The Quakers - Gunnar Jahn Nobel Peace Prize 1947 & 1960 & some context

Ma, (All),

Thanks for our visit yesterday - and walk in the Robin Hill Park in Moon Township across the river from Sewickley, and Quaker Valley (and curiously I just noticed from 'Leetsdale'), on: 

the (Coventry) 
'Log Cabin, Christmas Fern, Ridgeback, East Beech on AllTrails'


Growing a new abolishing-the-wrongful-buying-and-selling-of-people movement, to protect people, takes time, and was worried about your possible 'acting' on your home's surveillance camera (above the oak chest) ??? saying abolition is scary, a couple of times, for a Longwood camera even possibly. (This abolition movement growing aligns with this thinking - 

"Friends Fiduciary is a Quaker-affiliated non-profit financial investment firm focused on the left-of-center Environmental, Social, Governance shareholder activism movement, or ESG. It is based in Philadelphia."





Ma, all, the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865 in the USA freed millions of people, and the civil rights' movement of the 1960s further helped formerly enslaved people legally, activism-wise, so culturally (or counter-culturally), in a way, especially. 

Thanks also for encouraging me to in effect call Ed Smyth MD and John Sargent MD LAST WEEK - and regarding my moving back into a newly safe Canyon 94516 on 9/1/23, and regarding what they said in the spring of 2022 about this. I left messages on their machines ... but am still a little bit in limbo about moving into 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 on 9/1/23. I may begin to look around to hire a moving company or similar (on Craigslist?) for my few pieces of furniture etc.


Thanks for the peaches yesterday as well.  


Love, abolition-ally, thank you, Scott 

PS
Glad to have emailed these out yesterday, Sunday June 25, with an invitation to please join if interested -

Again from a recent text message to you Ma - 

Undercover? soldier? international guard? symphony trumpet player co-denizen stephon owens was playing 'Bolero' with mute a bit on Thursday 6/22/23 evening and very briefly 'Taps' - and it makes me appreciate not taking you up on your offer of a free ticket to the PSO playing Bolero ~2 weeks  ago on Friday due to GRAVE concerns about the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and international organized crime in classical music and the illegal sex and drug internationally and their latent networks of violence - and as a symbolic signaling from possibly international law enforcement operator???, stephon owens  ... and that this possible risk - identification of me at the symphony - may have been the last serious risk, as head of Work MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch for me on this asylum journey from CA to PA ... What are you up to over the weekend ? Want to do something on Sunday? :) Sending love,❤️ Scott
