I'll be in Riverton, Casper, Meteetsee and all around where you are this summer. Denny tells me it is peaceful and quiet and lovely there. I promise not to disturb you, but if you think you might have a little time for me and Dale, could you drop me an e-mail? Sean Sister Helen,

Since then, Jimmy's parents, Barry and Margaret Mizen, have invested a lot of time and effort in helping to people to realise that violent solutions are never a way forward, and a short account of what they're doing appears on this link: http://www.jimmymizen.org/awareness-project Last month, a service was held in Westminster Cathedral entitled "Building a legacy of peace", for all victims of violence http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8670994.stm I hope that one day, you'll meet with this remarkable couple. I look forward to reading your forthcoming book, and I know it'll be stimulating! Peace and grace, Nigel Baldwin Portsmouth UK Dear Sister Helen,

It's the first time after I failed twelf years ago when my girlfriend, who first promissed so, refused to take me there. However my penfriend from that time is still alive, he doesn't want to meet anymore. After years I forgave my girlfriend, but however mentally ill, being on DR, I know I will see him in heaven. I am tired of all I can not change and all we do, it seems to be in vain for those being executed. How can some States abolish the DP and others do not. So it's not the LAW but what people think/feel about crime. This is what happened to Jesus: not guilty, but the system was in favor of his enemies. Now I have some more on DR and they too hope I will do something so it will stop. I can't and I know it is wrong and try not to hate people who keep this system going. I like some americans, but a lot I do not and I should. So I have to pray with you. Thanks for being there with all the human right fighters. Elizabeth This year I will visit prisoners in the USA.
