:-) My wife and I got a chuckle from this observation, Jerry! We were
quite different people, and Alan had very few people skills. He worked
as a video tape editor for the PBS in the Twin Cities. He was very good
at what he did, but he had no life outside of work and was very
isolated. I was a school social worker and worked with children aged 3
to 14, their families and teachers - a line of work that helps you
develop empathy, compassion, understanding different points of view,
gentleness, and the use of the encouraging word.

Such is life!

I can't imagine what it must be like to lose two brothers in a matter of
days. Very sorry to hear it, Dave.

Dave, I am a religious person and I only have a small amount of "faith" but
I hope at this time the words below will give you some small support.

May Our God of Love give you and your family His Peace and Understanding in
this sorrowful time.

Remember both of your brothers with love and the only the good times you had
with them.

Dave in Plymouth UK

I just got back from a month in UK - for the funeral of my mother. I lost
my brother in May last year - who seems to have shared some of Alan's
qualities.

Please accept my sincere condolences

Do/did you deal with kids with Aspergers at all?

Thanks, Shalom. Yes, I did deal with children who were high-functioning
with autism and also diagnosed with Aspergers. I always felt that they
had an intense feeling life.
