Don Calhoun's Birthday
June 14, 2011-- Remembering Don Calhoun, Ph.D, Barbara Fiske's second husband, and one of the guiding lights of Quarry Hill in the Eighties and Nineties. Don was born this day in 1917; a pacifist, Quaker elder, orange farmer, sociology professor, and much more, Don was a person we will long remember.
He and Barbara had a very happy marriage. We were all very fond of him, including Irving; the three of them had a kind of mutual fondness for one another (after Irving got over his jealousy of Don). Om Mani Padme Hum.
Donald W. Calhoun June 14, 1917-May 5, 2010
Don wrote many books including Spirituality and Community, about the communities in and near which he spent his life, including Quarry Hill Creative Center.
