Alan -

Yet another departure without the opportunity to share ‘remember when …’ stories. Bummer. And in your case, the stories are always great and well told.

I want to congratulate you on a terrific career and an unparalleled contribution to Schulich. You were truly part of the warp and woof of the place, and I will truly miss hearing your unmistakable voice when they finally let us back into the premises.

If there are areas where I felt you and I were true partners in virtue during my years as ADA, it was in our turf delineation efforts vis á vis those who would deny certain designations for new SEEC programs (and us), and vis á vis those in the broader community who might not have fully grasped the value of ‘brand’ in their enthusiasm for just about any initiative (and us).

Hoping that our paths will intersect often in the years ahead -
