Windstar Vision Was Written Before John Denver’S Death in a Plane Crash on October 12, 1997 Dedicated to a Peaceful and Sustainable FutureVisionVisionSummer/Fall1997 The Passing of a Poet The sunshine has left our shoulders for a time. John Denver died. He was killed doing what he loved and I guess that’s the way it ought to be. When you finish your work, you are called home and your earthly work is then left for others to continue for great souls exist to educate and inspire. John was a poet, a singer of songs, a friend to many, an idol of millions the world over. Through the sadness and the emptiness of our hearts, we honor our friend with personal memories of his laughter and his profound intellect. We remember his public gifts of song and self, his harmonies of love and nature, his vision for a sustain- able future and all of the joys of life he shared through an extraordinary ability to entertain. His songs would take us to places where troubles couldn’t reach, at least for a while. His lyrics encouraged us to seek a higher ground. His hugs were special for they were given without condition and his smile personified his spirit and his love of life. In time, we will celebrate his life without the salty sadness of tears. And that’s right. We all come into this John Denver world, make choices, make sacrifices, laugh a little, love a little, cry a little and learn through experience that the true 1943–1997 importance of life is to share our gifts, to be true to ourselves and to make the world a little better place to President and Founder live. The Windstar Foundation When we acknowledge, with action, the resonate truths within us, as John Denver did, then we honor all life and a piece of us lives forever, for only the body dies. --Rolland G. Smith Newscaster, Poet Friend to Windstar and John Denver Ed. Note: With the exception of pages 1 and 2, this issue of the Windstar Vision was written before John Denver’s death in a plane crash on October 12, 1997. More information about John’s legacy and achievements will be published in the future, along with news about the continuing work of the Windstar Foundation.

Not only did his environmentally and socially- conscious music resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, it helped strengthen his voice as a devoted humanitarian and activist. Denver remains to this day an iconic American figure who managed to bridge the gap between the pop, folk, and country music genres.

  • Magic Moment on Magic Island Lee C
    2013 Hawaii University International Conferences Education & Technology Math & Engineering Technology June 10th to June 12th Ala Moana Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii Magic Moment on Magic Island Lee C. Payton Columbia College Chicago MAGIC MOMENT ON MAGIC ISLAND A Paper Presentation by LEE C. PAYTON - Original Content © 2013. A) Sally from Beijing It was Tuesday, January 8th, 2013, the last day of the HUIC Arts, Humanities and Social Services Conference in Ala Moana. That morning I participated in a fantastic workshop on drawing for the non-creative. When the Conference ended, I really needed to wind down before exploring Oahu during the remainder of the week. I took my guitar out to the big tree on the southern most stretch of Magic Island to practice and relax and enjoy the sunset. I had been practicing for about an hour when a young girl walked up with her chaperone, and asked if she could join me. She said her name was Sally, and that she went to high school in Beijing, and that every year a group of students would come to Hawaii to study. In my experience as a professional performer, sharing music in such an intimate context can be very rewarding, often as much as a sold-out venue. Sally asked if I would play a song for her. I asked her which artist was her favorite. She said Taylor Swift, but I didn't know any Taylor Swift songs. I played several songs that I did know, including I Saw Her Standing There - the Beatles hit, which goes over big with everyone in every crowd, everywhere I've ever played it.
