Henry Shelton and his wife Carol represent the best of Catholic social philosophy in action. Bob Kerr represented what was left of " progressive " social conscience at the Providence Journal with his many intelligent, sensitive, and compassionate columns. Which earned him the beloved title of " Comrade Kerr " on local right-wing flavored talk radio.
Way back in the mid 80s a few of my pay checks were signed by Henry Shelton. He might recall one of his less luminous projects : WAGE- WORKERS ASSOCIATION FOR GUARANTEED EMPLOYMENT. I recall exciting -and not unsuccessful- fundraising in affluent Barrington neighborhoods.
In the years since I have expanded my " sense of entitlement " to include a guaranteed income. But I am now content with my modest Social Security income. And still " feeling the Bern " -even after last night [ Henry Shelton retires ( Bob Kerr, NPR ) ]
" [ Henry Shelton ] continued his work forming numerous non-profit organizations including The Coalition for Consumer Justice (CCJ), The RI handicapped Action Committee (RIHAC), the Worker’s Association for Guarantee Employment (WAGE), the Fund for Community Progress (FCP) and the George Wiley Center (the latter with which he is still involved)."
