Thanks Dawn, I've watched it twice, and likely will listen/watch parts of it yet again. John, as I've said elsewhere on this forum, on the thread about his death, was a friend, a research colleague, a teacher, and someone I admired. He was also one of a literal handful of persons who steered my life towards deep political research.
What a loss! He did, however, in his life do more than most others ever even dream of doing along research and progressive action lines. A full life, well lived!
He left the rest of us enormous empty shoes to fill...and that need filling!
There were a few persons I expected to also speak there who did not, but perhaps there were some special reasons they couldn't attend; but those who spoke captured much of John vividly.
Personally, I would like to see his Museum of Hidden [Truthful] History to become a reality and to have a library based on his own one...and if some of the remaining library of Mae Brussell can also be added, that would be even better - as Mae had entrusted them to John.
