Throughout his personal life and professional career, John Denver had countless friends, more than he ever really seemed to imagine. With that great smile and his friendly, easy manner, people with whom he came into contact were quick to realize that "what they saw is what they got."

This photo album and the next one, take a visual look at some of JD's personal friends and professional colleagues. Some pictures are just shots of these people while others show John sharing moments with them.

If anyone has any additional photos that should be shared in this (or any other) album, please send them to me at davesnouffer@accesstoledo.com. Pictures of Milt Okun, Hal Thau, Lee Holdridge and Jerry Weintraub would especially be appreciated.

Below most of the pictures are links to web sites of John's friends and colleagues. Be sure to visit them to find out more about these people with whom John shared so much!

The MIDI of "Follow Me" was sequenced by Donald C. Kreifels.
