Re-sending earlier message

Dear Friends,

Apologies to those of you who have already received the October 5 message. 
Unfortunately
the email listserve I used for it doesn't seem to have worked very well. Over
20% of the addresses bounced. It seems that lists.riseup.net messages are 
sometimes
blocked as spam by major ISPs. More worrying is that today, a week later, I 
received
an email from a person whose address had not bounced, but she also never 
received
the message.

So I have signed up with a commercial email firm in the hopes that the messages 
will actually get out.

Please forward this message to friends, especially because we have had so much 
trouble
getting it out. I also made a mailing address correction in the message below 
for
sending photographs and hard copy reminiscences of Peter.

Dear Friends,

This message has four parts:

1. Peter Camejo's Memorial

2. The blog, ongoing new information

3. Brief report of an award Peter won

4. Communication details

----------

1. Peter's Memorial Meeting

The Memorial meeting for Peter will be held on Saturday or Sunday, November 22
or 23, in the afternoon, in Berkeley or Oakland. We hope to have final details
by the end of the week, but there have been some complications in reserving a
location. However the weekend of Nov. 22-23 is definite, for those of you
wanting to make travel plans.

As part of the memorial meeting we are soliciting two things: photographs of
Peter, especially earlier ones, and hard-copy reminiscences to be put in a
memory book, which will eventually be put online. Physical photographs will be
scanned and returned. Both the photographs and the reminiscences should be sent
to Peter's brother Dan Ratner at

Dan Ratner
1350 Broadstone Pkwy
Apt 4413
Folsom, CA 95630

If you have high quality scans of photos, you can send them to Dan at

dr_public@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you'd be willing to have these photos appear on the blog, please also send
them to

achis@xxxxxxx


2. Blog

This is just to remind everyone that the blog

http://petercamejoupdates.blogspot.com/

is still active. All messages about the memorial will also appear on the blog.
In addition we have been adding interviews and speeches of Peter's in YouTube
and mp3 format. There are now six YouTube clips, from three minutes to twenty
minutes each. These range from his campaign for governor to his August 2008
speech at the Peace & Freedom party convention. There is also an mp3 clip of
an
1976 interview with Peter and I hope to have a link to a1967 speech of his at
Sproul plaza up soon. If we get pictures of Peter, we will try to add those
too.


3. Award

On September 27 the Pakistan American Democratic Forum presented Peter the
Abdul Ghaffar Khan Peace Award. Dr. Agha Saeed presented the award, which was
accepted on Peter's behalf by Jo Chamberlain. There will be a picture of the
award up on the blog soon.


4. Communication details

Due to the large number of people wanting to be informed of memorial plans, we
have had to go to a list format. Our internet service provider shut our account
down for a few hours when we sent out the last message, so that we had to try
sending from the web, with the result that many people got the message very
late and some perhaps not at all. However this is not a discussion list, but
only an announcement list, whose only purpose is to inform people who are
interested of the plans for Peter's memorial and information about the
publication of his memoirs, when that is available.

This list consists of names we had that we knew would be interested, names
Peter gave us when we started the blog, and names of people who have written
in. If for some reason you have received this message and don't want to be on
the notification list, please write to

achis@xxxxxxx 

and you will be removed.

Also if you have received this message as a forward from a friend, and would
like to be added to the list yourself, just write to the same address and you
will be added.

Please do forward this message to those who you feel would be interested. Over
the years Peter has touched many people, and we have the names of very few of
them.

Thank you,

Alex Chis & Claudette Begin
