| Comments: | Marek, you are crazy. We always have the reunion on the 3rd weekend in September. I know many years ago it was in October, and it rained. The morning circle was in mud. There may be a few other times it shifted for one reason or another but in all recent years it has been the same. We will miss you. Plan for next year! |

| Comments: | Oops that last post should read Marek not Marekomb. I have finally begun to write about my experiences with the march. My primary form of expression is poetry. I hope one day to be able to share it with all you. I have been doing a lot of writing the past three years and am now looking to start getting it published. (I have my first piece in a local erotica anthology.) If anyone is curious, above is a link to a 5 minute audio of a recent reading. Miss You all and as much as I would like, the Cali reunion now looks unlikely. (wasn*t the reunion held once over the long Columbus day weekend? Cause I think that was how I was able to attend. Or am i crazy?) |

| Comments: | Praise be to BOB IS GOD! Richard, I fear you will smote me or perhaps, smoke me but it has long been established on this guest page that BOB IS GOD! Perhaps, you and Sarah can be VGs. I hope Sarah doesn't get arrested, pepper sprayed etc like Amy Goodman. While we are asking for miracles, I like to ask BOB IS GOD to bestow perfect health back to Poobah and Priscilla Inkpen {Paula's partner}. Thanks...praise be... |

| Comments: | Richard, I am sorry to contradict you, especially upon pain of being smote, but it was Bob who blew that storm unto those Cajuns rather than let it hit New Orleans again. You see Bob as God, never did like Zydeco, but he rather adores The Neville Bros. He also refused to let the storm form during the DNC wanting to save his rage for the RNC for obvious reasons. Despite what you may have heard from the Crazy Christian Wrong, God is not a Republican. In fact, God is Bob. That said, God could also be Sarah Seeds who is now Street Fighting Sarah in St. Paul. It pleases me to report that the preemptive arrests in St. Paul in advance of the RNC are the work of the Dick Cheney and his assistant, Satan. |

He's safely evacuated right now but if anyone has any influence with the weather gods New Orleans could really use a "miss" on this one. |

| Comments: | There are some parts of the march I remember vividly. Having watched the movie made by Cathy Zheutlin and crew (hi, James) multiple times, there are parts of the march that I think of and I see scenes from the movie running through my mind. When James mentioned Dixon, I could see the movie first and then as I recalled the day, other pieces of memory drifted into place. |

| Comments: | It is shocking that a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima 63 years ago and that we are still engaged in so much warfare and the continued production and spread of nuclear weaponry. Nuclear weaponry and warfare are the ultimate expressions of greed, hatred and ignorance. I believe the solution begins within and reverberates across all space and time. |

| Comments: | I might have the chance to interview Yoko Ono (PR people sometimes offer things they can't deliver). Anyone have any messages to pass along or questions to ask? I reviewed a B.B. King concert last night and sat next to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Weird to think that if RFK had been elected and re-elected, he would now have been out of office for almost 32 years. Is anyone else terrified about what the Bushies will try to do between election day and inauguration day? |

| Comments: | Frank, Lynn, For now we are fine. It is bad here! Very dense and steep terrain with difficulty containing it. On Saturday I evacuated some friends with embers falling and a wall of broiling smoke just down the canyon. Amazingly the fire skirted thier home and those of their immediate neighbors. It burned homes down the road. Now it is threatening to come around the other way. I am hosting fire refugees and a Red Cross worker. The fire is running up the Merced River Canyon today. If it heads down Fergason Ridge our home is in more danger. I think we will be safe but I am constantly monitoring fire radio and internet. One of the best sites for info and links is http://www.goldrushcam.com/ Here is a link to a must see picture of the broiling fire cloud I was in. This pic is from a distance. I was at the source of that cloud and it broiled over head. http://www.goldrushcam.com/discus/messages/2104/2172.html?12172172 |

Is that really you typing the words here? Do you remember me? Do you remember Anthony and I playing guitar? Adam and Robear and I tagging along through Utah? Does this God Squad refugee still require the call for mediation or are my words welcome here? I am having a difficult moment wondering who else is still out there, and seeing your name again after all these years...hope to hear from you and god bless, Shanawa.

