I too have recently read 'May' and was inspired by this famous couple.
They gave a workshop in Wellington New Zealand in the 70s, and there I got
an egg-cup which I treasure - they must have been fund-raising for their
projects.
Just checked the book about Harry's death : he had a serious heart attach in
1984 during a lecture tour in California (which included field trips in the
Mojave desert) but recovered and returned to New Zealand where he lived
another 2 years, dying in July 1986.
