City senior wrangles Cuba caravan
Pastors for Peace stop along nationwide tour

If you're in downtown Concord on Monday, you might see a bus with an unusual paint job, the calling card of a nonprofit group that's traveling to Cuba with humanitarian aid.

Pastors for Peace will stop in Concord as part of a nationwide caravan to educate people about Cuban culture and advocate for changes in the U.S. foreign policy toward the island nation.

Arranging the group's Concord appearance is the latest in a lifetime of social justice projects for Irene Irving, who lives at Havenwood-Heritage Heights. She watched her grandmother serve supper to vagabonds, marched for peace during the Vietnam War and worked for the United Way. When Irving was in her 80s, she traveled twice to Cuba on fact-finding missions for Pastors for Peace.

"You never know what a country is like until you go there," said Irving, who's now 90.

2. "You never know what a country is like until you go there" - Imagine that.

Phooey! What does Irene Irving know?
If you want to know everything about Cuba, like DU's contingent of anti Cuba "experts"do, all you need is info from Richard Mellon Scaife funded foundations. EVERYBODY knows that.
