From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the entry for: Foundation for Intentional Community, section: Organizational History

Delete first paragraph. FIC did not start in Ann Arbor. Error is copied from S. Gurvis' book, "... Flower Children ..." Gurvis' writing is misleading on her p. 107. Error: "the modern "co-op" was established in 1937 in Ann Arbor." Sure, "a" modern co-op started there, yet modern co-ops did not start there. Same error: "the International Cooperative Council (ICC), forerunner of the FIC." 1st, should be "Inter-Cooperative Council." 2nd, ICC had nothing to do with the FIC. This is misleading sentence structure on the part of Sandra Gurvis. I will delete that first paragraph when I get through with corrections for the rest of the FIC Wikipedia entry.