| Comments: | i was on the GPM the last two months i joined up in mckeesport pensylvania- washinton, d.c. i actually became a speaker to elementary and highschool students at the time. and i was part of the information trailer, we posted bulletins etc. for marchers and news stories etc. on the trailer walls. i was a college student going to cleveland state, so i hung out with fellow clevanders etc. i know the words here or anywhere are powerfull, they take on a life of their own. i'm not in the silver thread, i declined getting my picture taken, basicaly i'm a shy person. the march changed me forever, i'm still very passionate about recycling, i still write letters & i still boycott products to day that hurt workers rights the environment etc. so we all are still part of global nuclear disarment issues,environmental issues, poverty issues etc. even in big or small ways were all doing our share still. i'm sure not many people remember me,i was there to march to end hate & nuclear war someday.peace. |

Kathy, it was great hanging out with you. Glad you told the GPMers so they can send you love and healing thoughts! Shanawa, congratulations on a long walk...a heart walk. I was with you in spirit sending blessings and prayers. Looked at Pics almost everyday wishing I was there in person walking with y'all. I hope you can feel that although we are lame in our voicing and financial support, that each of us will always walk with marcher support in our hearts. On this walk, Shanawa, I felt you not only represented yourself but the heart of the GPM tribe. Thank you for walking! Joe if you move to tropical paradise, I'm comin with!

| Comments: | Dear Peace Marchers Thinking about the Peace March I must divide my life into before and after. It has been years since I thought or wrote about the March. Why? Is it because of the unbearable grief I felt at the end, not only of a particular love, but a whole way of life. I should have been ecstatic, but instead fell into despair incomparable to anything I have felt before or after, even the death of a parent and two spouses. Why was it so unbearable? Was it the loss of hope, direction, friends, family, purpose? I did what I usually do in times of grief. Shut myself off from friends, “family” that could have sympathized. Led myself to believe that the one who could help was the one person that was unavailable. After the March I did probably the worst thing I could have done; moved to upstate Vermont into a house that was owned by my aunt and uncle who had gone to Florida. I isolated myself and tried to write a book. I couldn’t write. The grief was too raw. |

| Comments: | Shanawa, I was supporting you and your fellow walkers in my heart, but I should have made that support more evident by speaking up on the GPM site. It was exciting to follow your progress, and there was a part of me that wanted to be with you in person (how I would love to go for another long walk for a good cause), but the cycle of my life did not allow that kind of journey this year, and didn't even allow me to send a financial donation. Poobah, poobah, poobah, much love, many hugs and healing thoughts to you. Joe and Lori and kids, I am overdue to visit Colorado and see the members of my family (traditional and GPM) who live there. I will have to go out soon, so I can see you before you go to CR. Congrats on your 15th anniversary. And a big, "hey, how ya doing, good to see ya" to all the rest of you reading this. |

| Comments: | McKinney was the only democrat to stand up to Bush after 9/11. She was demonized by repubs and Dems alike and driven out of office. All for asking the right questions at the "wrong" time. She'll get my vote if Obama is 10 points or more above McCain in CA. As Gene said, its a luxury we have here in California, voting for who really represents our beliefs without causing another Republican coup. |

| Comments: | Lynn! I am delighted to hear that you will vote for Cynthia McKinney. I think I may too. Or else I will write in the name of Dennis Kucinich. I want so much to like and support Obama but I can’t do it. Did he break my heart with all his broken promises, his embrace of religion, his disposal of his principles? No, because in my heart I knew it would be so. That’s okay. Obama will win the state of California by 24 percent. No worry about a McCain victory here. Therefore I am free to vote how I truly feel. That’s liberating. To actually vote for one who speaks for me, my values - my politics. Casting my ballot for a person I respect, I’ll walk out of the voting booth respecting myself. I hope we have a great big discussion on all this on this page as we did eight years ago in the 2000 election. (I don’t remember much of a debate here in 2004.) But maybe I’m wrong. What do you think? |

