[PAA-Discuss] The passing of Carl Schaer

[Cheryl Crosier]

A longtime member of the Houston Peace News team has passed away. 
Lee Loe  is checking with Carl's church to determine if there is a 
scholarship fund for his fifteen year old son  and if so how the 
peace and justice community can contribute.

This is from the Houston Chronicle:
