Family remembers Vietnam ix years ago, after years of struggle, the Vietnam War ended. To many, the war was a distant thing which touched their lives only when their hands touched the morning pa- per. The news media told the war's story to millions of Americans, and, when the war ended, and the story ended, the people promptly forgot about Vietnam. Some people, however, have not forgotten. Families of American citi- zens who are missing in Vietnam, and the friends of these families, still feel the vast desolation the war caused. Andrea and Lisa Free are two such people. Along with the rest of their family, they are members of the Na- tional Human Rights Committee of Walden. lr'I'41rnl' llnonx- Tzimrnxi' llruzz- lnhn CI.llx'A'rt Cmnt lloyd Ann Brisfgvr Louis flapozznli Rnyninntl llnyvr ldll'X0l1 llroln Donn.: Clappnrllo lvlarnf llmrzh Eugene llruwn lmsliu Llarmmiu Ginger llrztnl Iohn Brown Mir:harilCn1'i1l1m The National Human Rights Com- mittee was co-founded by George Brooks, a man whose son has been missing for ten years. It is an organi- zation for veterans and all interested citizens who are fighting to return the MlA's and POW's: who are fighting to return the men who once fought for us. Hlt's really dumb. There's over 2000 American citizens missing, not all sol- diers, and no one's looking for them, Andrea said, summing up the feelings of the organization. The group demonstrates its feelings by holding rallies in New York and Washington. On October 29, 1978, the Walden chapter of the National Human Rights Committee joined with other such or- Iohn f.dl'lIllI llniiglast.1.1rrlulln Stvpliuiilm- Lull- l'utl'u:lz1Catvr l'.n1ltIl1'x'm'l.iml Marion llonlxlin Ilhtirlvmf Cvrilln Rhonda iloburn l.niwsKlnr1rny lllmrlses Cnrillo l'lllz.1l1vIh llotldington IJ.zrrl'n llonlk CIh.1rlresChar:n- 'l'1lnulhy Clmlslingtnni NV1lllznn Illmpvx' ganizations from all over the country, and marched on Washington. We marched through Washington to Lafayette Park. We held a demon- stration in front of the White House and held up a long strip of paper with the name of every POW or MIA writ- ten on it.'i Does the group get results? They wouldn't even talk to us, Andrea con- tinued. But the sisters feel that 'fthe only way to accomplish anything is to have the public interested. If not interested, at least the public was forced to remember the men who fought in Vietnam, and did not return. The march was broadcast on several different news programs and posted in papers across the country. For many, any consideration of Vietnam ended with the war. But some people still remember. 5 it 'A v gt: ff U 'hai S-J Aiirlrnui tlullvn D-lflllfl fll'f1Wl1'5 km in Dux is' Lmllg C0111-11 l'lllZdlJI!lll flunninglimn lll'llml.iD.n1s Mlt,li.lvllImgt'l1 l1gf1Dl'Xni-mi llnllylJ.1x'xs 515,111 fjmmu-1-ll Il'lkl'l'I'y llrunlnl I' l3on.iltl Dvrikvr Donald Crosby ll-irl D.irrigo Susan IJ:-ckz-r IUNIORS 143

They found four chairs, pushed them together, and almost simultaneously, sat down in them. To people who had never met the four girls, it would be obvious that they are close friends. The four girls are in track: spring track, winter track, x-country. Sue spoke up for the girls at first. We started running in track in the ninth grade, but, she nodded toward lean, she's been into it since she was little. The girls first became involved in track as freshmen because it was Hsomething to do to keep in shapef' Continued on p. 146 a Cm-til Iluttghmgim Stephen Kaczmar Ruger Kennedy Eric Intlznnkzi Larraini: Kalclon Karen Kline Robin Iennings Kathleen Kant- Charles Knight Diane lay lohn Katonah Lynn Knupp Michael june Tracy Kumble Ann Kopuskifr IUNIORS 145
