Passed through Arcata on a bike trip years back, caught a local access show he'd put together about the forest trails. He said something like, the forest doesn't belong to anybody, it belongs to everybody who walks it. Seventy five years old. Leaves it there.

I read about his pear orchard near Placerville and thought what a beautiful way to spend your later years, hands in the soil after a lifetime writing laws to protect it. He understood what mattered.

A conductor who understood that a theatre is a living thing, not a museum. He gave Wildbad something special, year after year. The people there knew what they had.