| Comments: | Frank! Like everything else, the VOG goes to the Kona (rich) side of the island. LA smog is much worse, more often, IMO. But that is for you to decide. Anyway, I got another plane ticket after the airlines that my return flights were on went out of business, and took my money with them. I am flying back on 7/24. If you and Lynn, et al want to come by for a camp out, let me know. That invite goes to marchers in general. I am off line over there so my PO Box is 451, Keaau, HI 96749. Give me some warning though. I don't pick up my mail very often. |

| Comments: | Lori, Alexander(14), Natasha(10), and I are currently in Costa Rica. We just spent the last four days looking at high schools and middle schools in the central valley of greater San Jose. We think that we will be moving down here next July for the 2009-2010 school year. We have had a lot of family trauma in the last 5 months with the sudden death of my beloved aunt and the short hospitalization of my mother after a fall and Lori's father's continued decline and institutionalization for advanced Parkinson's disease. This advancing old age, sickness and death has reminded us that life is very short and precious. All we are really guaranteed is THIS very breath. With that in mind, we have decided to expand our horizons and those of our children by moving down here for a while. We want to engage in a meaningful and fun adventure before our children leave us after high school. Our Spanish will get better and we will have the opportunity to see the world through different eyes. We are one. |

| Comments: | Because this site is a sounding board,I also wanted to try out this analogy between the Southwest US where I live, and Israel. It seems to me in both cases that the lighter-colored people have booted the darker people out of the better half of their land, and are willing to keep a remnant on hand to do menial labor. But they cannot offer full citizenship for fear that the darker people would take over and regain what was once theirs. I abhor the memory of Ronald Reagan, and I am proud to have walked with you in revulsion against his policies. But he did have a good line about tearing down a wall. Who is building walls now? California and Israel can survive as long as they focus on what they stand FOR and remain inclusive. If they give up the freedom they stand for and become exclusive, pressure will continue to build until the walls burst. Or so it seems to me, but I know that a lot of you also have stakes in these issues, and a wealth of experience to share if you will. Thank you! |

| Comments: | Like Gypsy Jim, I have gone through 2 months at one sitting. Congratulations indeed to Shanawa! And much success to your vision of peace and progress. Best healing wishes to Kathy, along with all the hope in that wonderful word early. Our GPM family is certainly an extended family, and not so dysfunctional. I think Bob Trausch has land in Belize. Lynn and I have thought of moving to the Big Island, but we worry about the effect of the vog (volcanic fog) on her asthma. The current plan is to keep our reliable jobs and our affordable home for another year in these unsettled times. I will vote happily for Obama and Lynn, angrily, for McKinney. Bushco has been a perfect storm of idelogical arrogance and amateurish incompetence, with a polluting residue of criminal fascism. McInsane would bring more single-minded focus to the pursuit of global empire, and might be even likelier than Acting President Cheney to start a nuclear war. But I agree, hope is in the air and it is for everyone. luv2u |

| Comments: | Yes I am Barbara Cone. Thanks for working with Janet. I was so happy to hand the reins to her. Yes, Harlem. Bear with my flash back. That is where I ended up with blood poisoning and Dan Chavez took me to Harlem General Hospital. I was so sick I laid in his lap for hours while we waited for all the gun shot victims and heart attacks to subside. When the red line going up my arm almost reached my arm pit they decided it was now life threatening. The next two days are a blur in a borrowed apartment. After that dan had to go back to LA and I was alone to find my way to Staten Island and locate the march. It was a great journey walking Manhatten. I was so happy to be well again. Thanks Dan for taking care of me! |

| Comments: | Barbara: My picture is not in the original Silver Thread directory, but my name is in the back section. I also did security, but towards the end of the march. Myself and Janet Coester "took over" security leadership for the walk into, and the campsite at that dilapidated stadium next to Harlem in New York City. Before that I worked at Info-Com and did door-to-door canvassing in Boulder, CO before joining the March (Aug.6th west of Chicago) and throughout the rest of the March. The village I lived in was "Womb with a View". I look about the same now as I did then except I have a LOT more grey hair. (5'7, brown shaggy hair, I wore a Peruvian brimmed hat alot. Are yo Barbara Cone? Kathy R: I want to apologize for a major faux pax yesterday. After digging out my original Silver Thread I realized i had mistaken you with Cathy Z. Greetings and apologies to you both. Kathy R. do I remember visiting with you in Boulder shortly after the March or am I totally off-the-mark there too? Ela |

Also ditto on positive healing energy to Kathy R. I ran into you in Portland in the early 90's. Where are you living now? Also feelings of deflation after the Obama victory. I had such high hopes.

| Comments: | A couple of days ago I decided to Google then email my friend Ben Zeman who I had not seen since a tearful goodbye in December of 1986. Other than being totally subrised that I contacted him he commented about me not making it to any reunions.This prompted me to Google The Great Peace March... thus I have found this site and also prompted me to find my box of Peace March stuff which includes the journals I kept every day, poetry, musings,photos which i took until my camera was stolen (Indiana or Ohio) and tapes of interviews with Franklin Folsom, Evan Conroy, Bob Trauch and John Record. I have a list of people I would love to know about. I live in Scappoose, Oregon just outside Portland. My parner David Scharf and I lead a Peace Vigil in Scappoose one Sunday a month and were actively involved in the 24/7 Peace Camp in front of Porland City hall(started the day after the invasion of Iraq until it was shut down 5 months later using Obstruction of Nuisance Ordinance.

| Comments: | Shanawa, Congrats on the completion. Sorry I could not have done more. The walk was past my area by the time I found out. I have no car or job, so money is also a limitation. But I did spread the word over the net when I could. I don't expect politicos to do anything to help. They do not represent the people. And the lesser of two evils is still evil. COMPRESSED RANT: I am all for Ted's Alt Trans. Can't wait! Got a link for an e-bike motor. GPM Island/community = Hawaii. Nuke power plants get real warm when someone flies a plane into them. Fuseless bombs! Can you say global boiling? Plants are the solution to co2. Sugar cane not corn for biofuel. Weather can be influenced by the mind. Little doubt techno can do it too. Healing to the living. Peace to the passing. Rebirth in all the best ways to all in the cirlce of life. Sorry, just read two months of posts in one sitting. |

| Comments: | Now, I prepare myself for what is to come. Life surges in me, It is time to repair the money situation and think. There is great energy within me and I want to use it wisely. The next thing I do must be something that no one can deny would be something that is good. It should be something that anyone can do. An example for all. Life is good, things are clear and the experience of the walk are in me. It gave me heart and strength and it broke my heart at times. When we sang the A.I.M. song, life surged and bursts fourth as all gathered to sing. I loved the way the song filled out and became whole as the women entered in the singing of it. Then there was the sadness I felt in my heart when people were force to leave, at these times the walk took strength form me. Continue |

| Comments: | I am in Washington D.C. The walk is now over. It is a sweet sadness that has come over me. It was quite a moment in my life. To ask what I have learned from it would take five months. I have changes in mind and I feel that I would be good in making that happen. I have plans in the future that are formulating in my mind. There is poetry lingering within my mind from the experience. My heart is in flux with all the emotion rushing through my veins. There is so much more to do and think of, I want to change the world. I don't want to rely on a politician or a boss to do it for me. I want to charge forward in every thing I do. Today I will retire a little strip of red cloth that was given to me to identify my vehicle as one of the people on the walk. I had put it on in California at the very beginning of the walk. It has faded to a light red or pink, weathered by the sun and time. I will put it where I can use it as motivation to carry on the work of the moment. Continue |

| Comments: | Aloha one and all! I am happy to announce the publication of two new E-book downloads that are now available. "Beware of Rich Friends", chronicles the development of the vision that led to the establishing of the Eco-Ark in the Puna Rain Forest on the island of Hawaii. A long, strange, and mystical journey that began on The Great Peace March. Sharing the inspiration I received at the '86 national Gathering of the Rainbow Family in Pennsylvania. And the mysterious happenings in the vortex region of Sedona AZ. Where I was recruited as a bodyguard for an heiress to one of America's Wealthiest families. They are full of tales of Mysterious, Humorous, and sometimes horrific occurrences and the people we met along the way.The sequel "With Friends Like This" continues the adventure five years later. Carrying the vision to the tropical island of Maui. I will be heading back to the jungle soon, And be off line and off grid. After I check out some posts, I'll add another link with contact in |

But it provides world news too, and that is the category under which the Longest Walk appears. Shanawa is quoted in a very poetic remark. I found the article on Common Dreams.

We live in the high Desert...11 years now...after 11 years of living by the sea in CA and FL. Michael was a private yacht captain...and Patti his mate on many adventures at sea, from the east coast to the west coast, north to Vancouver, BC. Contact us and we can catch up on our life journeys since the great adventure of the Peace March...a life changing event for us! And the "peace march" continues in daily living! Where is Rolleen? He was a significant friend, among many. We're close friends with Hall Newell, who is responsible for landing us in Darwin. Remember him? He drove the yellow MAC truck. So let us chat! |

The weekend rolled around and we checked with the web site and found out that you all had picked up the pace and passed through there 5 days earlier. We were quite disappointed. And Joe, how about Obama pushing the "faith based initiatives" beyond Bush as a very cynical attempt to hurt McCain further with the evangelicals? Part of me is happy to see the Republican's lock on the christian right breaking up and part of me is just so sick of the political games. |

| Comments: | Dear Joe and Lauren, Thank you so much for letting me know about my dear friend Ed! Ed was one of my dearest friends on the march and was a tremendous support to me, Dennis, and Jessie, (not to mention the entire march community), from day one to the very end. He always believed in me. I will forever be grateful for the impact he had on my life. While walking through CO, Ed took the three of us to share, not only his beautiful mountain cabin, but also shared his beautiful loving family with us. We were thrilled to know that he had a family that loved and respected him just as much as we did. They were three glorious days away from the march, enjoying good friends, good food, bathtubs, and children for jessie too! It was a pleasure to meet his family and my heart goes out to all of them. He may be leaving our physical earth, but he will never leave mine, theirs, or so many others hearts. Thank you again Joe. I've truly enjoyed remembering the memories of our past. |

| Comments: | I am glad Obama has supported gay marriage in California. Communications monitoring is technologically driven not humanpower driven, but the basic issue is my right to privacy and my constitutional right to avoid unreasonable search and seizure. Here is the fourth amendment in The Bill of Rights to The US Constitution. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Does that sound to you like it allows for the government to capture my emails and phone calls? |

| Comments: | Sorry Marc, but spying here is just as wrong as spying anywhere else and no, I do not give Obama or Big Telecom a pass on helping to further restrict my privacy and constitutional rights. It bothers me a lot to know that my daily communications with my business partners and friends overseas are apt to be intercepted and spied upon. Why would that not bother you? Would it bother you if those communications were published or sold? Now that Obama has the nomination in hand, just watch how he has and will continue to shimmy over to the right from all of his current positions in order to try and win votes. Just like Kerry and Gore he will get as close to his opponent as he can on as many issues as possible in order to pander to the mythical center. He will shed his principled positions as quickly as he can. It is up to people who value those principles to stand up and point out Obama's mistakes and backtracking. Supporting the FISA bill is just one of them. |

| Comments: | One of our elders, Ed Trunck, who lent support to so many of us during the March and who brought one of our first water trucks back from Colorado, is in a chosen and conscious process of dying. After a stroke last year which left him home bound, and after one week of being in a nursing home, he decided that this was no way to live and has selectively chosen to stop eating and drinking and to be completely present with his transition from this life to another. He is not in pain and he is not on medications. He is at peace, and he is completely focused on what he is now referring to as “his journey”. It has been four days and it could be a few days, or a week, or two more. He does not want calls or visitors but he is open to receiving loving thoughts and words from his friends. If you would like you can send an email to selene@indra.com and your words will reach him. I know he is in a very open and vulnerable state and hearing loving thoughts means everything to him. |

| Comments: | marc, no offense taken at all. here are a few things i have read: 1. Record-high crude prices have nothing to do with supply & demand but rather are caused by speculation &a weak dollar, Opec Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri 2. George Soros, whose hedge fund by some accounts made $3 billion last year, talked about a "speculative excess" & warned that the run-up in oil prices could drag the US into a recession. "There is a strong prima facie case against institutional investors pursuing a commodity index-buying strategy, It is intellectually dishonest, potentially destabilizing & distinctly harmful in its economic consequences." 3.Here is an article : http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8878 that ties in some changes that happened in jan 06 re: how oil futures contracts were regulated, that opened the door for this. Since oil companies are benefitting, and Bushco is oil-drenched, i continue to think there is a connection, even at the risk of losing my cyber-fan :( |

