1. And then there was Pete, the environmentalist.

Thanks for this. It touched me. I've learned a lot more about Pete Seeger since he died. He was quite a guy and made and will make a lasting impression.

2. So do I. It's like a cathedral.

4. Me, too.

But I come from the People of the Forest (Central Europe). Maybe it's genetic.

she`ll be welcoming him home with smile on her face and a hug for what he has done for her and her children.

9. Pete practically lived in the woods.

His home in Beacon overlooks the Great Hudson River near Cold Spring, NY. It's on the side of a great hill, and across the river are more mountains.

I do believe I have heard him say that though, and I couldn't agree with him more.
