One could go into such a long list of superlatives – but when all is said and done he simply embodied the best that humankind has to offer. We feel a need to do something to honour his passing. When I worked with Brian in Area Montreal, we often discussed the plight of Canada’s First Peoples, and I know Brian cared deeply about their suffering. Mariam and I are spearheading the project described in the attachment. We want to dedicate our own work on this project in Brian’s memory. Not with fanfare. Fanfare was not Brian’s thing. But just in our own hearts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are thinking of you all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With love and the deepest respect.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Stan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><a href="mailto:stangibson@ecologos.ca">stangibson@ecologos.ca</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>647-347-1004 (Toronto)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>647-473-6147 (Cell)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>705-744-7619 (North Bay)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
