Subject: Neil Cherry to Visit the United States
Dear Roy Beavers:
This is a preliminary announcement, however, it is worth getting the
word out. Dr. Neil Cherry will be coming to the United States under our
sponsorship to attend a conference on cellular antennas in the Boston
area on March 14 and another conference in San Francisco on March 21.
Dr. Cherry will be familiar to many of your correspondents but for those
who may not know the name, after a period of educating myself on the
issue of cellular and other microwave antenna exposures, such as those
experienced so heart-breakingly by the families in Georgia, I consider
Dr. Cherry one of the leading experts on the health effects of these
exposures.
I must admit, in the spirit of full disclosure, that I am one of the
organizers of Dr. Cherry's visit, as well as the conference in San
Francisco. I am going to do my best to organize the conference but we
essentially have no money and I have no experience at organizing
conferences. Perfect credentials for trying to change our national
telecommunication policy. As my partner, Judy Irving, and I always say
to each other: "Dare to be a Novice." Unlike PacBell's hired scientist
in our area, Dr. Jerrold Bushberg, I hereby declare that I have no ties
to the cellular phone industry.
I will do my best to organize our conference and Dr. Cherry's visit. It
may not be perfect. But Dr. Cherry will definitely be available for news
and radio telephone interviews if people in other areas of the country
would like to arrange them...including All Things Considered, etc.
Remember the people in Georgia ...
and make the call on their behalf and on behalf of your own situation to
your local or national station to set up an interview. I ask everyone's
tolerance if we are not as organized as a big sales conference but
that's not who we are. We will do everything we can.
I hope to have more concrete details within a week. We have not yet
determined the exact location or schedule for the San Francisco
conference, but rest assured, it will take place Saturday March 21 in
San Francisco. Dr. Cherry's voice will be added to our city-wide,
nation-wide, and international debate on the health and safety of
microwave transmission antennas.
Dr. Cherry is already scheduled to appear on Michael Krasny's wonderful
show, "Forum," on public radio from KQED in San Francisco. The date is
May 19th; Dr. Cherry is set for a panel that starts at 10:00. Appearing
with him will be Nancy Evans, of The Breast Cancer Fund and co-producer,
with Irving Saraf and Allie Light, of the feature documentary, "Rachel's
Daughters." I don't know how well-distributed Krasny's show is but if it
isn't, people should request it from their local public radio station.
May I also say that my personal theme for the San Francisco conference
is taken from the concerns of several people who recently wrote notes to
your forum. I think of the conference as "Antenna Free Zones,
Protecting your neighborhoods and your families from the hazards of
microwave antennas." We shall see how our loosely-knit group (my
favorite kind) decides to name the conference in formal terms, but
that's my contribution.
One final note: I always hate the part where people ask for
contributions. It's like the bad news after something great, like when
they tell you that high-definition tv will produce a big, beautiful
picture and then, clunk, the other shoe hits the floor and you discover
that this will mean amping up tv antenna exposures many times over. But,
if people wish to take advantage of Dr. Cherry's visit, I would ask that
they help share part of the cost of bringing Dr. Cherry to the US.
Otherwise, it's a matter between me and my chargecard. I'm not
complaining, honestly. I'm proud to do it, but you know how it goes...we
should be as responsible for one another as we would hope the
manufacturers of our electromagnetic environment will eventually become.
Thank you, Roy Beavers, for lighting that one candle. We hope to
contribute another candle to join with yours.
Best regards, Christopher Beaver ... on behalf of the families of Noe
Valley in San Francisco.
