Our sympathies to Asya Berger and her son Jonathan on the loss of the great Ted Berger who died on January 29, 2026. A tribute will appear in our Spring newsletter by his neighbors KC Rice and Peter Frishauf who tell of Ted and Asya's optimism and commitment to social justice, the arts and culture. "Ted operated on a large stage that helped shape the arts world of our city, state, country, and internationally. Locally, he gave just as much —always with his signature smile, abundant hair, and red-framed glasses. Ted worked hard for this block association."
They gave a gift to neighbors on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this organization in the form of a wonderful trip down memory lane: a talk recalling the earliest block parties and sense of community these created. You can catch that talk here.
