</span></font></font>
<blockquote type="cite"><font size="5"><font

We're very saddened to report that our dear friend
and colleague Ralph Copleman, a founding member of
Future Search Network, died last night in Mt.
Sinai hospital, New York City. The details of his
illness are still not certain. He was diagnosed
with lymphoma in the spring but it was treated and
under control. All was well until he got an
unexplained fever this week. He went into distress
and his organs failed.<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><font size="5"><font
face="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">Ralph was 65. He had
celebrated his 60th birthday with a memorable
coast-to-coast bicycle ride during which he
included many of us vicariously by sending email
stories of his adventures from the Rockies, across
the Great Plains, and all the way home. He was for
many years an OD consultant and large group
practitioner. He organized FS Network pro bono
training in New Jersey and helped do the same in
Seattle and D.C. In Berrien County, MI, he
co-facilitated a critical business sector FS that
contributed to the turn-around of that community.<br>
</span></font></font></blockquote>
<font size="5"><font face="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></font></font>
<blockquote type="cite"><font size="5"><font
face="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">Some years ago he gave up
general consulting to become a sustainability
advocate, organizing Future Searches to that end,
founding an ongoing organization, Sustainable
Lawrence (NJ), in his home town and helping other
communities do likewise. We had the privilege also
of knowing him as a client a few years ago when he
recruited us to run a pro bono FS for Delaware
Valley environmental organizations. In October
Ralph celebrated his retirement from Sustainable
Lawrence and was looking forward to getting back
on his bike. <br>
</span></font></font></blockquote>
<font size="5"><font face="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></font></font>
<blockquote type="cite"><font size="5"><font
face="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">It is hard to comprehend
that we have lost Ralph's advice and support.
Ralph's was a voice for all things humane, just,
daring and loving, for people and our planet. He
was usually among the first responders to
strategic questions on the FSN listserve, He was
full of encouragement, practical advice, and
provocative questions. He was quick to share his
broad experience and systems knowledge. He was one
of the early integrators of Future Search and Open
Space. He saw that each had a place in an ongoing
change strategy and understood how each reinforced
the other.<br>
<br>
One way to honor Ralph would be a gift to the
Network and/or Sustainable Lawrence in his name or
to any charity of your choice. If you will
respond to the listserve, we will collect your
thoughts and pass them to his family--his wife
Joyce, his two sons, daughters-in-law and
grandchildren.<br>
<br>
Warm wishes to all at this very sad time. We have
lost a loving friend and a good person who cared
about this world.<br>
