Shundahai Network
Jay loved the Nevada desert and was committed to finding ways of 
protecting it. Jay attended several gatherings and nonviolent 
demonstrations at the Nevada Test Site. Shundahai Network is a 
nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking the nuclear chain by 
building alliances with indigenous communities and environmental, 
peace and human rights movements. The Network seeks to abolish all 
nuclear weapons and bring an end to nuclear testing. It advocates 
phasing out nuclear energy and ending the transportation and dumping 
of nuclear waste. The Network promotes the principles of 
Environmental Justice and strives to insure that indigenous voices 
are heard in the movement to protect their traditional lands and 
influence U.S. nuclear and environmental policies. All of Shundahai's 
campaigns and events incorporate the values of community building, 
education, spiritual ceremonies and nonviolent direct action.

Jay Zahrt Freed Memorial Education Fund
  Trish writes: "One of our long term plans included the completion of 
my Master's degree in Public Health. Jay and I both thought it would 
be smart to take advantage of the deeply-discounted tuition available 
to faculty and staff of the university, and I was accepted into the 
MPH program at the University of Nevada, Reno in January, 2003. My 
thesis project is to develop and co-instruct a college course on the 
many causes of obesity. I will study the effect of this course on 
student's negative attitudes toward obese persons.

In 2002, Jay pursued a job that would provide a stable income and 
benefits to supplement my income as I reduced my working hours to 
part time, so I could attend school part time. We knew my position as 
Lead Nutritionist for the Nevada site of the Women's Health 
Initiative research study would end in early 2005-my last day was set 
for January 13, 2005. At that point, Jay's salary would cover most of 
our expenses, with savings used as a supplement while I completed the 
last three semesters of graduate school (January 2005 to May 2006).

Jay's sudden death made the thought of continuing my education not 
only unimportant, but a financial frivolity. Yet, Heidi insisted I 
not lose sight of the important goals and plans that Jay and I shared 
for the future.  This is an opportunity to not only help fulfill 
Jay's plan, but also his wishes. Jay loved to take care of me, and 
would have wanted to realize this goal so we could move on to the 
next one-we had so many dreams together."

This Memorial Education Fund will cover expenses relating to the 
completion of Trish Freed's Master's degree including such expenses 
as tuition, books, internet access for research, printing supplies, 
reference materials, thesis publication, and graduation fees. This 
contribution is not tax deductible.

Ave., Camarillo, CA 93010; memo: fbo (for benefit of) Trish Freed.
