ANTI-MEMORIAL POT LUCK
Please bring a dish to share...
GERSTLE PARK, SAN RAFAEL (IN THE REDWOOD GROVE)
NO ALCOHOL PERMITTED ON THE PREMISES
We are gathering to share memories of Bill. And there will probably be lots to share, since Bill had many friends and a life full of adventure and accomplishments. A revolutionary activist, Bill was repeatedly jailed for civil disobedience. He was a cabinet maker of extraordinary art and skill. He wrote informatively and eloquently on political struggles in the US, the Middle East and elsewhere. He harbored feral cats, studied and respected the bathroom webs of his pet spider, cultivated his virtual characters Littleugly and Rosalux, and fondly recounted his mountain treks fueled only by peanut butter. At the very end of his life, he glowed with kindness, scholarly wisdom, wit and simplicity as always. Although enraged by injustice, capitalism and cruelty to animals, Bill seemed incapable of anger toward friends. He was no optimist and his humor could be dark, but for us he had no shadows.
¡BILL HARD, PRESENTE!
