Ron Barnstone, an early student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, passed away on December 19th in Laredo, Mexico.
I knew of Ron way back, not well but more by reputation. I remember Rinpoche gave him the Shambhala name “Raw Meat”, which was somehow fitting. A colorful character, perhaps Vajradhatu’s version of Pig Pen of the Grateful Dead, but with more panache. He’ll definitely be noticeable when the next go round comes around. Sail on, sailor, sail on.
