| Just thought I'd post this paragraph from an email that Bobby Shew sent me. He was a close friend of Alans for many years having worked with him on numerous occasions.
"Alan has been alot in touch with me these past few months as well. I
think about 6 months or so ago, he started phoning regularly. We had
some wonderful, NORMAL conversations. I was pleasantly surprised that he
seemed very much like his old self, even the chuckle was back. He sent
me three arrangements he just did for me. I have yet to copy the parts
and run thru them. WIth his untimely passing, I'll make it an even
higher priority to get them done as they could very likely be some of
his last writing."
All the best. Noel.
