It was with shock that I heard of John's passing. He was one of the first professionals I had contact with when I started with an emotional growth/therapeutic Boarding School in the middle 1980s, and over the years I've published several articles by and about him in my newsletter, Woodbury Reports Inc. Our interaction continued up to some contacts this last year as he celebrated the 30th year of Wilderness Treatment Center in Marion Montana two months ago. His sage advice and he himself will be missed.
