Dear Viv and All<br><br>Such sad new, having just received Brian's every cheery newsletter yesterday. <br><br>And such lovely memories to treasure. I had the great privilege - again - to meet up with Brian in Taipei at the recent WOSonOS and he then came on to Hong Kong for a few days. Where he joined Carmen and me for dinner one night and we had a most memorable time. <br>
<br>My heart goes out to all his many friends and colleagues whose lives Brian touched so well. <br><br>Love <br><br>Alan <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 2 February 2010 14:22, Viv McWaters <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:viv@thereef.com.au">viv@thereef.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am in such shock right now and very, very sad. Brian has been a dear friend, and mentor for many years and we have been working and playing together since the early 1990s. Most recently we offered Open Space Training here in Melbourne, usually once or twice a year. In fact, we were trying to get dates sorted for this coming March. Brian would often come and have dinner with us here at Bells Beach. We'd share food, wine and stories. We travelled together to WOSonOS events in Vancouver, Goa and San Francisco, and hosted WOsonOS in the now destroyed town of Marysville. Brian went to as many OSonOs events as he could and always kept me up-to-date with all of the OS community shenanigans. I have so many great memories of Brian I don't even know where to start. I will keep you informed of details regarding the funeral.<br>
<br>
Best<br>