NOT thinking they are behind it actually seems like more of a leap of logic. i dont see it as being in the same league a believing in weather manipulation, or other more far fetched theories. that said, simply because an idea is far fetched, doesnt mean it isnt true, in fact, that is exactly how they get away with much of their shit. |

| Comments: | Pokkitta, pokitta, POW!. Actually as I get into Appropriate Technology more, I realize that we have to try a lot of alternatives, I just read the pro/con segment of compressed air cars on Wikipedia, and for some people, they'll probably work fine (my shop now sells a belt drive bike too). Beginning with the Industrial Revolution, and really booming after WW2, we have placed our hopes in the Technological God that will eventually appear to solve our problems, and as the wonders posssible due to cheap oil become more costly, we realize the solutions rely on that very same oil. Even my bike takes a few gallons of oil to produce and transport. How do we as peacemakers, create, encourage, teach, use, and ultimately dispose of stuff in a way that isn't elitist, exploitative, coercive, or actually violent?. I donate my old bike parts to my old program for kids, and buy used when I can. I recently read Cradle to Cradle about the lifecycle of stuff and so my thoughts are along its' lines. |

| Comments: | Bush has wanted to drill in ANWR and offshore since he's been in office. Yes, oil execs are greedy scumbags, and Bush and Cheney represent their interests. But didn't Bush have more leverage back when he enjoyed high popularity ratings and a Republican-controlled Congress? Why wouldn't he have arranged to artificially jack up gas prices THEN, to bolster his case for exploratory drilling? Is it not possible that the current spike in gas prices--rather than a satanic plot--is simply being used as an OPPORTUNITY by Bush to push his agenda? And if that's the case, isn't it also INTERESTING to see how this plays out? To see if the public will be sold on this hollow sales pitch? Or how much courage the Demo Congress will have--or need to have? Or how awareness of the deeper issues involved will spread--or not spread? There is something (to me) defeatist in the attitude of assuming that a dark conspiracy is pulling all the strings all the time (and I do mean "attitude"). |

| Comments: | Hmmmm? let's see...Peak Oil has come and gone, driling offshore will yield at most 3 years supply, same with Alaska....do I, an oil company executive, invest in drill rigs, crews, etc, and then drop prices for consumers....or do I move underproducing drill rigs, hire local, cheap labor, and keep prices the same while pocketing the difference?. any guess which way I'll go? anyone?. Prices may level out for a few months, but they ain't going back down. It's about the bottom line and wringing the last bit of profit before it runs out, anyone who expects anything alturistic from these people is high (in a bad way). Again it's not Oil that worries me, it's Petroleum....so much of our civilization depends on the myriad of stuff we get from cheap oil (plastics, medicine, fertilizers, etc.). And what happened to all the intentional commuity talk?, I've got solar powered, GPS guided, swithchgrass cutting tractors to build. |

| Comments: | Well Barbara, I guess I'm more naive but now it all makes sense. The prices couldn't rise this high before Bush's last "election" but now he can take revenge for his defeats around drilling. With the Saudi's as his personal friends and family business partners its easy to manipulate the market and now he and Cheney and their corporate masters have only to profit from both high prices and drilling. Like the war its all part of the game of getting the $$$ out of our pockets and into theirs. |

| Comments: | James, I heard Bush announce today that he believes it is time to start drilling domestically, off shore, and in preserves. I have been waiting for this announcement for some time. I knew this was his game all along. Now the public has to have the will and intelligence to see through it. That is what scares me. |
