THEY MEET AGAIN (via Bryan Francoeur):
Activist nuns return to missile silo (AP, 4/05/06)
Three pacifist nuns who were jailed for an October 2002 protest at a missile silo returned to the site, vowing to continue their nonviolent resistance to the nuclear armaments.A helicopter circling overhead monitored the nuns' visit to the silo, about 26 miles northeast of Greeley. The visit drew about 30 people.
"We will continue to be here and give witness for the need to close this down," said Jackie Hudson, 70, who visited the site Tuesday with Ardeth Platte, 68, and Carol Gilbert, 57. "To the day when this will no longer be -- hallelujah."

Notice their ages - they are all living in the past, when what they were doing was seen as more important than an AP filler-piece.
