About This Site 

A Bit O'History

A fellow named EJ had been posting a web site for the GPM. In August 1996, he decided to stop doing this. Thanks to EJ for the idea and efforts he put in for the last year. At the Reunion, I ran into Frank Holmgren, and we discussed getting a new page up and running. Here it is! So, your webber is now me, Roberta Wilson. I'm certainly open to sharing the joys and the load--so let me know about that.

Why We're Doing This

You might ask--why bother? Here is my answer: I have sometimes pondered just how we walked across the country in 1986. At the 1996 Reunion, I remembered how we did it. I saw folks there that have an understanding of how the world works AND an undaunting spirit to do the right thing and to act in behalf of peace. Of course we walked! Of course we talked to schools, churches, farmers, and folks on the street! Of course we developed a passionate March community! Perhaps we can do it again--another march for disarmament? (We--the US--still arm the world) Other projects? Maybe just a few of us get together to work on something else that is important? Or maybe we simply share our news and projects with our March brothers and sisters? However it develops, I intend this web site to be a forum for keeping the March spirit alive, help keep people in touch, and perhaps share ideas about what we might do together again.

Note from Shundahai Network

Shundahai Network is an international collective of antinuclear activists brought together by Corbin Harney, a Western Shoshone Spiritual Leader. Shundahai is a Western Shoshone word meaning "Peace and Harmony with all Creation." We organize demonistrations and nonviolent direct actions at the Nevada Test Site. Many GPM'ers attend and we would love to see more. Our web page is http://www.shundahai.org.

Swarthmore Taking More GPM Material

We are very interested in receiving more material about the Great Peace March. We are particularly interested in individual responses like published or unpublished manuscripts. I think we have all the organizational papers (take a look at the checklist for the GPM records that we do have at the Peace Collection http://www.swarthmore.edu/Library/peace/DG100-150/DG147GPM.html ). So, yes, please put out a call for more materials with the understanding that we already have the flyers, minutes, newsletters, maps, etc. The address for the Peace Collection is: Swarthmore College Peace Collection 500 College Ave. Swarthmore, PA 19081

Tapes Available

For those of you who haven't gotten one (or lent it out to god knows who) "Just One Step" (the unexpurgated director's cut, 90 min.) is now available from Cathy Zheutlin for $25 bucks (includes postage and handling). Send checks to Cathy at 3416 NE 30th, Portland OR 97212.

Born Again Hippie's Book

At one point in the GPM website, the question was what is the name of the book by Martin Hippie, aka Born Again Hippie. It's a self-published book, available by writing to Marty, $15 (signed even!), and the name is Spirit Walk. Our address is 1015 E. Schapville Rd., Elizabeth, IL61028. If you can wait for the CO reunion, we'll be bringing copies (he actually had copies at the 10th in Iowa). It would be great to get it into the right hands and get it really published. It's a very readable adventure, Marty does know haw to tell a story.--Freda Weis
