A smiling Henry Carey was the first person to welcome me to St. John’s College when I pulled into the parking lot in 1969. I had just driven across the country in my aging Ford Fairlane; he was driving a French Peugeot, perhaps the only Peugeot in Santa Fe at the time. Having grown up in car-centric Detroit, I was duly impressed. Henry died April 24 following a lifetime of work in forest conservation.
