I lost my father and my mother-in-law this week, and with Mary's passing, another piece of me has been taken. I grew up in the 60's and early 70's, singing PPM songs on school buses, church buses, in the car, in my head, anywhere I could. I now keep PPM CD's in my classroom for my students to listen and learn. PPM's music is my ultimate music of choice, and it has been put on pause forever. My life has been molded by the sentiments and strength of their music to work towards peace and justice. Mary Travers was courageous,her voice bold, and her heart gentle. I will miss her as I miss family.
