As the author and registered owner of this site, his purpose is to preserve an important slice of the history of the grassroots peace movement in the US over the past decade. He is maintaining this historical archive as a service to the greater peace movement, and to the many friends of Traprock Peace Center. Blogs have been consolidated and the calendar has been archived for security reasons; all other links remain the same, and virtually all blog content remains intact. THIS SITE NO LONGER REFLECTS THE CURRENT AND ONGOING WORK OF TRAPROCK PEACE CENTER, which has reorganized its board and moved to Greenfield, Mass. To contact Traprock Peace Center, call 413-773-7427 or visit its site. Charles Jenks is posting new material to PeaceJournal.org, a multimedia blog and resource center.

Re: the Peace Symbol

Charlie,
My personal peace "symbol" is that of a turtle dragging a peace
sign(no guessing about the symblism)...I have it tatooed on my arm, and I
had some drums custom made with it inlaid in turquoise, and(yes there is a
point to this chatter) I am sending you this photo of my backyard version
of it...this is 35 feet long, and made of limestone fossil rock...the small
airplanes that fly around Baton Rouge often pass over it, and it is probably
a reference point for them...I personally hope that the aliens notice it when
they pass by ( :>) )....haha...oh well, just another picture for your site
if you want it...I built it 10 years ago, and my wife uses it for an herb
garden....Peace from Ward
