Sad news to me. She, especially, but all of them, were a part of the Civil Rights and Anti-War Movements, etc. I had the unique pleasure to have had a private concert performed in my tent by Mary Travers once. We were camping in tents on the lawn in front of the Administration Bldg. on my University campus [at that time U.C.L.A.] over University support of things related to Deep Political 'stuff' via research and members of the Board of Regents. I was sitting in my tent with two other protesters when a voice said 'May I come in'. In came Mary Travers with her guitar. She sang some of the old favorite protest songs for the three of us and chatted with us. I'll never forget! Bye Bye Mary! Thanks for all your work for Peace and Justice!!!!!....if only there were a few more like that! I'm sad.
