Dear Friends and members of CASC,
Gerd Weih died after a short illness a week ago.He was
an active member of CASC for many years.
Gerd had a long and fruitful life. He healed many people
and brought hundreds of babies into o the world.
His commitment to social justice and peace in Latin America
took us from the jungles of Chiapas to elections in El Salvador to refugee
camps and clandestine meeting with Guatemalan resisters during the
war there. Gerd volunteered as a doctor in the Contra war zone in Nicaragua and
also picked coffee co-op there.
He was active in Tools for Peace and just before his death he
ordered and started to bag a fresh roast of CASC’s Cafe Simpatico – work that Tm
& I will continue.
I am fortunate to be surrounded by dear friends and
family who are caring for me at this difficult time.
By continuing to work... in social justice and solidarity
and renewing your efforts to make this a better world, you can express
your respect for Gerd’s life and support my efforts to continue the journey Gerd
& I set out on 37 years ago.
Terry Wolfwood
