Another OMER gone too soon

It is with deep sadness that Georgia Odyssey of the Mind announces the passing of long time Georgia Odyssey of the Mind supporter, judge, world finals judge, coach, and State Problem Captain Ed Brown. Ed’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and “whatever it takes” attitude for Georgia’s kids will be greatly missed. Georgia Odyssey of the Mind is a better program because of Ed and he will be dearly missed. Thank you Ed for all that you have given so many of us.

The Passing of an Odyssey Legend

Georgia Odyssey lost an extraordinarily creative and caring member yesterday. Jeanne Fessenden coached and mentored countless young lives throughout the state of Georgia for many decades. She had a role in starting the Odyssey of the Mind program in Georgia, served many different positions on the Board of Directors, and eventually became the State Association Director. Jeanne will be deeply missed by the countless OMERs she inspired.

Donations may be made in Jeanne’s memory to Georgia Odyssey’s newly created Fessenden “Pay it Forward” Fund at the request of the family. Inspired by the Fessenden’s drive to provide every student the opportunity to experience the benefits of Odyssey of the Mind, the Fessenden “Pay it Forward” Fund will be utilized for two key purposes team member recognition and under served team support.

Donors to the Fessenden “Pay it Forward” Fund will be listed on the website.

Donations may be mailed to:
