So long, Sally-Alice

Long-time activist and friend, Sally-Alice Thompson, passed away today. She remained committed to peace and the environment and was engaged with current events. A century is a long time for a person to live, and Sally-Alice saw a lot during her 100 years on the planet. She taught and supported others. She stopped attending rallies and protest events in person but was there in spirit. May her spirit continue to be with the world for another 100 years.

There will likely be a couple of memorial services in the coming days. A burial service will be held at La Puerta Natural Burial Ground, Wednesday, July 17, 10:00 a. m. The burial ground is southeast of Belén, New México.
