I LOVE Guys & Dolls! I'll watch out for your cousin next time it is playing.

Maybe we could all meet up at the International Peace Garden, some day. (I don't see any "peace" signs on that site!)

Little bit more history then I will stop. It's just interesting to me to find these things:

Women Strike for Peace (USA) A US organization of women, mainly housewives, who, initially defining themselves as apolitical and domestic, campaigned against the nuclear arms race and the Cold War. The organization was founded on 1 November 1961, in the form of a one-day national peace protest led by Dagmar Wilson and others. An estimated 50,000 women stopped their work in the home for a day to demand that President John F. Kennedy 'End the Arms Raceā€”Not the Human Race'. Bella Abzug led the organization into the domain of overt politics in the WSP's campaign against the draft for the Vietnam War.

A lot to explore in links at Swarthmore, too. They ask people to write to them to have their organisation added. I think someone should tell them about the CND. I didn't see it listed.

Jeri, that might be it, I forget how long Murray's been back in Scotland. Sorry, Murray!:-)

Happy New Year, MtheGM...glad to see you have a sense of humour.
