Loving the outdoors and beyond
Percy was a wonderful family friend when I was a child. At 50 yrs old, I still have the edible plant field guide he gave me when I was 13 and snacking on my lawn. It has traveled well on many hikes and road-trips across the US and even survived a fall into a river! Percy loved both the natural world and the human world of the Arts. I have many snapshots in my memory of visiting him in New York City for my first trip there: the busy streets, Bronx Zoo, Cloisters (because I loved unicorns), and China Town are still vivid. Percy always seemed to have a sparkle to him - a passionate, creative, kind man. I am grateful to have known him, and I hope his next journey is a magnificent adventure!
