I would like to honor Scott on the occasion of his 70th birthday!
Many happy returns to you. Remember, it is just a number! among many!

From my perspective, as owner of this list, Scott has been supportive 
of my efforts regarding management policy, list content and mission and 
long term goals, especially the latter. He has served to uphold useful 
and meaningful standards of the practice and teaching of permaculture; 
in layman's terms, has held the fort in the face of attempts to corrupt 
or dilute those standards. During the many years we have sought to 
develop a common online permaculture database resource, he, through the 
Permaculture Institute, obtained a grant which was used to get the 
project started. Thanks to him, his time and interest, we are much 
further along than we would have been without him. His advice and 
mentoring was of immense value as is his presence in this list.

Along with Scott's accomplishments as a Permaculture teacher,
designer and consultant are the following:

Founder of:
Permaculture Drylands Institute (1986)
Permaculture Institute (1996)
Permaculture Drylands Journal (1987)

Co-founder of:
Permaculture Credit Union (2000)

Recipient of the Permaculture Community Service Award by the 
Permaculture Institute in Australia

Her4e's a toast to Scott on his 70th!

Cheers,
