Poetic Obituaries: Where most people, myself included, decried

the invasion of Iraq, perhaps taking pride in early condemning it, Bob [Potter] was on State Street every Saturday, marching. Among other activities, he was a great friend of the profound Arlington West Memorial, offering both physical support and words in a moving poem about ". . . the crosses and the grizzled veterans/Who tend them like a flowered garden of regret."

It may indeed be impossible to separate Bob Potter from his many activisms.

from Santa Barbara Independent: Bob Potter, 1934-2010
