Autorenporträt

Richard Danforth Wright (1933-2012) earned a BA from Williams College, majoring in psychology, and two MAs, including one from Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English. He was a lifelong student and a teacher of many different subjects, including English. He also led library reading groups for the Vermont Council on the Humanities and the Vermont Center for the Book, read widely, wrote many reviews of new books, led meditation classes for the Wellness Center of the local hospital, and as a Representative of what was then known as Sufi Order International (now the Inayati Order), for thirty years taught classes on meditation and a wide variety of nondenominational spiritual subjects at his nonprofit center. Richard also had been a trustee of the American Society of Dowsers and an editor of their journal, The American Dowser. In the mid-1980s he and T. Edward Ross 2nd developed a dowsing school focused on mind reach that attracted participants with scientific and medical backgrounds. Richard wrote articles, gave many talks on dowsing, and chaired dowsing and consciousness symposia he and his wife organized as part of three national dowsing conventions they planned. Richard had a great interest in music, played several instruments, and had been Executive Director of the North Country Concert Association. He was very much attuned to the natural world and took great pleasure in nature and from the companionship of wonderful dogs. He was a loyal, hardworking, humorous, and kind man who was valued very highly by those who came to know him. As the Irish say, "His like will not be seen again."
