[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Brian Stanfield

[Joyce Sloan]

Jeanette,

I am deeply saddened to hear that Brian has died.  Though it has been many
years ago, I have very fond memories of him from our days of teaching in the
Academy.  I especially remember his whimsical approach to the spirit
dimension.  What a giant of a man!

My prayer for God's Peace is with you.

Joyce Ollison Sloan
