[edit] Help with the final years

The material on the last portion of Keyes' life becomes vague because this period postdates his autobiography, from which most of the material was drawn. Any assistance in filling in dates and details would be appreciated. --Gary D 09:14, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Awakening The last part of the last paragraph of this section- whicn reads, "Within a month he had drafted the core of his book, Handbook to Higher Consciousness, which would, despite being only self-published, sell in excess of a million copies." should be- He drafted his first Living Love book called, "Living Love- A way to Higher Consciousness." which became the core of his book "Handbook to Higher Consciousness." The Origional book was sold postpaid for $2. There were two editions printed and they were published by Living Love P.O. Box 373, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133.

[edit] The Hundreth Monkey

The Hundredth Monkey, his book on nuclear disarmament, was not copyrighted as Keyes wanted to spread the word as much as possible. The full text is available from http://kloudjin.blogspot.com/2007/01/ken-keyes-hundredth-monkey.html. 121.44.119.3 22:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)KloudJin

[edit] Help with wives' names

He had four wives, and the article has a full name for only the first one. What are the surnames of wives 2, 3, and 4? Bonita, Penny, Lydia? What was Bonita's age? "Much-younger" is not good enough for encyclopedic detail, though apparently the age discrepancy was sufficiently significant or controversial to merit mention. I found a reference to "sixteen years younger" at Answers.com, but the article there appears to be nothing more than an earlier version of the article here. Someone decided to make the years non-specific; why? I hesitate to reverse that choice without knowing if it was made because the Answers.com version is unreliable, or what. I have access to the archives of TIME magazine and the New York Times, but Keyes is not mentioned in either. Associated Press obits reprinted at the external link also do not fully identify the multiple wives. Also, the unnamed "she" who allegedly (mis)managed the Cornucopia location should be named, or the material should be summarized as something like "managerial differences" without going into detail about a mysterious, unnamed-but-specific individual. -- Lisasmall 14:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
