Don't you mean Geoff Lawton?  See permaculture.org.au for details.  Bill is 
still out there, but Geoff has been running the Institute for some time now.  
As best as I understand, Bill's health has improved greatly.  Geoff has been 
seeking permies to take up consulting positions all over the place (big 
mult-million $ projects going in the Mideast).

While we are discussing such things as this, who has sent in their $25 and 
PDC class notes to Tagari for certification as a Permaculture Trainer?  There 
are less than 30 certified teachers world wide.  I understand Bill and David 
not being listed, but all should consider this step in terms of consistency 
(PDC course content consistent with the Design Manual and presented by 
someone who took the PDC themselves).

Only those listed on this page may issue the PRI/Tagari official 
certificates.  Geoff guessed around eight were still being processed from the 
US alone when I spoke with him a few weeks ago (High Falls, NY).  Geoff will 
list courses by certified Permaculture teachers on his PRI web site upon 
request.
