I loved making these origami paper cranes when I was a child. I was taught by Japanese friend of the family when we were stationed in Japan. It's a small, calming, creative action, taking a piece of paper and transforming it into something else.
another Washington state MFSO family drove down to Crawford. Doug and Linda arrived after I had left. This is the banner made by Linda, with help from volunteers Frankie, Faith and Jennifer. The banner was carried with the thousand written letters to Laura Bush.
Hi, Lietta. Linda Jansen here. Just for the record, Doug was actually dragooned out of camp to drive a rental truck the day the banner needed to be made. I asked for some volunteers at the morning camp meeting and this banner was put together by Frankie, Faith, Jennifer and myself. None of these women are formally members of MFSO, but they were all there to support Cindy and the other military families speaking out. It was very much in the spirit of Camp Casey, where any job finds willing hands to take it up. It was a wonderful experience being in Camp Casey with these folks, all dedicated to stopping this war.
'And Should We Die' is a historical novel, written by Arthur Ruger, with a compassionate look at a little known tragedy in American pioneer history; the Willie-Martin handcart trek (the last of the handcart pilgrimages) with incredulous hardships that took so many lives. A novel about faith and courage in the Old American West.
