Date: Fri, 11 Jul 1997 11:52:55 -0700 From: Philip Havey Subject: Fill: Bio Somebody requested a bio for puplication, so I gave her this rough copy to work from and I thought it might also answer a number of questions people asked about me in private e-mail. BIO I was born in New Rochelle, New York in 1930. During the Korean Conflict, I became part of a team directed to integrate segregated Air Force bases in the Far East.=20 At the end of hostilities I returned to New Rochelle where I worked to integrate the public school system and spent time as a surveyor on the New York Throughway.=20 After college, I moved to Greenwich Village where I joined the Catholic Worker as an editor on its political action desk. While with the CW, I supported my self inspecting high steel construction work performed by the Iroquois on a number of skyscrapers. I also read my poetry with well known poets at the Deux Magot on the East Side.=20 While with the CW, I took part in the Freedom Ride, protested the Bay of Pigs landing and the New York Air Raid Drill; I also helped direct the logistics for San Francisco to Moscow Peace March as the CW representative on the Committee for Nonviolent Action.=20 Upon leaving the CW, I inspected the laying of suspension cable on the Verazeno Bridge while acting with the Hunter College Children=92s Workshop, the Bread and Puppet Theater and the Living Theater.=20 In 1967, I traveled to San Francisco during the Summer of Love to participate with the Diggers and other civic action groups to overt a disaster.=20 After love wore down, I joined a psychedelic ashram neighboring on Tim Leary=92s Milbrook community.=20 Since I had continuously visited Woodstock since 1961, I moved there in 1968 after Milbrook had been raided as a summer replacement for Albert Grossman=92s gardener just as the Band was coming down from the Pink House, however I soon found a strong need for a crises center and emergency clinic due to the number of NewAge people who already looked upon Woodstock as a place to be visited. I help put together and run =93Family =93 with its =93Soft Landing Machine=94 until 1971 when I was o= ffered a place in a potters=92 commune in Texas, however, once my wife and I entered Santa Fe enroute, we knew we wouldn=92t be going any further.=20 I wrote local articles for the New Mexican to support our return to school where we trained as archeological assistants.=20 A number of digs followed through out the next year before I took a off season job as an editor for the Public Informer, the house organ of the Albuquerque Black Economic League which lasted for three years.=20 In 1980, we moved to Berkeley where I worked as a CETA applicant interviewer until I was hired by the Federal Department of Education. I soon encountered two situations nobody wanted deal with at the time, computers and the union leadership. By the time I reestablished the strength of the union, I was thoroughly convinced by Demming=92s philosophy of total quality management and spent the last five years of my federal career implementing a TQM reorganization of the department in a pilot project. Currently, I am writing full time and helping friends with computer projects. Regards Phil Havey
