You may have heard that my good friends Dick and Lois Gunther will be honored by
Americans for Peace Now next week in Los Angeles for their lifetime effort to advance peace between
Israelis and Palestinians.
Dick and I have been serving on the Board of Directors of APN for as long as I can remember. He and his wife
Lois have always impressed and inspired me, with their devotion to peace and social justice, with their staunch
support for Israeli democracy, for the values of justice, equality and peace that guided the founders of
the State of Israel, and for an ethical alliance between progressive Americans and their counterparts in
Israel.
I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award than Dick and Lois, and I am delighted that Congressman
Adam Schiff has agreed to be the guest speaker at the award luncheon on September 8th.
Please join me in honoring Lois and Dick and honoring the work APN
does day-in-and-day-out.
