John Perry Barlow, 70, Dies; Championed an Unfettered Internet - The New York Times

http://ift.tt/2C3ZGXX

He was born on Oct. 3, 1947, in northwestern Wyoming, near Pinedale, on a ranch that a great-uncle had started in 1907. His parents were Norman Barlow, a Republican state legislator, and the former Miriam Jenkins. John attended a one-room elementary school. Brought up in the Mormon faith, he was barred from watching television until he was in the sixth grade. As a rambunctious teenager prone to discipline and academic lapses, he was dispatched by his parents to Fountain Valley School in Colorado. He described it as “a great place for people who are intelligent and intractable.”
