Very sad on the passing of the kind & generous Peter Yarrow who I had pleasure to know during my @whyhunger career. As a middle school teacher I successfully used his renown anti-bullying program, Operation Respect. Sincere condolences to his family. @stubseyak @SteveScottNEWS
Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul and Mary fame, has died at age 86.
Peter was a supporter of @whyhunger, and stopped by WCBS Hungerthon in 2017. He was a nice man.
Best Wishes to Everyone for a Happy, Healthy, Safe & Productive New Year!!

Pres. Jimmy Carter had a life full of dedication to his family, country & many important causes he adopted. A man of peace & justice - a true role model for generations. RIP. 🇺🇸

During my earlier global financial career, I had distinct privilege/honor to meet Amb. Murphy at many events & I share James’ appreciation for his keen imparted insight & esteemed service to the US Dept. of State. 🇺🇸
One of the greats in the Foreign Service. I was part of a delegation he led to Libya in 2007, after he retired from State but was still involved. I recall a small dinner in Sebha. He was gracious and not only had good stories but also good questions.
