Chuck Grimes ------------ I was asked about Doris Brin Walker and Ann Gagan Ginger today, and I had completely forgotten them. I didn't know them. They were two radical Berkeley lawyers who made important contributions to civil rights, human rights, keeping government honest, stopping the endless stream of legal and physical abuse coming from the state, etc. They were very active in 60s rad politics here.

^^^^^ CB: Thanks very much for this , Chuck.

Good news ! Ann is still alive ! (smile). If you get a chance, I'm sure she'd be glad to meet you.

Doris died about a month ago.
