I found out yesterday about the passing of Keith Hunter. He suffered from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). In the growing span of my own lifetime, I only knew him for a short time, but his impact on me, and on this community, was significant. I will cherish the many many conversations we had and the wisdom he tried to impart on me especially when I didn’t necessarily want to hear it. In his honour and in respect of his way, here’s a video for and about him.

Chris, thank you for this thoughtful reflection on Keith’s life and legacy. I never met him in person but we connected online a few times and I’ve always found him to be insightful, calm, gentle, wise and refreshing— not afraid to challenge the status quo. Thank you for sharing this with us; am glad you decided to hit publish.
Thanks Kama, I agree, and I am too.
