Local organization to hold silent walk for Sanctity of Life By PAYTON TOWNS III Beck y Wood, CEO of Sav- A-Life-Ministry of Dublin, is quick to point out that this Sunday's walk in Downtown Dublin is not a protest.

"We walk in silence and memory of all of the babies that have been lost," Wood said. "Especially the ones that were lost at this clinic the past year. Last year we lost 18 babies. After the walk, we'll have a memorial service for those 18 babies or anybody else who wants to remember a child." The walk has brought out 100 to 200 people to the event, depending on the weather. Sanctity of Human Life "My prayer is that God will rally this community and Silent Walk to be held make this significant," Wood at 2 p.m. Sunday at said.

The band released some of the most popular songs of the 1970s: "Take It Easy," written by Frey and Jackson Browne, is irresistible with Frey singing lead and the band's harmonies intact, and "Hotel California," the moody soft rock track, is a classic. "Hotel California" was just one of the Eagles' tunes to peak atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart: "Heartache Tonight," ''New Kid in Town," ''One of These Nights" and "Best of My Love" also went to No. 1. Frey and Henley wrote most of their hits and were known as one of the top songwriting teams.
