How proactive you were initiating moments and printing press literature and much etc for peace. So fun to see this part of your life. Your writing was engaging and you made light of yourself midst the serious effort and sacrifices.

Thank you, Claudia. And thanks for reading. I'm having to come up with 30 posts during November, so it has been a challenge. This longer piece lends itself to being chopped into several different posts.
