Takoma Park ‘ambassador’ dies
Takoma Park’s unofficial peace ambassador, Pat Loveless, died at age 64 on March 20.
In May 2010, Takoma Park City Council adopted a resolution declaring Loveless the “Takoma Park Peace Delegate.”
“He was very active in protests, civil rights. He was opposed to the death penalty,” said Takoma Park Council member Terry Seamens, who often drove Loveless to and from council meetings. [Montgomery Community Media]
