SALT LAKE CITY Age, color, race, language – even religious affiliation didn’t matter as a unified group of more than 300 people joined this year’s annual March for Life in Salt Lake City to protest abortion.
This year’s event, sponsored by Pro-Life Utah, was different from past events. Instead of an indoor presentation in the Utah State Capitol rotunda followed by a march around the Capitol, this year people gathered in the parking lots and surrounding areas of the Capitol early on the morning of Jan. 30 before queuing their vehicles for a car parade through Salt Lake City

Stuart H. Lollis, of Edgartown, MA died peacefully on December 13 of kidney and respiratory failure. He was 78 years old.
Stuart was born on November 2, 1942, the oldest child of Shelton and Ruth Lollis. The son of an army officer, he had an exciting and varied childhood on military bases across the United States and around the world. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1964. Having completed Army ROTC, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant and volunteered for service in Vietnam. Upon returning home, Stuart received his MBA from Harvard Business School before beginning a career in marketing. He went on to start a business with his father, helping U.S. manufacturing firms to export their products abroad.
Shortly before Easter of 1965, I effectively vanished. Inasmuch as I had a plan for leaving the country, this was it: hint at heading for Swaziland and then, after a few days, join the annual Easter “rush” across the northern Beit Bridge border post into what was then Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) using my dubiously acquired Protectorates Travel Document.
So, the night after I hitchhiked out of Johannesburg, I walked the last few miles into Amersfoort and slipped into what was then the Indian ghetto of shops and homes in the centre of town. Baboo Bilai, one of those who had earlier illegally crossed into Swaziland with me and members of the Fordsburg group, was happy to put me up. His and the other families understood the need for a white friend to remain out of sight while staying in the ghetto. For “memory’s sake” Baboo snapped a picture of me sprawled on his bed in my “James Dean pose” which he posted to me more than 50 years later.
