‘Casey’ Cason was a member of the Christian Faith and Life Community.
In 1964 in Ottawa, I was a fundraiser for SNCC - the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. It went to voter registration support in Mississippi.
From ’66 to ’68, I was on the national executive of the SDS equivalent in Canada, the Student Union for Peace Action. In January of ’68, I attended the SDS conference in Chicago and visited 3444 West Congress Parkway.
In her bright coloured frock and apron, Joyce Townley took me on a tour. Her assignment was Property. She emptied the kitchen grease pit then took me to the basement where she used a hoist to get the garbage up to the street! I was sold.

Tom Hayden was one of the defendants — wasn’t he somewhat connected to the Christian Faith and Life Community in Austin? Also mention of the “Port Huron Statement” of the SDS — did Joe or someone help with writing that? Also several mentions of the “Cultural Revolution”. Police and protestor scenes were chilling ...Watched with daughter, son in law and grand daughter. I vaguely recall an evening going to Lincoln Park and sitting in on something about guerilla theater.Jim Wiegel_______________________________________________“We are all time travelers journeying into the future.
