Sadly, I never got back in touch with Scott to tell him how meaningful his example was to me. I never got to tell him how important and formative his work in creating a space for teen activists was for my growth and my commitment to peace and social justice. In 1999, as I readied the acknowledgements page for my book, _Citizenship Rites_ (NYU Press, 2000), I thought deeply about the influences over my work, and Scott was vivid in my memories. I excerpt from that Acknowledgements page here. Perhaps he came across it at some point. ...."Many people helped to shape my thinking and hone my intuitions for this project. My first debts in this regard are to the activist communities through which I learned my politics. This work grows directly out of my activism for justice and peace. Without a community of activists and a commitment to that yearning there would be no inspiration to engage these questions; therefor I owe the most to that vision and to the people who keep the magic alive. In the early 1970s I was introduced to antimilitarism in Coconut Grove, Florida by Cindy Carmichael, a schoolmate, Scott Herrick of the American Friends Service Committee, and a wonderful group of activist teenagers." ... Scott was an icon of lived commitment to his beliefs in peace and justice, his life full of risks (and adventures) pursuing that aspiration. Scott led the student group in thinking about the worker justice issues represented by the plight of farm workers, and we picketed the Winn Dixie. We also talked about the nuclear nightmare and worked to address it. But more than those things, Scott was a loving friend and supporter and as I went through transitions in those heady days of discovering self in relation to the world, he was a tremendous support. I returned to that activism in the mid 1980s as I returned to university and worked with the Santa Cruz Resource Center for Nonviolence; a place that always reminded me of Scott and our circle. Indeed, in an odd echo, I worked with Scott Kennedy at the RCNV. I became a nonviolence preparer, I organized and participated in demonstrations for peace, workers' rights, women's rights (including ones against the Ft Ord military base and its role in launching attacks in Central America), and then became professor at the converted Ft Ord, now California State University Monterey Bay. Scott planted those seeds in me; I hope I have helped to honor him through my work. THANK YOU SCOTT!!! may you, truly, rest in peace. with great love and admiration, Ilene Feinman
