Lucy Lahr, PRESENTE ! 

All of us at ESSN/JwJ wish to express our great grief at the loss of a dedicated, passionate, committed, and fearless leader in the labor community, and loving friend.  Lucy had been a long-time member of ESSN/JwJ, a member of the Steering Committee, and a past co-chair. Lucy's warmth, spirit, energy, and experience will be irreplaceable.   
 
We want to express our condolences to Susan, and to the rest of Lucy's family.
 
We will do our best to honor Lucy's memory as we continue in the struggle for workers rights, justice, and peace. 

 On October 18 , 2007 Lucy Lahr was killed and her life-partner Susan Wehner was injured in a hit-and-run collision.  The collision happened at 13th and Hilyard streets near the hospital  in Eugene.   Lucy and Susan were in the crosswalk at 13th and Hilyard after 7:30 pm and both were hit by a blue pickup truck.  The driver has since been apprehended. Susan 's condition was stable and she is recovering at home as of October 22nd.
