Remembering Miyo Bassett

On May 26, 2007, a beloved member of the world peace community, Miyo Bassett, passed away.

For many years Miyo and her husband, David, lived in Ann Arbor and worked with ICPJ to promote peace in the world.

Miyo’s life of service is well documented in her obituary.

When I remember Miyo, I remember her helping teach children and adults how to fold origami peace cranes. She was a superb teacher, in part because of the compassion and resolve she brought to her work.

What are your memories of Miyo? Feel free to share them below or email them to chuck@icpj.net.

Grace Potts says:

I remember working with Miyo on Come Together for Peace. Her generosity of self and spirit stand out in my memory. When we found ourselves close to the date of the event, and things weren’t quite “coming together”; Miyo would kind of sigh and say “We’ll be there, and we’ll be enough”

She was right.
