Remembering nostamj

[prolesunited]

I just got online today and saw the news about Jeff. I am so sorry for the loss of such a creative and committed voice.

In tribute, I just wanted to share a project that we had created together. It was my first interaction with Jeff. Prior to the Irag invasion, he had posted a collection of photos along with the words of "For What It's Worth."

I contacted him and asked him if I could make a Quicktime movie out of what he had put together. He was thrilled about the idea and happily assisted every step of the way. When it was done, he admitted that he had been feeling a little down as he helplessly listened to the drumbeat of war that surrounded us at the time.

The project we collaborated on lifted his spirit, he said, because it was a way of getting the message out in a way in which people could respond.

Here is the short that he was instrumental in creating:

Shortly after that, we met in D.C. for a war protest. We were both looking forward to meeting, but regrettably, the commotion of the day prevented us from talking at length. Jeff is in the right-hand corner in the 911 T-shirt.




I remember when we started exchanging messages about the "Question W Revue" that he was developing. He was certainly in his element as he channeled his talents and energy into exposing many of Bush's lies. Although it never realized commercial success (not that he cared or thought that it would), he was pleased with the audience reception and favorable reviews.

My thoughts are with him today and my condolences to his friends and family. We have lost a very kind, compassionate and creative messenger.

2. I remember that Quicktime movie.

I downloaded and installed QUicktime just so I could watch it. It lifted my spirits many a time.

Sigh,

7. Thanks

I am as well. We've already lost too many from our community. Their lives did make a difference, though, and we will carry their legacy forward. That is the most anyone can ask.

I cannot quite believe it..its just too much of a loss in this insane world. One voice of kindness and sanity, that will be missed more then I can put into words.
