Having grown up (ok, I was well into the growing up stage by the time they debuted ) listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary (and the myriad other wonderful folk singers of that era), I spent many hours enjoying their music and still do, as my youngest two children find so many of their songs to be fun to learn and sing (and, at times, to learn from).
May her memory be eternal.
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
I knew a gentleman once who had worked as a waiter in a high-end restaurant, and had occasion to serve a number of celebrities. He told me that of all the celebrities he had ever met, none was so gracious and down-to-earth as Mary Travers.
I feel like a member of my family has died. So many memories! In 1995 Mary called my 5 year old daughter up on stage to dance with her, something I will never forget on a muggy moonlit summers night. There was always something almost spiritual about P P & M, a time when we listened and hopefully learned. She will be greatly missed May her memory be eternal!
