Mardy Murie Tribute

John Denver and Mardy Murie mid-1990's


John Denver's friendship with Mardy Murie was an example of how he honored those who came before him and he respected her work in preserving and working toward the Alaska Land's Act in 1980.

He would visit her regularly when he was in Wyoming.  John had read all her and Olas' books.  He was moved to write the love song, "A Song For All Lovers" in tribute to them.

Additionally, you may watch this wonderful tribute video prepared in 1996 by Wyoming Public Broadcasting here at this link: Tribute show

It's works and love like this that reminds us of why we continue on caring about the environment and those who paved the way.
