LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
*********************************************************************
Dear Friends,
Thanks to all of you who took a moment to write regarding last month's President's
Letter. The positive response was very gratifying to me, and suggests that we are
growing in the right direction. I know that if we put our hearts and minds together,
we can conquer all -- so good on you!
Our fundraising project for 2002 is now, officially, the John Denver Tour Book --
a collection of monuments, trees, benches, sites, adopted highways, etc., around
the world dedicated to the memory of John Denver. Your Tour Coordinators are Todd
Barker (TheDenverRealtor@aol.com) and Jennifer Hunter (jenden1099@yahoo.com)
-- please send one of them a description of the site in your state or country, photos
(jpg format, please), if possible, suggest a place or two to stay nearby, and provide
someone's email as a contact person in case there are questions they can help answer.
Any other contributions to the book, such as stories, poetry, etc., related to one
of these sites are also welcome. Additionally, if someone would volunteer to write
a chapter on Aspen and Pacific Grove -- i.e., what to see while you're there, how
to get to memorial sites, etc. -- that would be super. We hope to have this ready
by the October celebration season, so please get your descriptions in to Todd and
Jen as soon as possible. As before, all proceeds will benefit The Hunger Project.
Let's make this the best fundraiser yet!
My heart to yours,
Ann

From: Annalisa Berns (aberns@hotmail.com):
Special for John Denver fans, fan clubs, and get-togethers:
Delightful summer camp for rent- or join me for a John Denver week! Located in the
beautiful Adirondack Mountains in central New York. A 1 hour drive north from Utica,
N.Y. Only 2 blocks away from 2 fun beaches on pristine 4th Lake. Hiking, mountain
biking, kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, antiquing, boating, sailing, shopping,
and small town atmosphere are all in the town of Eagle Bay. Slightly larger towns
with a water park, tourist activities, museums, and more are only a 15 minute drive
away.
The Adirondack Park is the largest U.S. Park outside Alaska. The Adirondacks are
home to black bears, white tailed deer, common loons, mergansers, bald eagles, beavers,
coyotes, fishers, bobcats, brook and lake trout, land-locked salmon and more. The
park supports 500,000 acres of true old growth forest. Out of this, 200,000 acres
have never been logged.
The location was a Summer Ballet Camp for over 40 years. The owner can no longer
teach ballet because of health problems. The camp has 11 beds in 5 rooms, 2 showers,
kitchen, large dinning room, and large meeting room. If the camp cannot be rented
this summer, it may have to be sold! Since I am a long-time John Denver fan, I want
to offer the camp for rent at a discounted price of $700 per week. Usually rents
for $800 to $1,000 per week. At full occupancy, that is only about $60 per person
for an entire week! This would be a perfect place to have a John Denver weekend!
If you are interested in participating in a John Denver weekend at the camp, or would
like to rent it for a week, please email me for more information at: aberns@hotmail.com

ALMOST HEAVEN
From: Jennifer Hunter (jenden1099@yahoo.com)
We watched the fields and towns as we rolled on westbound. The sun set in a big orange
ball before we crossed the Mississippi. The wading egrets and herons and thousands
of ducks looked up at the passing train from the marshes left when the river changed
course ages ago. They know this train, the California Zephyr; it passes here daily.
We'd boarded in the afternoon just outside of Chicago.
The train would make several stops in the night on its way to Denver, our destination.
The original 60's Vistadome "California Zephyr" train disappeared long
ago and Amtrak now makes this run. Amtrak could also be singing the disappearing
railroad blues sometime soon if Government funding is cut.
We awoke to sunwashed Colorado plains as we rolled past farms and feedlots and eventually
saw the mountains getting larger mile by mile. Just past the Denver stockyards, we
backed into Union Station, an historic old train station with arched ceilings and
great wooden benches. We met our friends and stepped into the Colorado sunshine.
