Dear Compatriots, One of the worlds great soil enthusiast & observers, Frances Hole, passed on this morning. He taught the soul of soil at the University of Wisconsin for decades. He told his students as he told summer Quaker youth groups on the mound at Wausau WI "The Whole World is Alive"! And he'd fiddle till the moles and worms danced with him & sang "we make soil!" to prove it.
His memorial will fittingly be on Ground Hogs Day/ Candle Mass in Madison. In Love & Light Markess
