Not sure what to say?

I last posted here around Alan’s passing in 2017, some seven years ago. He often comes up in conversation today. Time moves on: Marty (who we look after, and who still lives at Tower West), will be ninety this year, Cynthia has now retired and I am now 70.

I am honored to have had the great pleasure of seeing Alan right before 2016 Christmastime.. We had a very fun visit and found ourselves reminiscing even I had forgotten his VAST array of professional experience including but not limited to: most recently, ODADA, on his own before that, John Saladino for over six years, BibliowiczNelliganKreigel for several years and of course SOM (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) for at least 12 years, where we sat right across from each other for several...
