An old friend and comrade, Gino Pepi, recently died. A memorial and celebration of his life is being held today. Gene was a great guy, and a true working class hero. Here is a link to a little video his son posted on YouTube, and the text of the invitation to the memorial celebration with a little bio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0WZPAGt8do Please join us celebrating the life of Eugene Pepi. There will be time for Speaking, Musical Performance & Dancing. A Special Gumbo will be served in Gino's honor as well as other small bites. Gino was born and raised in San Francisco. As a young man he became convinced of the need of an equal and just society, and dedicated his life to socialism and to the struggles of the working class internationally. He worked hard to enhance the living conditions of all Bay Area workers especially B.A.R.T workers, fought against racism and discrimination, defended immigrant workers and women’s rights, and participated in countless efforts to stop wars and environmental destruction. When Gino wasn't fighting tirelessly for the rights of the oppressed, he would dive deep into his other passions, Zydeco dancing and Photography. Through dance and music Gino made a long lasting group of friends that shared his joy and passion for the sounds of Louisiana. Gino enjoyed life to its fullest. He embraced all challenges with humor, honesty and with a strong sense of solidarity. We will remember you Gino. This city will remember you. Your friends, family and comrades will always remember you. There will be time for Speaking, Musical Performance,Dancing, and food. Please if you plan to Speak, Perform Music, etc. conatct me ahead of time so that we can make a schedule. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
