<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-family: arial;">Happy birthday to my movement brother!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me share a little story. In December 2012, Harris and I were seat mates on an early morning departure/late night return bus to Boston for an environmental march and rally. It was cold. We marched through a shopping district and got a lot of stares. Maeve McBride was one of the speakers. Food was served -- food that was scrounged from food that had been thrown out by restaurants.and grocery stores. Harris and I both ate it, and it was delicious. It was a long, amazing day. That was when we decided we were brother and sister in the cause.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Harris never gives up working for a better world! Plus, I think he's been in our choir longer than any of the rest of us. He's a great bass, a great citizen of the world, and I hope he has a great birthday!</div>
