                     CATHEDRAL OF ST.JOHN THE DIVINE,

Dave, 88, who died this past May, spent his entire life in the struggle
for peace and social and economic justice. His commitment to nonviolent 
direct action for the many causes he was involved with placed him in the 
forefront of American radical pacifism. He was one of the defendants in 
the trial of the Chicago Seven during after the Democratic Convention of 
1968 as part of his leadership against the Vietnam war.

If you haven¹t read his book, "From Yale to Jail", you must!

Join in celebrating his life along with his family, Vernon Bellecourt,
Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, Tom Hayden, George Houser, Grace Paley, Leslie 
Cagan, Pete Seeger, Len Weinglass, Howard Zinn, Jay Craven, Michael 
Arnowit and others.

Contributions in his memory can be sent to the AJ Muste Memorial
Institute at 339 Lafayette St, NY 10012, earmarked for the Dave 
Dellinger Fund.
