[Occupymendocino] Anne Feeney - RIP

[Richard Karch]

Hi Mary, 
Thanks for sending this.  We had a fun time meeting her way back at the Occupy concert.  She was a favorite of local activist Dave Nova, who provided a nice donation to help secure her.  She had a lot of energy and maybe was the last of one of the pure concerted activist singers in the Woody Guthrie style.  
Richard for Occupy.

PS: We loved the newspaper coverage we had from your great article.
