, the Marge of my acquaintance is indelibly marked in my being as well. Grand parades for which the tip of the finger solemnly and respectfully hit the brow! j'aime la vie Yesterday, appreciate; tomorrow, anticipate; today, participate. In all, Celebrate!

Georgianna McBurney

Linda and I just got word from Georgianna's 24 hour nurse that the Hospice nurse just told her that Georgianna might be near the end of her journey. We are leaving now for Santa Monica to be with her and we believe her daughter Jana is also arranging to come tonight. We will try to let you know any time we have anything to report. The outpouring of responses and good wishes and stories about Georgianna have been heartwarming. We will try to read them to her if we have the chance.
