Subject:                                     John Muir's  184th Birthday Message

 

Dear Friends,

 

I'm foregoing my usual John Muir birthday message this year.  Instead, because of the Sierra Club' (denial, disembodiment, execution, rejection defenestration, or crucifixion—choose one or more) of Muir, I pass along the John Muir day message below from Scotland's John Muir Trust (https://www.johnmuirtrust.org/). If you're not familiar with the John Muir Trust, I encourage you to look at the various links below and even consider joining. Doris and I are life members and have even participated in their meetings, as has Alison Chin.  Larry Downing has served as a Trustee. The Trust is at least keeping John Muir's memory alive.

 

Happy Birthday Johnnie
