    Challanges and Opportunities
    Two words - Global Security. Wow, it's such a massive statement. To be a part of such an enormity I am humbled to a profound still gaze, to just be thinking of the topic. Wish I could go but I have a costal issue, I'm on the wrong one. I thought on the song selection you might choose and quickly humored, I said, Dire Wolf might work. So then others came to mind like...Masters of War by Dylan, yep, it's too bad but there's a need for it. And Bless your darlin' hearts for being there for it. ---------------{------@ Still 1st and best by me. Peace, love and music are all wonderful in and of themselves however paired with Global Security a limelight for sure. Maybe, Lady with a Fan might bring...some comfort there? Lovingkindness for ALL mankind from my keyboard today; but I'm ready if someone chooses differently- are you? In Great Lovingkindness, SherBear PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL X~~~~~~~~~~~~ DON'T TREAD ON ME.

    NO NUKES
    Ive got a great book by Jay Blakesberg called Between The Dark And The Light. Inside it there are many great photos of the Grateful Dead and all its members he took photos of over his times as Deadhead, There some great Photos on page 21 of Bob Weir and the first photos of the Grateful Dead's new Key board player that replaced the almighty Keith Godchaux after his departure do to personal illness and person problems, this was the first time the fans seen pictures of his replacement Brent Mydland! Bob and Brent were attending a No Nukes rally in Washington D.C.on May 9th 1979. It seems Bob has always been lending himself to help great causes that work to save us all!! And now hes still doing it all these years later!! We all thank you Bob for all you gave and done for us all over the years!! We cant wait to see you and Phil and all with Furthur tour in New York in December. We always travel to see you and the bands as much as we can, Dead to the core as always!. Thanks so much for all you do !! Craig DarkStarr1971
