I was stunned to read about Alan Bonander. He was one of the first people I heard speak at the Burlingame third Tuesday support group meeting when I joined. I thought he was tremendously brave and inspirational and I feel that he offered a lot to our listserv. - he was a very fine writer and projected an air of dependability. I will miss his sharing with us. My sympathy to his family. Best, Liz Southwood
