Hi, Comrades
What a remarkable day!
The two students I met last month brought another student, a young art student, around to meet me (!!) (Boy, was I flattered!) We talked at length, me pontificating as usual until my better nature told me to shut up and listen...
V reported on the difficulty of establishing a Peace Club---"it'll only be us three" and teachers are reluctant to sponsor---but she said if I could line up cogent speakers she could set it up with another club (perhaps Amnesty Int. club, I forget which one she mentioned) to entertain him/her. I thought of Kathy Kelly. Do any of you have her phone number or email?
I spoke at length with R the art student after the other students had to leave to get lunch. It was as invigorating and stimulating for me as I hope it was for her. I just emailed her a lengthy analysis of her artwork on display which I saw before leaving the building.
As long and tedious each month as visiting these high schools has proven to be, and no matter how I grouse about it beforehand, it's doing me a world of good...
