"Overcome evil
with good, falsehood with truth, hatred with love" -- Peace Pilgrim |
|
Dear Friends of Peace Pilgrim In the last issue of our newsletter we let you know of the “glorious transition” of our dear Ann Rush in November of 2007. We now also need to inform you of the “beautiful liberation into a freer life” of her husband John on March 28th of this year.... Memories of John and Ann
Ann met John Rush at a YMCA dance in Whittier, CA. While most young people of the time were swinging to fox trots, jazz and the Charleston, John and Ann both managed to find one of the few places where folk dances were held... Thoughts about John and Annfrom Friends “You’ve done a wondrous miraculous work with your lives!! Thank You! We have distributed many pamphlets, books, and tapes. Love the video, which always touches those who watch it. All thanks to your dedication, vision and love! Yes, there are still remarkable beings on our planet and you two head the list!” |
