[Steve Hart <stevenlawrencehart@gmail.com>]

Martin Martin Martin Martin Martin...... may you now be in peace. Martin
was very close to Leo, Martina and me helping build The Permaculture
College of Europe. It was a shared passion which excited him. We spoke
collectively together of his health issues that he shared with us. I have
tears in my eyes as I write this. We worked together well. I share all the
responses offered here. Depression is a difficult illness which is very
rarely shared. I know full well for I experience it often myself and have
been saved a number of times by those close to me. We will remember him for
all his warm, positive and constructive energy. Martin Martin Martin Martin
Martin you will always be with us my friend...love Steve Hart
