From entertaining us as children to helping make us better adults, you were one of the good guys.
The CNN obituary (linked below) had a great quote of hers:
"We've learned that it will take more than one generation to bring about change," Travers once said. "The fight for civil rights has developed into a broader concern for human rights, and that encompasses a great many people and countries. Those of us who live in a democracy have a responsibility to be the voice for those whose voices are stilled."
An important reminder of the responsibility we all have to help make things better. Mary, I hope somewhere it’s now your turn to frolic in the autumn mist…

hearing the songs of Peter Paul & Mary will always bring back memories of growing up in the 70s....and a special one of shopping with my mom at the old Klein's bookstore for the album with "Puff the Magic Dragon". I can still see my mom with her dippity do fashioned hairstyle a la the other great Mary (Tyler Moore) of my childhood memories.
