of Earth Island Institute and many other organizations, had many passions. He
loved books – the writing, editing, designing, and production of them even
more than the reading, or so it seemed. He loved music. He had a passion for
mountains, and the sea, and the canyons, and the prairie. Also, Tanqueray
martinis and the Biltmore Hotel in New York. In fact, he was an enthusiastic
fan of much of what’s good in this life and lived it all to the fullest.
