David Gilbert, a founding member of Columbia University Students for a Democratic Society and member of the Weather Underground, sits in a maximum-security prison in upper state New York in the Wende Correctional Facility.
He is serving a, 75 years to life, sentence for being a member of the Weather Underground group who along with members of the Black Liberation Army, robbed a Brink's truck on October 20, 1981.
Two Nyack, NY police officers Waverly Brown and Edward O'Grady and Brinks guard Peter Paige were murdered during the robbery.
Prison has apparently not mellowed Gilbert. He has a book out which he wrote in prison, No Surrender: Writings from an Anti-Imperialist Political Prisoner.
At the time of the robbery, Gilbert had a 14 months old boy. The mother of the boy, Kathy Boudin, also took part in the robbery and served a 22 years sentence.
With both Gilbert and Boudin sentenced to long terms, Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn adopted the toddler, Chesa Boudin.
But Chesa's interesting lineage does not start with his radical parents nor with Ayers.
