Scott, I want to remind you of what an important part of my life you have been and I want to thank you. I met you when I was in high school (maybe 10th grade) at the Peace Center. I had spent the summer working at the South Dade migrant labor camp with Robyn Kaufman. One day she suggested we go to the Peace Center on a Friday night. That night was to change my life. You were so different from any other adult I knew- a vegetarian, a pacifist and a great story teller. I remember vividly you talking about your privileged life growing up and the disparities you witnessed driving down Park Ave in NYC. You spoke about your walk for peace, visiting Auschwitz (?) and your commitment to peace and the environment. You were so well read. You spoke in beautiful metaphors. Once I brought you to my high school to speak to my class and I felt so proud to be associated with you. I remember role-playing in the Friday night group, walking picket lines for the UFW, sitting on your sailboat, beneath your rainbow flag, with a group of kids talking about changing the world. I remember riding in your old Barracuda car to various meetings- seeing Angela Davis speak, and so much more. You spoke so well- your tone measured, your voice soft but powerful. You introduced me to so many people- Melinda and Wayne (my first love), Jed (the father of my daughters and my companion for 30 years), Grace Abrams and Fran, Lisa. And the kids I already knew plus the new ones, I'm sure I don't remember them all: Robyn Kaufman, Charlie,(and her brother) Cameron, Ilene, Gary Dorsey, Wendy Ring, Stephanie Stuckwisch, Lynne Goldman, Teresa Mustalier, Joel and Alicia Saxe. Also, Warren Hoskins and others. It was a heady time, a transformative time and you were the pivotal figure. I believe, I know, that we were all very lucky to have each other. I know that our time together in some way shaped most of us and determined in some ways the paths our lives would take. Thank you for playing that role, helping us see the world differently, helping us believe that change could be made, that we could be part of it. Melinda and I have often wished that we could have a reunion of the Friday night group. We know where some people are, what they are doing. Everyone is busy, probably it won't happen but you should know, you should always remember how important you were to so many people. Cindy Carmichael
