Dear Friends of Permaculture, and dear friends of Scott Pittman
This is his wife, Arina, and I am finally able to gain access to his 
emails and connect with all the people that he cared for.
Jason sent a lovely obituary to the Permaculture Activist (or was it 
Permaculture Magazine?) and I am including it here as well.
A memorial celebration in Scott's honor will take place on October 15th 
in Santa Fe New Mexico. If you would like to attend, please get in touch 
with me at arina0514@gmail.com
If you are not able to attend but wish to celebrate your shared work and 
passion, please consider bone fires, musical extravaganzas, peach 
planing parties. Please share your plans with me so I can share with 
others.
Scott loved peaches and often wrote and talked about the status of his 
favorite peach trees. After he died, we found abundant ripe fruit on two 
trees that were barren this season, only to become loaded with delicious 
sweetness over the four days of our vigil by Scott's side.
Thank you for holding him in your hearts and for continuing the work of 
permaculture.
Sincerely -
Arina Pittman