The highlight of our weekend trip was "Almost Heaven", the play about John
Denver and his music. We were
greeted in the lobby by one of John's guitars and it's leather case and 3 platinum
and gold albums in a glass case. There was also an oil painting of John done from
pictures from the Wildlife concert. It had fall foliage aspen trees and a flying
bald eagle in the background. It was done in 2001 (I think). Inside was the 700 seat
theatre, a half circle, with the stage surrounded by the audience. In the center
behind the stage was a large circle backdrop which appeared to be made of irregular
pieces of milky stained glass. The colors changed on it with the changing lighting
and sometimes, pictures of John were projected on it. To the right side of the stage
was another screen with pictures and video projected on it. On this screen scrolled
all of John's song titles in his handwriting and lots of wild horses during the
song "Eagles and Horses". Wildflowers and pictures of John were also projected
onto the stage.
Three men and three women sang his songs and told his stories with dialog and roll
playing. No one attempted to look like John and they took turns in the roll. The
music was sometimes interrupted with the continuation of the story, so that the music
would segue into something else. I've never heard more beautiful arrangements of
the songs with six part vocal harmony as if being sung by a heavenly choir. John
would love that. Sometimes they sang three different JD songs at the same time as
they did with "Annie's Song", "Goodbye Again" and "Jet Plane".
They explored the music and the meanings as it related to John's life. There were
times that the cast sang harmony to John's recording. The band did some bluegrass.
They read fan letters thanking John for his music. They addressed the issues of the
Vietnam war and how the son of an Air Force pilot could protest a war.
It put the music into perspective of the time period of when it was created and I
thought back to the very first time I heard a JD song. It was that family vacation
when my brother's friend came along and brought a radio in the car.....(my parents
always bought a station wagon without a radio). As we drove the thousand miles to
Wyoming's Grand Tetons, there was that song about "Almost Heaven... West Virginia"
that every radio station was playing across the western plains. I was 13 and when
I got home from that vacation, I knew about John Denver and that I needed to find
his music. I've never missed a concert since then and I've lost count as to how many
times I saw him. It became a part of me and who I was deciding to be in my young
life. The music was my friend and is to this day.
The cast was top notch, Broadway quality, and I noticed one of the band members looked
familiar (Dave DeMichelis), but I couldn't quite place him. I noticed in the program
that he'd backed John up, so I must have seen him in a concert somewhere. I found
the stories and feelings portrayed by the fans in the play to be the same things
that unite us all now that we carry on John's dreams together. I can see from some
of the news stories that this show will likely travel and I would highly recommend
it. It will be a sold out show as it was in Denver. It's not the same as John's concerts.
The songs in the first half will not be complete, but lead into another story or
idea. In the 2nd half, the songs are more complete and you'll be wanting to sing
harmony with them. If I were the director, I'd add a sing along at the end of the
show and really encourage the audience to sing. I'm hoping they will release a CD
of these beautiful and unique arrangements of the music we all love.
So, after a weekend of "Heaven", and a long wait for a train, we'd ride
the silver rails back East in a gentle rain through the rolling hills of early Spring.
Just west of the Mississippi, hundreds of white pelicans rose up from the wetlands
like the white heaven-bound balloons to mark our passage over the river of life that
rambled on below us. It would rain all the way home and we would sleep in the cradle
of a train rocking on the shoulders of our mother Earth.

actors-

LIGHT OF THE WORLD CONCERT
Birmingham, Alabama, April 27, 2002
Featuring Jim Aycock and One of Us, with Ken Talley, Roger Phillips, Tena Wilson,
and Vanessa Anderson
From: David Ladewig (dladewig145@charter.net)
Saturday, April 27, was a special time in Birmingham. The Light of the World Concert
would be spectacular and with the addition of the Peace Cloth gave the auditorium
much more to think about. The concert is a celebration of the human spirit through
world premiere music, multi-media, and special staging that gives hope to the world
around us.
The concert was a sell out and standing room only was left for a few who walked up.
The show began with a greeting from Jim and the song "Life is a Mystery."
Most of the songs were about doing your part and tunes like "It's All Good"
brought out the message of the evening.
