Hello. I am new to this website stuff (early 2014), and this may be the plainest site you will see, as I am still busy "doing". I also know ding about creating a website, and googlesites has decided to change it all. But I want to leave some information on where I feel I have made a difference . It is not exactly an autobiography, but is rather bits and pieces of a history that might be lost if not recorded. I am also now on Facebook, with more photos on that site.
The three bars above my name, above, are the 3 current pages in this website. Click on them for access. The documents got stored in Google drive after the googlesites updated their websites. They limited the number of images allowed. Well, it is a free site...
I have found that simply typing in my name may not lead to this site, if you are in a Yahoo search screen. You need to be on a Google search screen. So much for net neutrality, eh?
If you "Google" my full name (in Google) , you will find information on one of my earlier activities. In April, 1965, I created the phrase (Let's) "Make Love Not War." There is proof from publications, and no one has yet beat my date - with proof. It is in Google only because of a 2010 newspaper article in the Medford Mail Tribune.
There is a funny saying floating around that we older people are lucky that we did all of our bad stuff before Google! Well, that cuts both ways, as only one of theses activities you will see in the Conservation Chronicle can be found in an internet search! So, I included the scanned hard-copy images for examples.
So, wait, there is more.....
Because September, 2014 was the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, I wanted to eventually transfer out of the archives a summary of over 47 years of my activity, from 1967 to the present, on my role, (along with many others), in saving several Wilderness areas in Southern Oregon and Northern California. These areas are Sky Lakes, Red Buttes, additions to the Kalmiopsis, Boulder Creek, Rogue-Umpqua Divide, Rogue, Siskiyou, Trinity Alps (formal designation), Russian, Marble Mountains additions, Mt. Shasta, Castle Crags and others. I was also the first person to fire letters off to the the Nature Conservancy office in Portland, Oregon, in 1973, on the threats to the Table Rocks in Southern Oregon, eventually leading to the purchase of Lower Table Rock in 1978.
I have two other reasons for writing this chronology now. One, my ongoing health issues indicate that I may not, after all, be immortal. And two, because I am living on an extremely (!) low fixed income, I can't afford certain things, and I felt a need to respond to something a woman said to me, on hearing that, - "Didn't you WORK?" Well, of course, I worked hard, but mostly for no pay, for the conservation of our Wilderness, and later, with just part-time low pay jobs to pay the bills. So one wants a bit of credit for these activities, if nothing else, eh?
I always have proof of all of my claims! For example, a popular phrase now, "May the FOREST Be With You", ( I said Us, not You ), I created in 1979, two years after the first Star Wars movie came out in 1977. I have the original publication with my quote. Can you beat that date? I mean, with proof?
Thanks for stoppin' by. There will be more as I get going, here, Please visit the next page for a detailed chronology, Then a page follows with the documents that I have scanned in from my hard copies. I admit to being proud of this legacy.
And, as I mentioned, I am now on Facebook. I have more of my photos posted there.
Click on the three bars on the upper left corner to scroll to the Conservation Chronology and the Science Fiction pages.
Oh, and this came out in the local papers in Oct 2019
OOps, I guess you need to highlight and copy, then paste on a new tab.
----------------------- And like I said - May the Forest Be with you!
