Angus Wright

We were so saddened to learn just now of Angus' passing. It was always a joy to visit with Angus at the Prairie Festival at The Land Institute. He would always ask us about EPIC's work in Mexico and Central America. We nurtured the dream of traveling with Angus and Mary to visit the work in regenerative agriculture being done by our Maya program partners in Guatemala. We will certainly miss knowing that he is walking this earth and supporting the work of EPIC.

To his family, I send love and warm thoughts! He was an amazing man! The absolute BEST professor I ever had! He inspired me to be MORE! I often think of his amazing spirit and genuine passion for the Environment with an equal passion for safety of people that work the land. I hope I make his spirit proud with my work to continue those passions.

I am so saddened to hear this. Angus was such an inspiration to me. My eldest son's middle name is Angus, in honor of Professor Wright. He really changed the world and inspired generations of informed adults.

Angus was the best teacher I ever had. He taught me how to think critically. He was the first person to ever believe in my abilities and without his encouragement I would never have even known that graduate school was possible for someone like me.
