Paul,
I'll have to look for photos. But among those who were very active in
the anti-war movement are Gren Whitman, Karen Olson (still in CV), Dee
Ann Mims, Dean Pappas (lives in northwest suburbs), Vickie Pollard
(moved to Maine), Jo Ann Robinson (still in CV), Megan and Walter Shook
(now in Roland Park), Dave Greene (Megan's brother, ran for House of
Delegates in 43rd), and probably a bunch of others I cannot think of
right now. Some are still in CV or nearby.
Dave and Megan founded The Crack of Doom Coffeehouse on Maryland Ave.;
it was where there is now a Korean restaurant; I think that that is at
the southwest corner of 22nd or 23rd Street.
I'm not sure whether Brendan Walsh and his wife Willa Bickham (I'm not
sure of the spelling) lived in CV then, but they also were extremely
active in the Interfaith Peace Mission founded by Phil Berrigan.
Brendan and Willa run Viva House, a Catholic Worker effort to help the
poor and the down and out in South Baltimore. Also, the Peace Action
Center was located in a row house at the southeast corner of 26th and
Maryland.
Bill O'Connor, who died very recently, was very active with Phil
Berrigan, and I learned at Bill's memorial service that the napalm used
by the Catonsville 9 to burn draft files was mixed in Bill's basement.
His widow, Marilyn, is someone you definitely should interview and
still is in CV.
Steve.

Steve!
This is very interesting, and we would like to include it in the
Charles Village history book we are wrapping up...would you have any
photographs or other documents (flyers, etc) that could illustrate
these protests? I'd love to hear more about this aspect...
Paul
P.S. We are also interested in talking to others that might have
interesting stories or pictures that can be included in the book.
We've learned much about our neighborhood, and have documented a few
surprises along the way that we think will both delight and intrigue!
