To Al's family,
I am a screenwriter today because of your loved one. He was an amazing teacher, and he meant the world to me. I will never, ever forget him. I'm sure he left many wonderful memories. His words will echo in my mind for as long as I write. My deepest condolences.
Sincerely,

To the family of Alfred Brenner,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Brenner. I was a student of his in the late 70's at UCLA and then was invited by him to be part of his private work shops. He was a very pleasant man with a nice smile. His passion for writing was contagious. I have thought about him often over the years as I have continued to write, wondering what he would say or what advise he might give me. I know he will be dearly missed.
God Bless him and may...
