Passing of Former NDACT Board Member, John Herndon

Farewell to John Herndon

We are sad to report the passing of one of our Mega Quarry fighters.

John Herndon was a former Agriculture Commissioner of Connecticut,

past NDACT board member and long-time resident of Mulmur before

moving recently to Prince Edward County. While living in Mulmur, John

and his wife, Tidi, hosted a special First Nations blessing ceremony in

2011 at the large lake on their stunning property. The lake is fed by the

aquifer once threatened by the mega quarry and has spiritual

significance for the First Nations.


During the Christmas break of 2011, a reporter from Fortune magazine

arrived from New York to write a story about the mega quarry and the

farmers fighting it. John gave us a tour of his land and the barn filled

with his beloved animals, including the strangest black llama I've ever

seen. (It resembled a huge black poodle) The reporter said afterward

"That fella is quite the character." He certainly was.

Our condolences to Tidi and the Herndon family.
