[Peace-discuss] Fw: Thursday once again

[David Green]

My friend Peggy Aylsworth of Santa Monica, CA, whom I have known for over 50 years since I became friends with her son in what used to be called junior high school, still writes and disseminates a weekly poem at age 95.

 ​Dears...
Perhaps you read the story a few days ago about the Japanese man, a Hiroshima survivor,who spent every weekend for 20 years looking in U.S. phone books to locate the familiesof the 12 American POWs who died when the A bomb was dropped.  This poem is meantto commemorate this exemplary man..
