Iris Keltz writes us:
Alfred's last birthday party on the mesa brought us together – one more time – We will never forget dancing beneath the oceanic sky, in the mud, around a fire and sharing food especially "eating budda & crackers."
Alfred, the Patriarch of the lost tribe dreamed of a better world while searching for utopia the disappointed idealist held our chaotic directions with a magnanimous belly laugh that challenged the darkness reassuring us the storm would pass the sun would shine again.
In his own words: (excerpted from Iris's Scrapbook of a Taos Hippie)
"I left Morningstar that spring along with lots of the people I had gotten to know. I never finished my dissertation, although I still have all my notes. All this happened 30 years ago, but walking through Taos the other day, I saw a guy in the street who looked like he needed a place like Morningstar – a space without shrinks, rules or government sponsorship, a place that left people free to work out their problems. that was the real function of the communes and in that sense both Morningstar and New Buffalo were successful, although not everyone survived their madness."
