Question
Alan,   Are you the same Alan Kahn who lived in Memphis during the 70's???  This is Susan Widegren, don's sister.  How the heck are you????   Are you still working for Muscular Distrophy and living in Columbus???   I think it has been about 28 years since I have seen you.  I stumbled across this website by accident and couldn't believe it.
