Anna Haag, and husband John,
have been intimately involved with Venice since the 1960s. They ran the Venice
West Cafe (coffee house) during the Beat days.
Both became politically involved in the
anti-war and civil rights movements. Anna was politically involved in the Venice
Survival Committee, Peace & Freedom Party, Free Venice and other local
organizations.
She worked at the Lafayette
Cafe and at several of Jurgen’s Venice
restaurants.
Anna died in November
after a long and tenacious struggle with cancer. Her funeral was held in
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where her daughter Duanna lives.
Both Duanna and her brother, Thomas,
will attend the Venice memorial. At press time, the location had not been
finalized. Please call 399-8685 or check www.freevenice.org for
