SYLVIA R. GILMAN

So wonderful to see people committed to Sylvia's legacy. My wife and I are friends with her brother Jon and have about 7 boxes of archived material including sketches by her. We intend to frame some and sell them to interested buyers. We would be glad to have part of the proceeds go to a memorial in her name.

Perhaps someday a bronze plaque at the Pacifist Memorial will be erected in honor of Sylvia and her extraordinary commitment to peacemaking through her art activism. Just need a dozen people are so to commit to making this happen. Contact the Peace Abbey Foundation for more information.

We still care for the Memorial tree planted in her honor by Friends of Alewife Reservation. Someone you never forget. Ellen

Yes i also knew Sylvia and spoke with her often about her peaceful activism, and art-making. I was reminded of our mutual loss today; now six years ago this month when she died. Resting-in-peace.

SInce my home has several of Sylvia's etchings hanging, I am reminded of her frequently, and have not stopped completely the environmental preservation work she and I were involved in, so remember how reassuring it was to work with her and her steadfastness and artistic bent in the process. She would be unhappy with the state of the world today, but always encouraging and reassuring!

So sorry to hear this very sad news. I hope Sylvia's wonderful peace march paintings will continue to live on displayed somewhere suitable. A lifelong friend from Vassar.
