Immediately, we need folks to join us in a response to the grimly approaching 1000th US troop death in Afghanistan. We will be marking the occasion with demonstrations in both Lansing and East Lansing. In the long term, we need event volunteers and people interested in working with our outreach teams--Youth Outreach, Middle East Awareness, and Cost of Militarism Education. There are other opportunities as well. Please email the pec at peaceedcenter@gmail.com to find out more. Thanks for your interest! Hi,

Bill was at the very heart of the peace & justice community here in Lansing. In fact, many times he was the "pace-maker": jump-starting us into action, and keeping the momentum going. Bill will always have residence in my own heart, just as he will for Lansing at large. The fire of his spirit is inextinguishable.

I met Bill last year when he helped to host the Wheels of Justice Tour in Lansing. I was encouraged by his warm welcoming and the gentle and thoughtful way he worked for justice in the world.

He helped drive a van down to the SOA protest in Ft. Bening, Georgia. He was such a constant--I think of him attending meetings and helping with set up or clean up, attending vigils, rallies, fundraising events....once a month we had a committee meeting on Monday nights at Emil's for the "all you can eat spaghetti" nights. I especially remember the surprise birthday party he gave Julia. He was so devoted to her; so devoted to the community and the groups he worked with. I am shocked and saddened. I am thinking of Julia and their children. The first time I met Bill, I had only been living in Lansing a few months. He helped drive a van down to the SOA protest in Ft. Bening, Georgia.

I have known Bill since I moved to Lansing in 1990. We met and became friends and allies through the Coalition for Community Concerns and worked together on many efforts over the years, including his run for the Lansing School Board. He was always there when anyone needed him and always worked tirelessly to help make this world a better place...and in many ways, it is because of our friend Bill. He and Julia have touched many lives and we are all better people for having had that privilege. Bill will be sadly missed, but we have been blessed with fond memories that will live on within our hearts. Thank you Bill...and thank you Julia for having shared Bill's kindness and good heart with the rest of us. Such a shocking loss! I have known Bill since I moved to Lansing in 1990.
