i am hrant, i am armenian

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Nuran,
just returned, met Serpil there with her family!
It was a great wake! I think there were 500 people there, standing in 
circles as in open space around a tree where there were pictures of Hran 
and torches and candles...and some speakers that used mostly Turk 
languages. I was touched. What a tragedy. What a waste.
It's so hard to say "Whatever happened...." in those moments.
Martin Luther King was mentioned, I just heard a speaker say his name.
I remember so well when he was murdered just a few miles down the road 
from where I was working and living then. What changes since then and so 
much till to do.
Leaving on Thursday to facilitate an open space for 130 mostly women and 
children on the topic of "Less government, more family!"...it will be a 
peaceful event...
Greetings from Berlin
the icewinds have taken hold of the city
