Description
In 1967, while enrolled at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI), William Cook attended undergrad and graduate business classes taught by PROF. MAUSER. They became friends and handball partners. Later that year Rose, William’s soon to be wife, was introduced to Prof. Mauser. For many years the three of them would enjoy spirited conversations at the Traffic Jam & Snug Tavern. In 1969, Prof. Mauser attended the Cook’s wedding and later became a “third gramps” to their twins Jai and Heather. Prof. Mauser was family and that became abundantly clear when Rose became his primary caregiver later in his life.
For the next several decades, Prof. Mauser and the Cooks discussed the framework and goals of the proposed Mauser Harmony With Nature Foundation. The core concept was simple. The Foundation would promote Prof. Mauser's lifelong dream of educating others about living in harmony with nature. It would also support business practices and products that are environmentally friendly.
