We gathered Saturday, April 12 at 2:00 at Faith Presbyterian in Austin. The service, which lasted an hour and a half, featured many individuals who knew Charles over the years, mainly in the last 20 or so years. I quoted from several of your posts in my witness about Charles. We learned that Charles had been interviewed by 60 Minutes in the 90’s over the death penalty and given the Ghandi award by the Austin Chronicle. Pat was there with Guy and Steve, as was Barbara his present wife. Unfortunately Pat and Steve had to go immediately following the service and we did not get to talk with them for long. We did get to do a little catching up with Guy. Your colleagues representing you were Tim and Susan Wegner, who drove up from Houston, Mary Hampton, Sarah Buss, Terrance and Diann, who came up from San Marcos, Steve Bryant and his wife from Nashville, and Wanda and myself. Picture below does not include Sarah Buss or Steve Bryant who left earlier from the reception following the service. There is 4 page pdf of the bulletin below. George Holcombe 14900 Yellowleaf Tr.

*MON Jul 07* The Marchers wanted to get on the March at sunrise so they could finish the March before it got too hot. We circled up and got out by 6:15 AM! Mack had been riding John J’s bike around camp so I had difficulty keeping my equipment on it. Since I’d adjusted the seat on my bike I decided to try it out. That gave Izzy a chance to ride John J’s bike. We left Bartley, NE at sunrise—6:15AM. I stopped for cocoa in Cambridge, NE, and got to Holbrook City Park at 10 AM, a 17 mi. ride. Holbrook had a city park right next to Hwy 34. It was a town of 1000 people but it only had one restaurant. Izzy made arrangements for us to play at 8 PM. Dinner wasn’t on time so we had a late dinner. After dinner there was a camp meeting scheduled. The Gypsy Band had to change its schedule to 8:30 and skip the camp meeting. Ed was present at the meeting so we missed what he said. They got along without us and apparently we didn’t miss much. There were several men at the restaurant/bar—but there was no one there for a meal. It was, once again, a good time to practice. We got back to camp about 9:30. I went to bed because I’m on breakfast prep again at 4 AM. -- Peace, David

Final draft for Charles' Memorial Service
by George Holcombe via Dialogue 13 Jul '14

The emails have kept coming in and I must now get ready for the service this afternoon. This is the final one. I hope it’s OK for everyone. My gmail account has been acting strange, sending emails to other boxes even putting some in spam, even after initiating all over again. I’m sending this in both MSWord and PDF, since some reported difficulties with the MSWord doc. We’ll try and send pics and other comments from the service this afternoon.

Woke up in the night thinking about those of you who will stand together at the funeral for Charles. And remembering when JWM was very ill, I heard he said he would wait for us all at the pearly gates, so we could all march in together. A touching image to think of all our colleagues hanging out there together awaiting the rest of us. Appreciating those of you who will attend the funeral and stand together in memory of Charles.

I have placed a web page on Charles Moore here: http://wiki.wedgeblade.net/bin/view/Main/CharlesMoore Most of the material is drawn from remembrances compiled by George Holcomb primarily from these mailing lists. If you have additional material, I suggest you send it to George (grholcombe(a)gmail.com) I will update the page accordingly with what George compiles. Susan and and I plan to drive to Austin for the memorial service. Tim Wegner PS - The remembrances pages at wiki.wedgeblade.net are somewhat random in who is included. Mostly it's a matter of someone compiling the information. Anyone willing to compile such information about someone is welcome to do so and post the information, or send it to me.

Does anyone have a PDF of the Congolese Cross that I could use on the cover page of all your witnesses to Charles Moore? George Holcombe 14900 Yellowleaf Tr.

Dear Climate March Colleagues, SUN Jul 06 I got up late—4:20am. The group had decided at yesterday evening’s meeting that Sunday morning would be a morning of silence. After things were put away some of the Marchers went to the RR station to protest the hauling of petroleum products in tankers. When they returned Izzy said he was riding a bike today. So we set off together. I rode John J’s bicycle again. The seat on an upright bike is quite a bit different. Izzy and I rode 11 miles and stopped at Indianola, NE expecting that it had WiFi and John A, driving the kitchen truck, would bring our computers. He went right on by. I went on to Bartley, NE, another 5 mi. The food truck was at the community park, but the cab was locked. Eventually John J arrived in the Gear truck. He discovered that John A was in the Community Center across the street from the park. I got the key, got the computer, and went to the Community Center to do some journaling. It was nice being in the Community Center because it was air-conditioned. The temperature outside was about 90º. We had permission to sleep in the Community Center so I brought my sleeping gear in. I opened up the big tent that got wet last night from the sprinkler and spread it out to dry. I also adjusted the seat on my bike. I raised the back so it was straighter up and down. I also put a cushion on the bottom seat. Hopefully that will force me to sit upright and keep my tailbone off from the bottom of the seat. There was no camp conversation before, during, or after dinner. Izzy arranged for the Gypsy Band to play at the American Legion Hall just down the street. I took my bass and amp down to play with them. We were the only ones there: no Marchers; no residents from the town. It gave us a good time to practice. The band affirmed the contribution the bass is making to the band. I need to have paper copies of everything we play with the chords marked so I can practice. We finished about 9 PM. Peace, David
