Hello, all. Last night a friend died. J Baldwin, one of our 1977 “hot-shots,” a designer, Whole Earth Catalog and CoEvolution Quarterly editor, died at home with his wife Liz beside him. He was 84, and until less than a year ago was still working as a popular design teacher in the Bay area.
What a wonderful time it was once again to be in the presence of such a wonderful, loving and creative group. No wonder I have been a groupie for 40 years!

Life is a show
We learned long ago
New western energy show
We live we die between we glow
The door is open wide for us to sew
new thoughts/ ideas for all to grow
the facts will follow this I know
they follow the banjo
Life is a show
So
let use bestow
new possibilities to grow
Open the door and let it snow
the inspiration will crow
let this embryo
grow

Hi my friends,
We are still completely missing a few folks. Off the top of my head there is Mary Dower, Laurie Tanner and Chris O’Brien. Are any of you eager detectives or incidentally have information about them (or anyone else we might be missing for that matter)? If you do, please let me or Elizabeth or Angie know. Thanks!
I added a list of NWES tours and participants. You can find it under the NWES HISTORY tab. In making it, I used my foggy memory, looked through the box of NWES archives and photos, and consulted with our Reunion organizing committee, but I’m sure that are mistakes and omissions. So, please review and let us know what changes are needed. Thanks!
While in Choteau during the NWES 1976 tour, we met Dave Healow, then a crop duster, who grew up on a ranch outside Billings. Healow, familiar with wind-pumped water, was fascinated with propellers. He hung around the show for three days, talking wind. Only a few years later, Healow put up the first three wind generators visible from the freeway outside Livingston, Montana.
If you know someone who was drawn to the show, or someone particularly helpful on any of the tours, please let them know about the NWES Reunion. They are welcome to join us. NWES Reunion registration fee and Feathered Pipe food charges apply as needed for Saturday and/or Sunday.
LaLani. My Goodness. Howdy, I’m sure. I don’t remember the Solar Cookie Song, but it’s in there somewhere. I’m going to need many reminders about who’s who and why we know each other. After all, I’m an old fart now and many brain cells have gone off in a spark. Pat (my dear sweet loving wife) and I ran into George Ryan at the Empty Bowls fund raiser a month or two ago, and I recognized him. Wow ! Good Bob. You get a biscuit.

I was so happy to see the picture of Smokey in the 1976 photos! What a fine being he was.
