[Oe List ...] Fifth City pioneers: the final list

[Margaret Helen Aiseayew]

Well, another value revealed.  The Boivens died on the march.

The summer of the vision quest we requested Iris be one of those that join the staff from the west (they were in LA at that time I think).  She sometimes left the late evening staff meetings for bed when they went on too long.  She died in November and it was at her funeral I learned she had taken off each day of the program for Weiss hospital and gotten a blood transfusion over lunch.

  Yes, Margaret, Edgar Chandler and Michael Borge bought houses in Fifth City (& Borge is interviewed in 'The Bold Community'), but after the riots, they packed up and left.

  Hilliard tells the story of how somebody recognized Chandler on the street during the rioting and got him out of there.

    Please don't go back to dead only.  It seems to me that would really make a mess of the guardians list.

    Did any family other than Iris and Gene Boiven buy a house in Fifth City and move their whole family there?  Wherever he was, Gene started his day with a walk around the five stakes of the project.  We are all connected and I thrive on this connectedness, but Iris and Gene seemed to have a (different to me) genetic link.  I would like to see them on the Fifth City list.  Their presence on the list would also make a statement about values and possibility in human development that we held dear even when we could not manifest them.  These would include both family and universality.

      Wouldn't Martin and Betty Pesek go on the list?

          In the movemental honor category, I thought of Audrey Ayres, who for years worked on writing funding grants for the 5th City Preschool and for the Reformulation Corporation, and Jan and Bud Ames, who worked so hard on getting the Infant School licensed.  The list could go on and on.  Since we probably would never get a complete list, maybe this dialogue is one way we remember the expenditure of so many who made that project possible.   Lynda Cock
