Gordon Randall Kehler

I worked on Randy´s campaign for State office in the mid `70´s...his vision inspired my first foray in politics... I knocked on a lot of doors for his campaign in Sunderland Massachusetts!!!

When I was a young man I met Randy at The Woodman Hill farm school. I wasn't much older than the students and not much younger than Randy. For a while he was my cabin shed neighbor living in his own room just 15 feet away. There were times we spent together playing guitar or reading that are some of my fondest memories I've ever spent with another human being. One evening he lead myself and my friend on an overnight drive to pick up American civil rights activist Wally Nelson, whom was being...

You asked for my opinion

one day when supporters

prepared for dark responses

for flashing lights and fears

we walked along the road

where it would happen

your home before a siege

I don't know what I offered

The Beloved Community is grieving and holding all the Kehler/Corners in the light today. Godspeed Randy.

You have had a life well lived. May a flight of angels sing thee to thy rest. A fellow traveler along the Peace Trail. Genevieve

We all occasionally need help sustaining our resolve on so many of life's challenges and Randy and Betsy beside him, have modeled and led for so many of us. Whether for the issues Randy and Betsy championed or others less heady and encompassing, I and we...

I remember the night we all gathered at Westover Air Force Base to protest the Gulf War. It was a bone chilling cold January 15, 1991 and it was my birthday. To celebrate I stood with the peacemakers on the outer rim of the group. Randy had laid his body down on the frigid ground. I remember we were all concerned about the impact on his health. He was amazing and held his ground through the whole protest. He was the most gentle person, with deep caring for everyone, he didn't appear to see...
