A berlated thanks to all of you who filled me in on the details of Alan's untimely death. I was only an electronic friend -- and for only several months. Yet I had a feeling of connection with him and was well aware of his intellect as well as his spirit. Obviously others of you have felt the same way. Thank you again.
