Action Events
On April 29th, 2019, the Keene Peace Vigil lost its oldest member. Jim Johnson: A WWII veteran; 98 years old; a Crusader for Peace* was lost. Since 2002, Jim became a founding member of the Keene Peace Vigil. To protest and help stop the war after war after war pattern of the U.S. Government, Jim would stand in Central Square every Saturday morning from 11 to 12 and carry signs to protest and help end wars.
To those who knew him and joined with him, this loss is painful, and always will be. But we hope his spirit will stay with us, and that we can live the peaceful life he did.

A letter to the editor in the Keene Sentinel by Jackie Clearly tells the story better than I ever could.
