Please do ask your local bookstore to carry this title. That will help the wider distribution of Peter's book.

DVD of the Memorial
The DVD of the Memorial is available. It is in three high quality dvd's. We had thought that we might edit it, but that project was too time consuming.
Those that would like a copy should contact Peter's brother, Dan Ratner, at
peterdvd@lovetohack.org
and he will give you further details. The dvd's will be essentially at cost plus shipping, but the cost depends on how many people want the dvd set. Because of the high quality, depending on the number of requests, they may have to be commercially copied.
If you're interested in the dvd set, please let Dan know as soon as possible.

More books by Peter
Here are three books by Peter that were made available at the Memorial. We'd like to offer them here at the special price of $5.00 each, for those of you who were unable to attend the Memorial or who neglected to get the books there. Shipping will be a total of $3.00, no matter how many you buy.
We have larger quantities of some. For those who can use a quantity in their political work, please let me know. We would like these books to get out, and as you know political books often lose their topicality after a while.

Articles on the Memorial and on Peter
I am just realizing that we never sent out a report on the Memorial for those of you that couldn't attend. Both the Memorial and the social afterward were very well attended. Rather than doing something now, I will offer some links to articles on the Memorial and on Peter. There were of course many more.
Time Magazine article on Peter by Ralph Nader
Berkeley Daily Planet article by Sharon Peterson
Claudette Bégin article in Against the Current
Barry Sheppard article in Against the Current

Pictures of the Memorial
Some of you that were able to attend the Memorial for Peter took pictures there. We were unable to take any, and would love to have some. If you'd like to share, please send them to
achis@igc.org
Thanks!

Having recently joined Facebook, it looks like this may be another way to spread the word about Peter's book. However we have very few Facebook friends. But some of you have more friends there than the number of people on this list! If you think it appropriate, please let your friends know about Peter's memoir. If you want a link, this message will also be posted to the blog we started for Peter, link below. Although the blog too won't continue, it will be up for a while, so that those who would like to share a link, or those who lose this email message, will have something to refer to.

Last message
This will be the last message from this list. We want to thank all of you who have helped! As you may know we had to go to a commercial list distribution service to successfully reach everyone who wanted to be kept informed. Although Constant Contact is an excellent system, we have only been keeping our account open until we were able to tell everyone the details on Peter's memoir and the dvd of the memorial. That is now done.
If there are any questions, you can of course write us at
achis@igc.org
and we will help as we can.
Goodbye,
Alex & Claudette
