In Memoriam: Andy Reynolds

May he rest in peace as he lives on in our memories.

The DEI/Intercultural field lost a giant when Andy Reynolds passed away on February 7, 2021. There are no better words to describe his parting and who he was than those of his beloved wife, Donna Stringer. “My love and life partner of 39 years died this morning after a 14-month valiant battle against blood cancer. He was smart, funny, a master cook and photographer, but mostly he was dedicated to social change for everyone. He taught me so much—about absolute dedication and unconditional love, I will miss his physical presence but will continue consulting him as I carry on our lifes’ work.”

Donna and their sons plan to recognize Andy in memorial event on Zoom March 27, 2021 from 10 - 11 a.m. (Pacific Time). You may join that day with this link: Andy Reynolds Memorial. Per Donna: "Time will only allow 12 speakers who have been selected to represent different times/organizations in Andy's life. There will not be an open mic.  Zoom will be open at 9:50 a.m. so you can enter and leave comments in the Chat room if you wish. You can also view Andy's obituary and leave comments and/or photos at the following site: https://funerals.coop/obituaries/andrew-buchanan-reynolds.html. Thank you again for your heart felt love and kindness to both Andy and me."

SIETAR USA TAKES A STAND ON RACISM

Recognizing that this could be a very long list, we would like to bring into the room, the name of George Floyd. In the strongest possible terms, SIETAR USA:

  • Believes Black Lives Matter
  • Condemns police violence
  • Supports peaceful protest
  • Values authentic and honest dialog
Racial injustice is embedded into U.S. culture and there is no single solution that will take care of everything that needs to be changed and improved. We need to begin by eliminating racism in our own SIETAR USA house. We need to listen to each other—in a learning mode—and be willing to explore ways we can make effective changes. READ MORE
