<div dir="ltr">Dear Elaine and colleagues, <div><br></div><div>Ken and I were sorry to hear of Nelson's illness and passing. During the years of the expanded Kemper Team, the Stovers hosted us in Greensboro. Nelson took us on "The Universe Walk" around their property and we were very appreciative of such creativity. Their hosting, participation and intentional style was an inspiration to all of us. He was wise, steady, competent and passionate. We have benefited from his example of intentionality and collegiality. We are grateful to have worked with him, Mary Laura and Ken <br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Mary Laura Jones</div>

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!

<div style="color:black;font:10pt Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Thanks for letting us know about Nelson, Lynda. Our hearts and prayers are with Elaine and all those whose lives Nelson touched. We worked with Nelson and Elaine in "Area New York and Widen" and after that so much appreciated their ecological passion and how they grounded the Universe Story and the Great Work in their own home and in their creative and steadfast work in Greensboro, India and other places. We will miss Nelson's compassion, writing/poetry, and drive to care for Earth and all that is in it. We mourn his death and celebrate the gift and legacy of his life.
