So sorry Duane Heine & family members. My husband Art Allison (Tree) & I became friends with Al through business transactions. He also was one of my instructors for Kansas Hunter Safety Program. He was a citizen that cared about his community. He will be missed by many. RIP AL!

Alan and I were born the same day in the same hospital, and our mothers made friends, admiring each others babies and saying how perfect and cute we were. I always teased him about being my twin, and we would laugh. It was a lot of fun. He was very dear to me. The world will not be quite the same for me without him.
