87 YEAR OLD AT VIGIL IN THE FREEZING RAIN



There he was again ..

the 87 year old man..

standing at a vigil for peace

.. in the wind propelled 33 degree

rain.. which turned to sleet

and ripped paper signs

into shreds



Now he has gone

but he lighted numberless

torches.

John Looney has gone
back to God now..
During the Vietnam War
he sold his factory
so that he could
work full time not part
time for peace. His
gentle ways, his peace
coalition building
inspired everyone.
