[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Passing of Nelson Stover

[Milan Hamilton]

The passing of an "iconic" image in my memory, but of a real human as I and
Linda have followed his and Elaine's journey and touched them at points
along the way. My first memory of Nelson is from the Town Meeting days. He
and Larry Ward were the "Strike Force" leaders in the New England campaign,
and led us itinerant campaigners through the 1977-8 victory march,
alternating between the Boston (where we were assigned) and Hartford Houses
on weekends for fantastic weekend reporting and celebration sessions, and
then sending us back out in teams (I was a one-person team in Maine-Tim
Karpoff in New Hampshire & Vermont) for the week in between. We will never
forget the weekend where Nelson and Larry took us all to see the Star Wars
movie and brought us back to the Hartford House for the movie conversation
and celebration, including the infamous "line dance" from the bar scene in
the movie. In the years since, we are grateful for the work of Nelson and
Elaine on the Lifestyle Simplification Labs, and the work on climate change
responses in India and at home. We owe them a lot, both inspirationally and
practically. Journey on Nelson! Milan and Linda Hamilton
