     I miss Peter DeMott; a friend to me and to all humanity.
     I remember washing dishes with Peter.  I remember his gentle presence at protests, prayers, parties, and poetry readings.  He was relentless in demanding and creating a just, nonviolent, nuclear free community here and around the world.  Peter put his hand on the gospel plow,  living out the non-violent love taught by Jesus.
     Peter left us in 2009, but his spirit and example are needed now more than ever.  And so, the annual Peter De Mott Peace Trot will proceed, in a format modified but uncancelled by the pandemic.   
     I invite you to join the Ithaca Catholic Worker as we remember and emulate Peter this year.  You can register to run, walk, or donate at peterdemottpeacetrot.org.  We still intend to build a new world in the shell of the old.  Plus there's a nifty T shirt.
     Those who have gone before us can help us by their example, if we will remember it.  We could use all the help we can get right now.
