What a sweet, kind, and perceptive man. When in the Houston house and a fire broke out upstairs, Atis was on EG in a separate room. I ran in to alert him and later he said, "Your voice sounded like there was a fire in a waistbasket, but when you picked up 2 of the 10 kids and ran out, i knew it was something big!" And it was. In my visits to Chicago over the years, he was always a welcoming presence and a joy to converse with. Journey on with all our preceding Blue Shirts. *Sunny Walker * *She/her/hers* *On **Arapaho, Cheyenne, Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), and Očeti Šakówiŋ (Sioux) tribal land* Certified Facilitator (Also Certified ToP Facilitator) ToP Methods Mentor Trainer - Upcoming Courses <https://www.top-training.net/w/> Virtual Facilitation Collaborative Senior Facilitator sunny.sunwalker@gmail.com 303-587-3017 For diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging inquiries: sunny@diversityinnovators.com www.diversityinnovators.com For virtual facilitation inquiries: sunny@virtualfacilitationcollaborative.com www.virtualfacilitationcollaborative.com On Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 3:53 PM Terry Bergdall via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

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,
