Thank you Anne for this vivid retelling.  There are so many stories!  We are
blessed to have them and to have folks like you, who were eye witnesses to
history, share them with us.

In our pre-EI days, we were at First Presbyterian Church, Hartford, Conn.
When our pastor, George Cox, told the congregation that he felt called to go
to Selma, Norm and I dug into our newlywed pockets and contributed for his
bus fare.

These are still the times and we are still the people.

Grace and peace, Judy Lindblad
