John will be missed by many BLMer's who worked with him. He was energenic and inovative, a pioneer just when we thought the West was settled. If you read to the bottom of this email, Nyleen who works for the SWCD in Soccorro is also a leader and full of energy. She and John worked together for years on Saltcedar projects. It's amazing that even after one of them left this life, they found a way to help the other.

tranplant operation and is currently in the Recovery unit (ICU). No

PLEASE PUT NYLEEN TROXEL-STOWE ON YOUR PRAYER LISTS!

We have a major God-thing going on!

Our dear friend and collegue John Taylor who worked for years for the US F&W on the Bosque del Apache restoring riparian areas from Salt Cedar to native vegetation died at a very young age. His family knew that Nyleen needed kidneys and the miracle of life is that John was a perfect match for Nyleen. We need to keep John's family in our prayers also. His father is a wonderful supporter of the soil and water conservation districts also--State Representative John Paul Taylor. Please say a special prayer for Nyleen and her husband and we will report progress as soon as we know more.

Nyleen is in Michigan right now waiting for her transplant surgery; she is scheduled for surgery tomorrow the 29th at 7:30 a.m. their time. It is a six hour surgery. Her husband said he would call me when she got out and I will get in touch. Can you forward her hospital info to everyone:
