Hay https://bill-horne.net/2020/06/15/posterizing-a-license-plate-a-fundraiser-for-nicas-in-exile/#comment-13600 Wed, 18 Oct 2023 18:48:37 +0000 http://bill-horne.net/?p=2469#comment-13600 Hello Bill (and Claire) I did finally get to your web site and am anxious for next Wednesday when I can pick up my memento plate from you.
I was particularly happy to see Randy is an old solidarity fellow from the days of the Revolution. I wonder how many of us there are that have those memories. I see Randy on f.b. as a Site C opposer, like me and 47 of us who took that amazing bus trip up to the paddle. But so see Randy as one of us, who spent time in Nicaragua, the brotherhood/sisterhood just gets richer and richer.
I was in my early forties when I was there, first in 86/87 for 3 months, then in 1989 to 1991 and worked in the street kids school, the women’s centres in a couple barrios, and supporting a farm co-op on Ometepe from where we purchase their crops annually.
I met so many wonderful folks who made major life changes to go there in the 80’s from all over the planet.
That was a very rich part of my life and I am so delighted to get a memento from Bill and Claire of my time there, and to make a small contribution to our friends in exile.
Warmest regards and solidarity with the people,
~~Barbara

I have been following your admirable solidarity with Nicaraguans in this difficult time. I am putting the finishing touches on a book, They Changed the World: Tales from a Generation’s Quest for Peace and Justice. It includes a section from my years of living and working in Nicaragua about mostly unknown but memorable characters with whose stories I think you will relate, along with stories about U.S., Canadian, and Latin American activists who have pursued progressive social change across the hemisphere over the past half century. If you are interested give me an email contact and I will put you on the publication launch announcement list.
Congrats on your dedication and accomplishments.

Hi Robert – nice to hear from you! Yes, I do have that winter panorama (brrr!) and can stretch it and frame it with fir that’s very similar to the other two that you have, if you like. Light weight and easy to mail 😉
I will follow up with more details via email…

Welcome to Victoria!
I am touching bases and just saying “hi” as I see that you are (so far!) the other art exhibit at the Joint entomological conference in Vancouver in November. I was so excited when I saw the theme. I am an entomologist and several members of my family are artists that have incorporated insects into various aspects of their art–be it acrylics, lino-cuts, silk painting or wall murals who agreed that this would be a great juxtaposition of the two.
Looking forward to seeing you there or in your new studio sooner than that.
Cheers,
Leah Ramsay

Thanks. I picked mostly plants that were close to where I lived at the time.

Curious how you selected the plants you worked with.

I hope this note finds you well. I don’t know if you remember me but we went to high school together (and you saved my bacon on at least one occasion!). I was talking with mutual friend PCA today, who said you now live on the Penninsula. I live in Central Saanich. Would you like to have a visit? No pressure … GV
