Dawn Bowlani (sp?) said she left her little girl to watch with Brian (at the Shambhala Center), and panicked when she could not find him. This is quite natural for a young mother. I assured her she had absolutely nothing to worry about. Very soon later her child showed up with Brian. He said she wanted to go downstairs, so he followed her and returned with her as soon as he could. It was a most touching memory of Brian for me. Brian gave me a CD of Ruth Brown, a black blues singer. It was one of the most important gifts I have ever received. I listened to it over and over and realized how wonderful it was to have something in common with another human being. Just a couple of years ago, I found out there was a performer in Denver presenting a memorial of Ruth Brown's songs. I called Brian to see if he could go with me. He could not. The performer was talented, but unfortunately, she chose none of the songs on that album we loved so much. I reported this to Brian with our shared disappointment. That was the last time I talked to him. I miss him greatly.
