Susan says she feels very lucky to love what she does and share that love and music with anyone who will listen.<br /> <br /> This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Richmond Peace Education Center. Initiated in 1980, the center has been a leading voice for nonviolence in the Richmond community for three decades.
