OASIS Member News

The Odyssey staff and the OASIS board are saddened to note the passing of member Ed Manderfield.

We had last heard news on him from Mrs. Manderfield, who sent regrets that Ed was unable to attend last year’s private tour of JPL due to illness. Membership director Robert Gounley discovered the obituary in the Los Angeles Times archives (6/11/2004). Ed died on June 4, 2004. We have missed his exuberant presence at board meetings.

Update on Donna Shirley

Last month, Robert Gounley shared news on Donna Shirley, a long-time friend of OASIS. This month, we received this note from the Child Educational Center at JPL:

Thank you so very much for the generous donation made by OASIS on behalf of Donna’s recovery. As you are probably aware, her recovery has been quite rapid and miraculous—she continues to blaze a trail and light the way for the rest of us. We have notified Donna of your donation. With love and gratitude, Elyssa Nelson, Executive Director
