250 attend Berkshire vigils to show support for Sheehan
By Derek Gentile, Berkshire Eagle Staff



GREAT BARRINGTON — More than 250 people in six county locations turned out last night in separate vigils to support a California woman who is camping out near the Texas ranch of President Bush in hopes of expressing her concerns about the war in Iraq to him in person.
Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., began her vigil Aug. 6. Her son, Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq last year.

Yesterday, vigils were held in Lenox, Monterey, Housatonic, Adams and Williamstown, as well as on the corner of Main and Castle streets in Great Barrington.

A rough count of participants
in each vigil indicated that about 120 participated in Great Barrington, 65 in Lenox, 40 in Monterey and 25 in Housatonic. Counts could not be obtained for Adams and Williamstown......

Williamstown vigil prompted by e-mail

Tammy Daniels, North Adams Transcript
WILLIAMSTOWN -- More than 125 people gathered by the soldiers' memorial in Field Park on Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil to show their support for Cindy Sheehan -- and their opposition to the Iraq war.

See related story, A3

The numbers were a pleasant shock to organizer Trish Gorman, who was worried only three people would show up.

"I was amazed. At least 125 people showed up with less than 24 hours notice," said Gorman after the vigil.
