Virginia Lynn "Ginny" Smith

Ginny lives on in my memory as well. I never hear the Youngbloods song without thinking of her, even 56 years later! My sister just sent me a photo of a protest sign a friend made for a rally in Sacramento this weekend. The reference to the song immediately brought Ginny to mind. The power of a great song in action. 

Full disclosure ... this isn't exactly what the sign said. I chose to edit the sentiment so as not to offend anyone who disagrees with this person's (and my) politics - and because working together to try to love one another is never a bad goal no matter where you are on the political spectrum. You are not forgotten, Ginny.
