This issue is dedicated to Ruth Emerson, long-time New Haven activist and humanitarian, who passed away on April 25 at Connecticut Hospice in Branford. The PAR Planning Committee gives our sincere condolences to her family and friends. In addition to being a PAR subscriber, for many years she was a PAR proofreader. All who knew Ruth will greatly miss her. Her intelligence coupled with her fierce sense of justice and sense of humor made her a most remarkable activist and a wonderful friend and colleague in the struggle for a more peaceful and just world.
Please join family and friends for a memorial service on June 26 at 2 p.m. at The People’s Center,
37 Howe St. New Haven. For information, contact Sherman Malone (203) 675-4770. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Haiti Marycare, Inc., 55 King St., Danbury, CT 06811 or Defending Dissent, 1100 Wayne Ave. #1020, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
