EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
“John is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of
California at Santa Barbara, with a double major in Mathematics
and Biology. He is also an articulate poet, and writer; a gifted
composer of classically oriented melodies, and germ motifs; and a
delightfully spontaneous impressionistic artist. John is prolific in
all three endeavors, due to the vast reservoir of his creativity.”
C.M.W. 01-10-98
“Mr. Waters has had two exhibits of his works in the
Humboldt State University Library, one in Fall 1980 and the other
in Fall 1981. All of Mr. Waters' work showed an aggressively
creative aptitude in areas of cornposition, color, and message. His
is undoubtedly a very active and wide-ranging imagination. The
two exhibits were well viewed by Library patrons.”
R.S. 02-26-82
“As both of us have suggested before, perhaps the best solution
might be to find a sympathetic academic researcher--not
necessarily in psychology but rather in almost any, even
peripherally related, field, the main criterion being a sincere
interest in you and your ideas--with whom you could collaborate.
You might have to agree to serve as an example, or even a
"subject," as well as a collaborator.” J.K. and K.P. retired HSU
professors 12-31-97
“I reviewed your various materials including listening to your
cassette tapes. I continue to be impressed with your creative ability
in various areas. Of particular interest to me is your proposed
establishment of a demonstration peace center.” S.O. retiring HSU
professor 10-20-97
“On April 22, 1993 John Waters gave a thirty minute talk on his
independent research on spontaneous creativity and healing to
my Cognitive Psychology (Psych 324) class on the Humboldt
State University campus. Many of the students were receptive
to John and the content of his presentation.” B.E. HSU
professor 09-21-93
“I believe that John is a person who is talented in the creative
aspect and his philosophy is sensible, sensitive, sane, and simple. I
believe that given an opportunity to use his talents and put his
specialty to work, many people would benefit and find their own
creative talent.” L.B. 06-13-93
“As an artist and arts administrator for over 20 years, I have come
in contact with many artists. John has a special vision to share
with the world. His art is lyrical and intense, direct and yet subtle.
Best of all, he is very prolific and brimming with ideas and
concepts.” L.M. 10-13-97
“John has a quick mind and eye for the unusual and original
solutions, but doesn't lose sight of the practical moment to moment
basics of what is really necessary and a foundation to work on.”
E.R. 01-07-97
“John's open-ness and sincerity made it possible for me to pick up
projects I had semi-abandoned out of a kind of lack of faith. in
myself.” E.R. 01-07-97
“John's integrity, ability, and sincerity cannot be questioned. He
needs someone honest who knows "how to play the game" and
"who to know."” J.M.H. 06-25-93
“I would recommend him for working with people who are
exploring the diversity of thought, and I believe he may have
excellent potential in helping people identify their special
talents.”
P.W. HSU professor
