Corvallis held its “”NEVER AGAIN” Hiroshima/Nagasaki Remembrance at the Starker Arts Park on August 7. I am sure it was very similar to other remembrances that were held over the last few days to commemorate the 63 anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There was an opportunity to fold cranes and decorate small paper sacks to float on the pond at the end of the evening. The cranes were part of the continuing project started by Sadako Sasaki and there were two stands that held a large number of prefolded cranes. I did not find out the number on these stands.
There was a reading of Hiroshima Mayor’s Proclamation by Sho Kimura followed by the Mayors’ Peace pledge by Mayor Charlie Tomlinson. Mayor Tomlinson followed this with the singing of the Mayors’ for Peace document adding Corvallis to the list of 128 cities in the USA that have joined.
