Remembering Sandy Hook Elementary and Nelson Mandela

Redeeming grief magnificently, Charles and Mary Leigh Blek continue to take up the prevention of gun violence, as we acknowledge the one year anniversary of the Newtown, CT shootings. They present a report card of state and federal legislation passed and pending. Legislative updates are available at www.smartgunlaws.org. Sat. December 14th, around California and the country, bells will toll for the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre. Information for the Orange County gathering is available at: orangecountybradychapter@gmail.com or 714-200-9676; for other venues around the country: www.bradycampaign.org or 650-863-3360. Moreover, we commemorate the life of Nelson Mandela, as well the work of Linda and Peter Biehl whose daughter Amy was killed 20 years ago in South Africa. Linda Biehl, who survives her husband, continues her work as co-founder and director of the Amy Biehl Foundation, an internationally supported organization transitioning toward local management. Information about Amy and the Foundation's charter and the outcomes is available at www.amybiehl.co.za or www.amybiehl.org Rest in peace, Madiba.
