He moved in permanently in 1973, first behind Nepenthe into an old cabin which he
rebuilt, and 17 years later into the Coastlands, where he served as its president for 20 years. He was president of the Big Sur Historical Society, a founding docent of Pt. Sur Historic Lighthouse State Park, a director of Big Sur Natural History Assn, and served as the resident Realtor , driving nearly all the back roads and hiking streams, canyons and rugged mountains where he met most of the people whose tales he tells. He served also as the resident land use planner for those who sought to build under the very stringent guidlines of more than 30 overlapping governmental agencies which fought with the residents over control of this wild and scenic coast. He was also a member of the "boatless" Big Sur Yacht Club.показать меньше
