ESSAYS
by Judy Schultz
"An
Activist Organizer"- tells of the anti-CVS picketing
effort in Woodstock, and how Judy attempted to rally
the "troops" in the fall of 2002. She soon realized
that her enthusiasm for the cause had a limited effect,
and on only a few well-meaning supporters. Previously
unpublished.
"Collapsing
on the Picket Line" describes a typical picketing
day in front of CVS in Woodstock in late autumn 2002,
enlivened by Judy's collapse owing to chest pains,
and her subsequent difficulty obtaining aspirin from Cumberland
Farms (you don't think she'd go into CVS, do you?). Previously
unpublished.
