Peace Demonstrations Spread Like Ripples In A Pond

Dear Reader, The following post is from John Fortier, a 77 year old Korean War veteran and retired school teacher who hosts a peace vigil every Friday night in Redondo Beach, CA. John also joins the one I host nearby on Wednesday nights.

Michele and I went to the Seashore Chinese restaurant at Calle Mayor & PCH for our 52nd anniversary dinner, and the stocky, blond supermarket lady who visits us on your corner now and then, arrived with several church member friends and waved a greeting.

I observed that she was explaining me to her companions so when I finished eating I went over and told her we had held the vigil earlier and how much we appreciate her stopping to chat and offer her support. She explained to her friends about you and me and our 'cause' and what and when we do what we do.

So, several people were affected at a different time in a different place, but recipients of our efforts none the less.

You just never know.
