Geoffrey
Platts...
To honor and perpetuate the persona, philosophy, spirit, and
Loves of the Cosmos, Engagement, Friendship, Humor, Land
Preservation, Nature, Literature, and
Writing of this remarkable human being,
This photo of Geoffrey was taken in the fall of 1990 at
his beloved cabin. My wife and I had been invited to the cabin for a
visit and lunch of Geoffrey's famous beans and tortillas cooked over
an open fire. After our meal we spent the afternoon in a very animated
conversation covering many topics including his efforts to promote Desert
preservation.
As everyone who knew him knows Geoffrey was a captivating speaker, and he
kept us delightfully entertained with his stories and good-natured wit. At
one point in the conversation he paused, for just an instant, reflecting
on the topic under discussion. It was at that moment this photo was taken.
This is how I remember him...a tireless, dedicated, and at times
controversial champion of the Earth.
