A Tribute to Allen Dresdner – August 8, 1996 – Sandra Dresdner
To the good people of Dresdner Robin:
...Allen's smile lighting up the parking lot as he saw old friends stepping out of their cars
...working the room like he was king of the hill
...line dancing with total concentration (to compensate for being rhythmically-challenged)
...listening sheepishly to the warmest expressions of affection and respect
...speaking so proudly to all of you about what you meant to him
...driving home an incredulous bus beaming, totally happy man
These are the images that keep fleeting though my mind, and for which I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
Good luck to you all.
With warmest regards -
Sandra
