So many friends! Walk ends in success

We completed the King Co. walk Monday, finishing our 655,000 steps by taking part in the march from the Federal Courthouse. Among our accomplishments:
--About 75 people walked, plus hundreds whom we met along the way.
--Nine local groups took part, ranging from Lake Forest Park for Peace to Shoreline Unitarian's youth group.
--We were covered in at least two newspapers and on KOMO TV. A story went out to a network of 140 radio stations nationwide.
--Most importantly, we talked with people along the way, gathering names of people who want to take steps--literally or figuratively--to end the war. We'll be working to connect them with current neighborhood peace groups and to form new groups where none exist yet. Contact us if you'd like to be on that list: freefred@drizzle.com
