Draft talk:Gottfried Johannes Müller

Summary; Linkages
Gottfried Muller did many things, but he was known in the USA most for his support of a network of Christian vegetarian orphanages.

That network was variably managed, most notably by Louise Sutermeister in Maryland. However, Thom Hartmann managed the Salem Children's Village in Rumney, New Hampshire, and began developing alternate understandings.

Hartmann obtained three degrees in herbology and homeopathic medicine in the 1970s. Hartmann then moved to New Hampshire to start The New England Salem Children's Village,, which still operates in Rumney, New Hampshire. He was its Executive Director for five years, and on the board of directors for more than 25 years. NESCT's child-care model was based on that of the German Salem International organization, and through his affiliation with that group he helped start international relief programs in Uganda, Colombia, Russia, Israel, India, Australia, and several other countries between 1979 and today.

Hartmann founded International Wholesale Travel and its retail subsidiary Sprayberry Travel in Atlanta in 1983, a business which in the intervening years has generated over a quarter of a billion dollars in revenue. According to their website, Sprayberry Travel was lauded by the Wall Street Journal in 1984 for being one of the early adopters of frequent travel programs analogous to the recently initiated frequent flyer programs of the airline industry. He sold his share in the business in 1986 and retired with his family to Germany to work with the international relief organization Salem International. In the late 1970s, he had been a trainer in advertising and marketing for The American Marketing Centers (now defunct), and in 1987 after returning from Germany founded the Atlanta advertising agency Chandler, MacDonald, Stout, Schneiderman & Poe, Inc., which did business as The Newsletter Factory. He sold his interest in that company in 1996 and retired to Vermont.

Gottfried Müller was living during this time. Gottfried Müller passed in 2009.