The night was not complete without a comedy routine between the songs. Jim and the
group performed flawlessly. The female vocalists, Vanessa Anderson (of Off Broadway
notoriety) and Tena Wilson (also from Off Broadway. She was "Crystal" in
Little Shop of Horror) we stunning, not only in talent, but in stage presence.
One of the honored guests was Cindy Spiegle. She was a friend of JD's and is a
friend of Jim Connor's. It was delightful to be seated next to her and get to visit
a bit. (My four year old, Alex, was in full concert garb and I did have to supply
little candies at her request during the concert.)
Jim Aycock sang a song he wrote about John entitled "John's Song." His
personal performance was better than the version on his CD, "One of Us".
Great instrumentals and vocals until he sang the last verse. Then it was just Jim
singing to his little girl, Dylan, who is 7 years old this year. I was moved by
the love in his eyes for his child. The song was a hit and brought the house down
in applause. During the song, many photos of JD were projected on the multi-media
screen.
A poem was read during the presentation of the Peace Cloth. It was the John Denver
Peace Poem by JD. It was a very well done presentation. Many of the people there
didn't know what the cloth was until that point. Later, during intermission, just
about everyone looked at the panels.
This concert was a great success. Great music, great visuals, and a great audience
who was ready to have some fun. The final song was "Standing in My Power."
The song has vibrant energy to end a concert with and makes you wish it was going
to be longer. Next year, it will be even better just like it was better this time
than it was last year. I hope you all could come and be part of this expression
of music, media, and friendship
I would also like to thank the Peace Cloth board for sending the cloth to Birmingham.
It was a hit and what it can mean to people makes it a valuable asset to any gathering.

CHRISTOPHER WESTFALL AND FRIENDS...PERFECT TOGETHER!
From: Donna Pinto (donnapinto@yahoo.com)
The tourist slogan for the great state of New Jersey used to be... New Jersey and
you, perfect together." Yes, we've all heard the Saturday Night Live variations
of "Toxic Together", etc. BUT New Jersey's own Christopher Westfall
proved that his music and the Friends' folk coffeehouse were absolutely perfect together!
Some friends introduced Chris to the Quakers when this very thought raced through
their minds while attending a previous coffeehouse. Chris was a bit apprehensive
since a great deal of his material is JD-related; but like all the Westfall fans
in the audience, the Friends truly enjoyed the evening. Of course they didn't know
that Guy Clarke's "Homegrown Tomatoes" and "I've Been Working on the
Rail Road" were learned from JD!
Chris opened with, "The Water is Wide" -- a folk song with a pedigree:
Chris learned it from a James Taylor 1990's album, Taylor sang back up on Karla
Bonoff's 1970's version, and Bonoff learned it from her guitar teacher, who happened
to have been in a folk group with the one and only Pete Seeger!
It was an incredibly warm, humorous evening full of lots of stories and one singalong
after another! Tom Paxton's "Marvelous Toy", Buddy Holly's "Everyday",
JD's "Jet Plane", Jack Williams' "Catch Another Butterfly", Steve
Goodman's "City of New Orleans", Dave Mallet's "Garden Song",
Guy Clark's "Home Grown Tomatoes", Ian Tyson's classic "Four Strong
Winds", John Prine's "Blow Up the TV", Kathy's Bates' "America
the Beautiful", then two JD songs topped off the first set : "Healing
Time On Earth" and the ever-popular "Annie's Song".
Chris related "Healing Time" to the horrific incident of September 11th;
his mother was raised in New York and her grandfather was a volunteer fireman.
"Healing Time" went over so well, he was asked for the guitar chords by
some of the Friends. During the break, one of the Friends asked if Chris knew the
Ed McCurdy classic "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream".
