I was a former student of his at Concord High. My husband teases me that I'm a French obsessive and it 100% started with Alan. He put his heart into everything he did and taught us how to live - the baking, the garden, the trip to France! Through it all it was clear that he was the coolest. Always loving in a gruff way. Subtly hilarious. 25 years later I still giggle at his comments.
Merci pour quatre ans de Francais, et tout les souvenirs. Je n'oublierai jamais "Pierre Lu loue le loup", "VACATE THE ALCOVE", et les voyages au "Le Virage". Vous étiez mon préféré - Jean Claude
I just discovered Alan passed away a year ago. I was student at the same baking school in Rouen, and I keep a wonderful memories with Alan who was so fun. I visited him in San Francisco when I was in California in 2005.
Rest in Peace dear Alan
