PECORE, ALLIE MARIE AND CURTIS G. IN MEMORY OF MY BEAUTIFUL PARENTS Allie Marie Pecore (1916-1998) and Curtis G. Pecore (1913-1967) Fifty ways to end poverty: #34 - The joy and laughter of a peaceful existence in our country and the world, is continually being shattered by an unending parade of violence, that presents itself in every size and shape imaginable. An accompaniment to this is a philosophy of 'the need to know, the need to make things happen,' 'the high price of freedom,' and an ever-flourishing 'uncle Tom's cabin' mentality. This is not freedom, folks. This is programmed and provoked barbarism, that promotes unnecessary human suffering and is a danger and detriment to all... From their loving family and many friends...Mary Ann, David, Tamara and Shawn, Trisha, Tara, Linda, Mary, Wm. and Bede Dwyer and families, Chris and Robert Romero of 46th St. SW and families... Great-grandchildren: Tara and Erik's: Kara and Tim Tammy and Shawn's: Sierra Rose and Slade
