The first person I called and asked to join the Board of The Middle East Children's Alliance in 1988 was Pete Seeger. Not only did he join but one year later Pete, Marcel Halife, Holly Near,and Ronnie Gilbert came to Berkeley and performed at the Berkeley Community Theatre.  The theatre was packed and all 3200 seats were filled this was the beginning of a 25 year friendship that I will always treasure. I miss you Pete.
