Alan and his brother Dennis (became an architect) built the coolest tree house ever. It had three levels and I was only allowed into the lower two but was allowed to peek into the highest but wasn't a "member" so I could only peek into the inner chamber.  I thought it was the ultimate tree house/hideout and by far the best I had ever seen. He was a great guy and a good friend who had a tough upbringing after his dad died in a fire when he was quite young.

Thank you for posting this about Alan.  I love thinking about these classmates who were in our class and are now missed by us.
