Loraine, Wasn't Frank's passing even mentioned on KPFK, at least on the news? I sent that post to the KPFA news dept. and they ran a whole story at the end of yesterday's broadcast (including some archival tape they dug up from 1961). It's a damn shame there's so little institutional memory. I bet KPFK never mentioned Ellen Stern Harris either, even though she was a former programmer -- who would even remember?

I grew up around Frank as his son was among our group of friends at the Unitarian Youth group and the American Friends Service Committee during my pre-teen and early teen years. I still remember Frank's defense of a Korean immigrant who was under deportatin orders during the McCarty era. --- CraigGingold <gingold@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Okay, no more obituaries for a while -- I promise. > But when someone > who played such an indispensable role in battling > for free speech and > against government abuses passes on, they must be > saluted. > > Frank Wilkinson was a favorite guest on the Pacifica > Radio stations > for many years.
