Well, it's very kind of you, but you are certainly amongst the forefront of the Bradbury "family"!

Mi culpa. I should have posted something earlier but have been networking with people about Alan’s passing. I had talked to Alan on Tuesday of last week and he was gone on Thursday. We were planning on going to see the play, “Company”, which is being broadcast in movie theatres this Wednesday, with a group of people.

For those of you on the board that have frequented the plays at the Fremont theatre and wish to pay your respects I promise to let you know when a memorial service will be held.

I am collecting the eulogies being posted here and elsewhere. They will be read by actors of Ray’s Pandemonium Theatre Company, where Alan has been called home for over a decade.

I also saw it on facebook, but didn't know if it would be appropriate to post here.

We're all friends here, Doug ...

I posted Robert Kerr's beautiful photo of Alan and Ray together on the Pillar of Fire Facebook page, and there are several comments and tributes posted there if anyone wants to take a look:

Also, I had posted a photo I took in 2008 of Alan and Mageina Tovah after a Pandemonium Theatre Co. performance of FAHRENHEIT 451 at the Fremont Centre Theatre in South Pasadena. i'm attaching that photo here.

Rest in peace, dear friend ...

Alan was not only a fine director, but a gentleman and a genuinely nice person. He will be truly missed.

Betty Fox, mother of Terry Fox passed away today. Terry Fox has inspired millions of Canadians (and other nations) in the fight against cancer. His mother continued to raise money and awareness for cancer research that Terry started.

I am a friend of Ray Bradbury Week on facebook, I'm pretty sure that is where I saw the news. I'm not sure if that is you, Doug?

I just saw Roses' photo album before seeing your message! There are some great photos from F451 and other shows in there, and Roses' comments are very interesting.
