From Gudio Vermeulen:
>Dear Friends, Chers ami(e)s,
>
>To support family and friends of Marilyn Dammann, to express ourselves thru
>art and heart for the loss of someone we all love(d) and admire(d) , I
>propose to all of you to participate in this special tribute (English call
>followed again by French one)
>
>JUNE 26 : INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY TO HONOR
>
>MARILYN DAMMANN aka SHADOW
>
>
>
>Dear mail art friends and networkers,
>
>
>
>The friends and family of Marilyn Dammann are planning 2 activities as a
>tribute to Shadow:
>
>June 3 will be the opening of a tribute exhibition. This was already
>prepared and everyone hoped Marilyn would be present at the opening. Her
>sudden death on May 22 makes that her presence will be a spiritual one.
>
>June 26 will be a memorial day: friends and family will come together,
>drink a special wine that Marilyn made for this occasion (she was an
>excellent wine maker and prepared even a batch to drink to celebrate her
>life) and will walk in the woods to visit and alter some of Marilyn's earth
>sculptures. Marilyn loved making art with what she found in nature and she
>always invited visitors to alter these pieces that were already in a
>continuous process of change and transformation because of time and the
>natural elements. She called these actions "walking the pilgrimage path"
>
>Family and friends invited me to be present that day and participate but I
>cannot afford traveling for the moment. But this gave me the force and the
>inspiration to present this idea to the whole of the network:
>
>
>
>Let's turn June 26 into an international memory day for Marilyn Dammann.
>
>Let's all honor Shadow by creating art the 26th, doing a performance, write
>a poem, do a nature walk, choose the _expression_ you're most happy with ...
>
>Let's celebrate her life with joy, with love, light and magic; like she
>always did!
>
>I propose also you document (with text, images, photos, reports) what you
>do in the corner of your globe and mail me these.
>
>I'll unite all tributes and dispatch them as a whole to her close friends
>and family members in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and spread them again
>in the mail art network as a tribute of the mail art network to one of its
>members.
>
>So send your June 26 tributes for Shadow to:
