Letter to the editor: Grassroots work can keep you young
Kudos to Charles Spanger for his recent letter to the editor (Aug. 26). Spanger takes issue with the comments of longtime grassroots activist Stephen J. Lyons, who wrote a syndicated Chicago Tribune commentary stating that, because of his age, he no longer has responsibility to work for issues of peace and social justice. As a […]
