Cervena Barva Press will be organizing a memorial tribute reading for Vaclav Havel sometime in January. The time and place to be announced. It is because of Vaclav Havel that I chose a Czech name for my press. He was a hero, a wonderful writer and someone I admire. He will be so missed. Cervena Barva means "red color" in Czech. I chose that to symbolize blood. There was no blood shed during the Velvet Revolution. On Friday, please give a moment of silence for Vaclav and then take out your keys on your key ring and jingle them for Vaclav. A symbolic gesture during the Velvet Revolution.
RIP Vaclav!
Thanks-
Gloria
