Hello Mudcats! To reply to Amira, I was not arrested with the NYC Raging Grannies, But I suggested and made cookies - Granny sorta thang to do - and went to a lot of their court appearances - 6 days! - and sang our Granny songs against the war. They got a LOT of coverage in the papers in NYC and the world at the insanity of arresting Grannies for protesting at the Recruiting Office. "It's like arresting Santa Claus!" They were in jail for 3-4 hours and they took away Corinne's water and all their phones and stuff so they were very hungry, but I had sent my hubby Ken with oatmeal cookies which they were VERY glad to get! It's neato that you are still talking about our little group, just plain folks! Really, "Plain Folk". We are not PA Dutch, I was raised a Quaker. It was a lot of fun and I loved Ivan playing the Autoharp and sometimes I played autoharp with him, but mostly I got to sing some great songs with my 3 7/8 octave range!
