In 1990
I founded a classical music movement that has turned mainly
to jazz today. You’ll learn
more about it at www.pacificartsassoc.org and there you may
see a sketch of The Vigil, a sculpture that inspired me to
call our peace-promoting movement “Vigil for Peace.”
Several
years ago a young lady, Christina Alexander, requested a
copy of my Peace Arch history essay that I had written toward
obtaining a master’s degree in the humanities.
Much to my delight, she combined it with additional materials
in order to create a documentary video, “The Peace Arch
Rises.” It
has been featured on the History Channel. Open www.peacearchpark.org and learn about seasonal art in Peace Arch State Park and the “Peace
Arch Anthem” that
she composed and sings while accompanying herself on the guitar.
