I heard belatedly about Allan’s death. My thoughts and prayers are with you now.
It’s times like these when I miss Indiana. There are more than a few stories to be shared about one of my favorite people in the whole world. I can still remember the summer that Allan built the fountain in your back yard. He was out there with his shirt off digging around, and I asked him how he got that scar in the middle of his chest and he went on to tell me about a big Indian battle he had been in. That was Allan all around. He was bigger than life to me. He will be missed. Love to all the Russel clan.
