22.01.21 WinB celebrating the 20th Anniversary
Richard and Rita, Bob and Susan, Hot Rod Mike, Jimmy Midnight, Lonesome George, Cathryn, Lucia and The Maine Paparazzi held the Women in Black weekly vigil on January 21, 2022 with signs and flags flying and vehicular passengers waving and honking on a beautiful, sunny, 10 degree wintry day. The wind that made the Veterans for Peace flag fly made Lucia seek shelter from the chilling wind behind her sign. Since I'm the photographer, I usually don't have my photo taken, but Richard agreed to shoot me.
