R.I.P. Pete

Today we lost Pete Seeger, one of the great environmentalists of several generations. Just as the "STEM to STEAM" bandwagon is making its rounds, we remember decades of Pete's work, using music in the service of environmental education, especially in his beloved Hudson River Valley.

The notes on the YouTube post include a lovely tribute.

A couple of days after Pete's death, I heard this lovely short story about one of his last acts of grace. 

2021 update: Perhaps because I posted this while my mother was still alive, I did not take note of the fact that Pete Seeger's birth in 1919 was on the same date as that of my grandfather (1925) and my mother (1943), and one day before my own (1963).
