Re: In Memoriam: Tog Tan
I have to say that for the past 2 years, whenever I thought of Tog, it was with a lump in my throat and a prickle in my eyes. Yet now I'm remembering more and more of his sense of humor, of his enthusiasm for the plant (and animal) world we all share, and for his generosity to all of us. Stephanie, if you read this, know that your Dad instilled in us many of his traits that we so admired. That well may be Tog Tan's greatest gift of all to us.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
