Reply #10: He need to be remembered, he did so very much.

I became friends with Mitch thru letters in the mid-80's to his death in 1990, after hearing about his battle with Reagun admin. over homeless.

He was a caring, strong, determined and vocal advocate and activst for the homeless, being homeless himself, by choice.

He staged hunger strikes outside WH and fought with admin for better shelters, etc.

He supposedly took his own life in 1990. I'm not sure I believe it, but that was official word.

a good background site is : http://www.streetlevel.ca/biographies/Mitch_Snyder.htm

He was an amazing human being and I am so grateful that I had a chance to be just a small part of his life and to help him in a small way.

Peace to you and thanks for asking.
