Alice and Richard exemplify the amazing convergence of Zen and Tantra that took in the early days of the sangha of Trungpa Rinpoche students. Alice served in many roles over the years, but primarily as a remarkable dharma teacher. She combined deep dharma understanding and practice, and she embodied humility, earthiness, and humor. For me, Alice was both a friend and an example of steady dedication—with a hint of outrageousness around the edges. I will miss her.
