JUST BACK HOME

 Just back from my trip to Chautauqua, New York. Took the train all the way there and loved the ride. Had a really excellently organized experience there. Will write up a report in the next day or so.

News is bad as Israel going on a rampage last few days. They are trying to expand the war in the Middle East knowing that the U.S. will ultimately support them as they move closer to attacking Iran and Syria. Very dangerous times.

Was nice to return and find that the Global Network's new Administrative Assistant, Mary Beth Sullivan, had been working in my absence meaning that I did not have a zillion things to catch up with when I came back. Very grateful to the Wallace Global Fund for making her part-time work possible with us. It will help alot.

I've been invited to deliver the keynote speech at the WERU Fair in Blue Hill, Maine on July 23. A real honor as this progressive community-based radio station has been very supportive of the work of our organization since arriving in Maine three years ago. Should be an exciting experience.
