Scheer’s work in building the communist movement spanned more than six decades. He was an active member of the Twin Cities branch of the party up until recent years, and remained a supporter of the party’s activities until his death.

Scheer, who became interested in the socialist movement while on strike against Montgomery Ward in 1937, joined the Socialist Workers Party in 1938 the year the party was founded.

The Twin Cities branch of the Socialist Workers Party is organizing a meeting to celebrate Scheer’s many years of building the communist movement on Sunday afternoon, July 14. Further information about the event will be printed in next week’s Militant.

Messages to the meeting to celebrate Scheer’s life can be sent to the Twin Cities branch of the Socialist Workers Party at 113 Bernard St., West St. Paul, Minnesota, 55118. E-mail messages can be sent to TC6446325@cs.com
