About 80 people gathered at the Senior Center of Leesburg on November 11, Armistice Day, to celebrate the life of space historian Marsha Freeman. They included members of the Schiller Institute, non-members, and ex-members, as well as relatives and people who had only known her during her long bout with Parkinson’s at the end of her life. At the same time, it was a look back over her accomplishments as well as the accomplishments of the LaRouche organization over the past 50 years.
Freeman’s presence was palpable in the video clips that were shown of her speaking about the German space pioneers, the role of space in developing nations, fusion energy and the work of the Fusion Energy Foundation, founded by Lyndon LaRouche, and the legacy of Krafft Ehricke. I don’t think anyone left untouched by her continued presence among us.
