From Pam MacAlister:
At Judson Memorial Church today I joined many friends to celebrate the life of DAVID MCREYNOLDS (1929-2018). A gay radical pacifist, socialist, champion of peace, David had a passion for cats, community, plants (bromeliads), music, photography, cooking, life. I knew him to be gentle, generous, insightful. At his request, the program began with a recording of Bessie Smith singing “You’ve Been a Good Ole Wagon” (but you done broke down) and ended with Beethoven’s “9th” (Ode to Joy). Tears flowed freely as we stood to remember a life well lived. (Photo: David walking beside Grace Paley in a 1960s antiwar protest in D.C.)
