29 years ago today, John Denver lost his life in a plane crash in Monterey Bay, California. He was just 53 years old. In the nearly three decades since his death, I have been able to put together a "connect-the-dots" map showing how crossing paths with John in the early 90s set me on a trajectory that continues today. This remembrance for John includes some of the many conversations about the man, his work, and his music over the years, with John's brother Ron Deutschendorf, Inge Kaminski, Dr. Cheryl Charles, Bill Kurtis, Richard Kaufman, Annie Denver, John Berry, as well as a few words from John himself, about the state of the human family.