Guess what his planned opener for the second set was? "Home on the Range",
"Ponies", "Rail Road", "Follow Me", and "Song
for all Lovers" were next. Chris took to the piano for "For You",
then back to guitar for "Paradise", "Thirsty Boots", "Wake
Up Little Susie", a quick "La Bamba", "Give Yourself to Love",
and to close off the evening on the 12-string, "Wild Montana Skies". Of
course he was called back for an encore, his own, "I'm Coming Home". One
person called this the highlight of the evening!
Thanks so much to "Mike in the booth" and the Gwynedd Friends for making
this all happen! Prior to the gig, a JD group gathered at the William Penn Inn across
the street (thanks, Pats, Cindy, & Theresa) and afterwards a group gathered at
the only OPEN restaurant nearby, TGI Fridays. Although it meant we didn't get home
until 2 AM, I can't wait for Chris' next gig to do it all over again! Every time
I see him, it gets more FUN!

COLORADO FRIENDS OF JOHN DENVER HIGHWAY CLEANUP
June 1, 2002
Greetings!
Now that winter has passed and spring has sprung, it's that time again to start thinking
about our annual spring highway cleanup in Vail.
This year, we've scheduled it for Saturday, June 1st. Hopefully by scheduling it
a little later, we'll be able to invite some of the Windstar folks to join us. Also,
the traffic should be lighter, since it won't be Memorial Day weekend.
As before, the Antlers will be offering $50/night rates per room, and will be contributing
to our event. We're planning to have a BBQ lunch at the Antlers pool following cleanup,
and many of the Antlers employees will be doing a highway cleanup of their own on
that day.
John and Linda Adams will be joining us, and John will graciously share his music
at the BBQ.
Please let those know who are not on our list, and invite them to join us. Since
we were not able to do a fall cleanup because of snow, we should have our work cut
out for us!
Let me know if you can attend, so I can start a head-count. For room reservations,
please call
the Antlers at Vail: 825-8445 (Denver line); 1-800-843-8245 (toll free); or direct
(970) 476-2471.
Each year this has been a wonderful time for everyone to get together, volunteer,
and enjoy springtime
in the Rockies! Sure hope to see everyone again this year.
All the best,
Evelyn and Rob

CHILDREN'S DAY
June 22, 2002 12-4PM
South Street Seaport, NY, NY
We are thrilled to announce that The John Denver Memorial Peace Cloth has been invited
to be a participant at this year's Children's Day, previously held at the World Trade
Center.
Here's the official description of the event:
It was the city's largest free family festival, and kids and their families all over
the tri-state area looked forward to it all year. On Saturday, June 22nd, 2002, a
group of celebrities, artists and activists, together with sponsors and philanthropists,
will keep that tradition alive by putting on Children's Day for its 10th season,
this year at the South Street Seaport. The main goal here is to give the children
of New York a much-needed and deserved day of fun -- and I believe this will be the
most powerful and meaningful Children's Day ever, a giant step toward restoring a
feeling of hope and a sense of continuity all over the city.
Not a lot of details as yet, but write to Ann Schnitz (aerie01@sprynet.com)
or Eve Kleinfeld (EEEEEKL@aol.com) if you would like more information.

DenLines, May 15, 2002
1. MESSAGE TO NORTON: Don't drop protections for wolves
Defenders of Wildlife is calling on Interior Secretary Gale Norton not to strip gray
wolves of protections under the Endangered Species Act. Defenders is working with
a coalition of 20 conservation and animal welfare organizations to oppose Bush administration
plans to throw wolves to the mercy of states like Idaho, whose legislature has voted
to eradicate these endangered animals "by whatever means necessary." The
administration has said that it wants to drop federal protections for wolves in the
Rocky Mountains and may scuttle proposals to bring wolves back to the Northeast.
To see the DENlines cartoon, click here: http://www.defenders.org/den/cartoons/cruella_norton.jpg
Help us use the power of the Internet to protect wolves. We're seeking one million
signatures on our petition urging Secretary Norton not to make it easier to kill
America's wolves. To sign the petition, go to www.savewolves.org and please forward
it to friends.
