Gerald Lowell, UC Moffitt Library, spoke first. The electronic moving "ticker tape" can be seen at the top of the photo mural. Someone jokingly asked if the Dow Jones averages would appear there later.

UC Chancellor Robert Berdahl speaking about the significance of the FSM.

Just as Bettina Aptheker was to speak there was a "Mario Moment" (as the speaker,
Ronnie Davis, founder of the SF Mime Troupe, termed his interruption)
for a plea for organic foods to be served on campus
and in the Cafe. Bettina looks on appreciatively.

Bettina Aptheker gave a moving talk of her memories of FSM, Mario and the continuing echoes of FSM. Bettina is now a professor of Women's Studies at UC Santa Cruz.

Lynne Hollander Savio reminded how much Mario loved talking with friends in cafes.
