To verify Steve Hart on this.

Goerge Chan spoke at the 1991, 4th International Permaculture Conference in
Kathmandu. George Chan roomed in the same hotel with me. A great
agriculturist and quite famous. It was valuable to have him as a friend of
permaculture.

 I look forward to whatever is pulled together of his history and knowledge.

Sorry  LL...George first came to the prominance of the Permaculture
community circa 1990 and spoke at IPC4 in Nepal. Key in George Chan
Integrated Farming for a search. There are probably better web sites than
this but its a start
