When I think back to when I was about 8 years old singing songs around the campfire the song I remember singing the most was "500 Miles" by Peter, Paul and Mary. And today it comes on the news that Mary Travers lost her fight against Leukemia today. She passed from side effects from a bone marrow transplant that was part of that fight. She lived a full life and performed at legendary venues. They performed "If I Had a Hammer" at the 1963 march on Washington where Dr Martin Luther King gave his I have a dream speech. An event that she could put on her resume and show the God's that she lived a life that gave back to the world. I for one will be mourning her passing today.
