Lindy Davies, Rest in Peace
Apr. 9th, 2019 10:04 pmI got an email from a mutual Georgist friend, and learned that Lindy Davies died today. I knew that he could not be expected to live much longer, but I thought he might have weeks left. He didn’t.
He was a worthy man, whose wife loved him, who raised two children with her, who did what he could to speak up for the right and make the world a better place. He wrote a novel and taught for a time as an adjunct professor of English, in addition to his Georgist activism. He had been an arborist until an injury meant that he would have to cease climbing trees; another arborist, who had been a high school dropout, a United States Marine, and an autodidact, introduced him to the ideas of Henry George, and so he became involved, and took over the Henry George Institute when Bob Clancy died.
I will try to keep the Institute going, and to help Lindy’s family. There may be more to say later. Sweet dreams, and may angels sing thee to thy rest.
