Henry Dakin

dear Henry, I never got to meet you but i'v heard so many incredible things about you from my mom and aunts (rose my mom, adriana and Julia) and Grammy. I wish I could have met you. its been 13 years sense your death and I'm 12 now, and went to Waldorf schools for grade school but I'm in a public middle school now. thank you

Seems Henry lives on in all the people who were near him. He helped me find my voice by offering an office, an ear to Californians in Dialogue for the Common Good, state-wide college campus project w Frances Moore Lappe and a Goals 2000 satellite Series I ran for SF for a year and more...anyone who came into 3220 Sacramento Street had a marvelous tale to tell so I brought in KGO TV for UNICEF events ... sparkling memories still.

I did not know Mr.Dakin but I was Alex Dakin roommate at the Athenian School in Danville. I will never forget my parents bringing me the San Francisco Chronicle while I was home for Christmas break, telling the story of the crash of their plane. I am now 73 years old & have never forgotten about about the family & dear Alex and often wonder about their remaining son & hope he has had a good life. I am so sorry for the loss of another member of your family.

I am thankful for all you did while you were here. I remember a poster that showed all the known frequencies of energy at 3220. I´m quite sure your energy, real as reality itself enriches us still.

I met Henry around 1984, in his first Washington Street office, where he hired me to transcribe (using WordStar!) the first two Conference on the Fate of the Earth volumes. Later I moved to 3220 and worked on other editing projects for him. Henry opened my eyes to a much bigger world than I'd known previously. 3220 was alive all day, every day, and often all night with all the projects he supported to make our world a better place. I just thought to look him up, and wish he was still here so...

A great fantastic person I used to visit Henry at his office 3220 sacremento Street San Francisco I met prince Alfred Von liechstenstien threw Henry daken we had great fun together dearly missed

Henry and Vergilia Dakin have been dear friends and always the most honest and generous people I know. May Vergilia and her children continue and have wonderful lives.

Henry inspired me not to be afraid of computers and the language of the future. Petrified, I listened, made mistakes and with a shaky hand slowly learned. Henry was more than a patient teacher. Thank you again Henry. Jessica

Dear Henry, I just learned of your passing, and am so sorry we won't connect in the flesh any more. I saw you last at the How Weird Festival circa May of 2005 in SF. I have a photo of you from then as well, that I will get to your family when I come across it in my archives. You were one of the very first of those who've helped me and my vision to become manifest during my "last five years" working toward the establishment of Creativity Cafe; a Community Edutainment Venue. You helped...
