My thoughts and prayers are with you Liza. I enjoyed carpooling and attending peace and justice related events with you and John and hearing his perspectives around so many issues, especially Palestine, but also ranging widely. And, too, there was much to admire in how he walked the talk and lived sustainably, as well. His presence will be sorely missed in the peace and justice movement.