2. STOPPING THE SLAUGHTER: We win court ruling to protect Yellowstone's buffalo
Winning a favorable ruling from a federal magistrate this week, Defenders of Wildlife
took an important step toward stopping the government slaughter of the buffalo of
Yellowstone National Park. The magistrate ruled that the U.S. Forest Service is breaking
the law by allowing cattle to graze at Horse Butte on public land just outside the
park. Those cattle have been used as an excuse for the Montana Department of Livestock
to slaughter thousands of America's last wild herd of buffalo. The bison roam onto
Horse Butte to graze in the winter, and when they do, the government kills them because
of unwarranted fears that buffalo will infect cattle with the disease brucellosis.
3. COUGHING AND WHEEZING: What will it take to ban snowmobiles at Yellowstone?
At Yellowstone, there have been so many snowmobiles on some winter days that rangers
have worn gas masks to ward off dizziness, headaches and nausea from the fumes. But
against the opinion of an overwhelming majority of citizens, Interior Secretary Norton
may be about to reverse plans to ban snowmobiles from Yellowstone and Grand Teton
national parks. That's even though the Environmental Protection Agency said last
week that exhaust from the machines could violate air quality laws, jeopardize human
health and pose a risk to wildlife.
To send an e-mail telling the National Park Service to ban snowmobiles in Yellowstone
and Grand Teton national parks, go to www.denaction.org and click
on Alert #157.
4. THIS LAND IS OUR LAND: Report condemns funding shortfall
Citing major shortfalls in funding for public lands, Defenders of Wildlife and other
national environmental groups are calling on Congress to increase funding to save
wildlife and wild lands. In a new report, "This Land Is Our Land: Saving America's
Natural Heritage," the groups highlight 18 examples of how funding cuts and
shortfalls in important natural resource programs are undermining protection of imperiled
species, wildlife refuges, forests and other special places. Click here to read the
report: http://www.defenders.org/publiclands/this_land.pdf.
5. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER? Norton finally acting on national monuments
At the urging of Defenders of Wildlife and other environmental organizations, Secretary
Norton has finally begun the process of developing plans to manage our new national
monuments -- millions of acres of public land containing some of America's natural
treasures. But already, there are moves to allow greater access to off-road vehicles
and to expedite oil and gas drilling. Stay tuned for ways that you can help protect
our national monuments. To learn more, click here http://www.defenders.org/publiclands/habitat/monu.html.
6. RED ALERT: High levels of PCBs found in dead whale
There's new urgency to questions about pollution of the oceans and bays of the West
Coast. An orca that washed up on Washington state's Olympic Peninsula was contaminated
by perhaps the highest levels of the toxic chemical PCB ever measured in a whale.
"She basically knocked our instruments off," a National Marine Fisheries
Service researcher told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "We had no idea we'd
see these levels." Researchers can't explain how the whale became so contaminated.
PCBs have been banned since 1977, but they are extremely persistent and still can
be found throughout the marine food chain. To learn more about threats to whales,
go to www.saveourwhales.org.
7. AND THE WINNERS ARE ... Kids explain why we need bears, sea otters
The winners have been chosen in our wildlife essay contests in Florida and California.
They explained why black bears are important to Florida and why California needs
sea otters . Thanks to all who participated. We hope the contest helped raise public
awareness about threats to our vanishing wildlife. To read essays on these species,
go to www.kidsplanet.org.
8. HELP SAVE BEARS: Celebrate Bear Awareness Week
America's bears are facing harm from oil companies that want to drill in wildlife
sanctuaries, logging companies that want to clear-cut national forests, and poachers
who want to sell their parts in international trade. Help celebrate National Bear
Awareness Week, June 2-8, by adopting a polar, black or brown bear today. For your
sponsorship you'll receive a plush toy bear of your choice and the satisfaction of
knowing you're helping to save their lives. Go to http://www.defenders.org/adopt/bear.
9. LEARN MORE ABOUT WILDLIFE: Check us out!
The Defenders of Wildlife Web site has information on many species of wildlife. To
