On the road again---
Got off work early in southern Illinois and hit the interstate within an hour.

Stopped now in Dayton for the evening. Will leave for DC area in early a.m.

Currently, we plan an early picket appearance on Saturday morning somewhere between the closest Metro station and the Lincoln Memorial. We will then ride the Metro to a point near Dunbar High School and, hopefully, join the "Reclaim the Dream" march at 11:00 a.m.

It would be great to run into some DU'ers. We will be identified as "Democratic Underground" promoters.

We brought bail money. Seriously.

1. I just found out that Reclaim the Dream organizers have sponsored busses from many cities
including the Detroit area. I'm going to try to go!!!!!!!

3. Thanks for your good wishes. No, I haven't moved. Have lived in Illinois 59
of my 61 years; in this county 35 years and in this house 21 years.

4. Wish I could join you!
But I know you'll do a good job representing DU--and you'll probably link up with other members there, too.

The march and the unveiling are going to be very special, and I'll look forward to hearing about your experience. With you in spirit...

Love & Peace,
pinboy3niner

5. Travel well Atticus
I mean safely, please. Til you get all the way back home.

Hope you don't need that bail money, but wonder if there's a recording of Dr King that might be downloaded and played loudly while in attendance.

I'll be thinking of you on Saturday.
