Dear GENI
Friend,
The world
lost some great people this last month -- Mother Teresa,
Lady Diana and now John
Denver. I never met the two women, but had several
occasions to talk and work with John -- which makes
the loss much more personal.
John Denver
was a true friend of GENI. In 1989, John
taped an introduction to our first video,What
If . . . A New Global Option
. I was invited
to present The GENI Initiative at the Buckminster
Fuller Memorial Tribute that John hosted at his Windstar
Choices for the Future
conference.
And I thanked John personally with the first copy
of our Win-Win Solution
video.
The last
time we met was at The State of the World Forum, where
he said we should do something together
again.
John worked to end world hunger, to protect
the environment, and to forward the ideas of Buckminster
Fuller. Attached is the introduction John delivered
for the His lyrics
from It's about time
express our
work better than any I know:
It's
about time to turn the world around. . .
It's about time we start to live it, the family
of man. It's about peace, it's about plenty and
it's about time.
Our job
is to fulfill this vision. Please consider these two
options:
1. Next
time you're talking with someone about GENI (in
person or on the telephone), conference call
me in San Diego so I can help with any questions
or ideas to participate.
2. Help
us promote this initiative in your company newsletter
or a magazine that you read regularly. Enclosed
are two Public Service Advertisements ( PSA
1 ) ( PSA
2 ) that were created for this purpose. Share
this letter with the publisher/editor -- let them
know John Denver fully endorsed this project. Ask
the publication to run the ad in memory of John's
commitment to the earth and humanity.
Because
it's about time.
In partnership
for the planet,
Peter Meisen
President
