======== MEMORIAL DAY FOR PEACE ==============================================
Please join us on Monday, May 27 for our Memorial Day for Peace on Boston
Harbor.
We have a wonderful program planned: We will remember our friend and partner
in peace Charley Richardson, with remarks by Bonnie Gorman and Nancy Lessin.
We will have a remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagaski with David Rothauser,
Producer of the film /Hibakusha: Our Life to Live/, and Kazue Cambell, a
Hiroshima survivor. Sev Bruyn will speak about the Dangers of another
nuclear catastrophe and Cole Harrison (Mass Peace Action) will speak about
America after Hegemony. Webb Nichols will share his writing, "Common
Thoughts on Our Common Humanity. A member from the Iraqi community will
speak (TBD) and then we will have our Flower Ceremony. Rev. Lara Hoke and
Rev. Ralph Galen will say the beginning and ending words. Brian Quirk will
play the bag-pipes and Jesse Perrier will end the program by playing taps.
Please join us and please pass the word to others to also join us. Thank you,
