Stories to Share

Posted on Caringbridge, Dec 2014:

I’ve been thinking recently how much I have learned and continue to learn from and with Alan and how grateful I feel towards him. Though I readily admit my view is certainly tinted by the lover’s rose, I’d venture I’m not the only one who feels they have learned from Alan.

 

So: an invitation to share your stories. I broached the idea with Alan and he said it would be very meaningful to have the opportunity to hear from you—people whose lives have intersected with his, friends and family. The questions I’ve been thinking of include:

 

  • What have you learned / are you learning from Alan?

  • What gift has he given / is he giving you?

 

Or, more simply: is there a particular story you would like to share—perhaps a meaningful interaction or something that changed for you because of time you spent together…

After Sarah posted this request on Caringbridge, an incredible outpouring of letters and emails arrived.

Thank you to all who shared a window on how Alan touched your lives.
