Focalizer Of Griffith Park Love-ins Passes Away

Recently I was saddened to find out that my ex-comrade Cleo Knight who was the founder of Green Power...passed on to the big love-in in the sky.... Cleo and Green Power focalized the Griffith Park love-ins and we also gave out free food to the Freex.... we would provide free food at the antiwar protests...we also had a free store near Venice Beach... I first met Cleo in 1967 at the age of 17 at one of the Sunset Srip protests...soon i would touch base with him via the art of hitchhiking...the brother driving either a Chevy with the words, "green power" painted on the door, a 1958 Citroen or a 1949 green Plymouth station wagon packed w/loaves of bread always found room for hitchhikers.

Yeah - after what, 45 years (?); I find Cleo's picture on Google. And he has passed. But he has not been too far distant to me, in my mind and thinking for all these years. When I was 16 (or so)m he came knocking onmymothers door looking for me because I was printing an underground newspaper at the time and he needed some help to print leaflets. So happy, so self-aborbed in the politics of the day - how could I ever refuse such a request and so it was. And he fed everyone down on the Boardwalk, so easily with so little. God bless you Cleo - you turned my road and i have been ever so grateful to you all these years for feeding us during my hardships and soulfull awakenings down in Venice, down by the sand, by the water... I don't know about this "hip forum" - but my fingers can type in these words for you - where ever you are in the Universe. _/\_ tony from 1010
