[Peace-discuss] Joe Webber dies…

[Stuart Levy]

Sorry to hear they are gone.   Thanks, Mort, for passing along the 
word.    Sure enough they had been valuable, Joe quiet and strong, and 
Linda feisty to the core, and full of grand ideas.   What great lives 
they had!   May they be well remembered.
