dave armstrong came to be with alan for his last week at lamb school. while here dave set up a school bell and a sound system for us. it will be much abhorred by our neighbours but only until we get the volume adjusted down. it is good to have friends and as alan's friend you instantly became ours.
it is a mark of everybody's appreciation for the friendship and appreciation for alan that so many of us, i think it was pretty much all the staff, showed up for the farewell at alan's house. alan will be remembered at lamb school for his friendship towards everyone and for his willingness to try his hands at any task, to work hard at them, and for the ability to come out shining regardless of whether the task was hard or silly or both.
alan will also be remembered for his deep thoughts and keen interest in the difficult issues that face people at lamb and in bangladesh. he will be remembered for asking difficult and engaging questions that never allowed any kind of superficiality.
you were another of God's good gifts to us at lamb school. we will remember you and be sad for a while, but then our memories will hold only the blessing that you were.
