Hands Across the Seas, Part IV (Final Chapter)
Sarah sent us this photo from her beloved St. Ives last summer.
We had the privilege of meeting Sarah in person, once among
the snow-clad mountains of Norway and once in her home in
Rodmell, East Sussex. ~ Editor, Another World Is Possible.
In Memory of Sarah Meyer
Sarah Meyer of Rodmell, East Sussex, died of complications from bladder cancer shortly after 11:00 PM on 3rd March 2010. She was 73. Cremation service has been scheduled for 19th March. In accordance with her wish, ashes will be scattered at the Cornish Coast.
This is a tribute to Sarah, not a lament for her.
From anti-nuclear protest at Greenham Common in the 1980's to marching against the war foisted on us by Bush and Blair, Sarah was a valiant, dedicated fighter against aggression and injustice. In Bosnia, Sarah conducted homeopathic/Jungian clinics for doctors and psychiatrists in Zagreb and Split, as well as two in the war zone.
Her posts under Index Research covered a wide range of topics -- from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to torture; Guantanamo; intrusive surveillance of civilian populations; Israel's use of cluster bombs in Lebanon; war crimes, including use of white phosphorus shells in highly populated areas in Gaza; the environment, and her own experience of being afflicted with cancer.
