We were a small group this morning. Per recent trends, we veered into an eatery, this time Tom's on Chavez / Division. A lot of our focus was geographic, the LA area.
George Hammond was teaching chemistry at CalTech. He would later join Wanderers meetings at the Linus Pauling House on Hawthorne.
He was married to Eve Menger, of Multnomah Monthly Meeting, and daughter of Karl Menger, whom I never met, but whose mathematics I cite sometimes.
Jon Bunce had played with the Shaggy Gorillas (minus one Buffalo Fish), a comedy troupe (mentioned herein). He and Steve remembered some clubs, Steve the poor grad student, worked with Hammond.
During the meeting, I mentioned my "true Russian novel" motif again, for these blogs, a playful oxymoron ("true novel"). I also play with "Russian" quite a bit.
Speaking of which, at Tom's I explained about the genre of training film I'm envisioning, that explains aspects of capitalism in exquisite detail (better than you've usually seen) so that those coming to assist might have more empathy and compassion for its many types of victim. We could dub into English, serve on Youtube.
The AFSC work camp idea grew out of the CO movement ("conscientious objectors"), when civilians had fewer service opportunities. During the civil rights movement, the work camp became a way to compare notes across schools and ethnicities. Some exciting work in diplomacy was going on in parallel.
I'm not saying we can turn back the clock. Given today's miniaturized components, a "work camp" might be more like a dispersed affiliation of anarcho-bosses drawn together by a spiritual practice or sport. Look at FNB for example: urban based, not headquartered anywhere, chaordic (like Visa).
