Given our pain and regret here, I suggest that we all honor Carl with the Tollander Pledge. I will go first.

Dear colleagues

Inconsideration of our long association, and the many kindness you have bestowed on me over the years, IF I become aware that I’m likely to die in some near future, I pledge to let you know. I will NOT hope for any specific response to that notification. I particularly will NOT hope for “expressions of thoughts, prayers, and feelings, etc.”.  I will take it as GRANTED that, if I have any specific needs, I can call on you for help. But I WILL hope  that we can take the opportunity to complete any unfinished business we might have.  If I don’t hear from you, I will assume that I have won all the arguments and that everything is fine!

Thanks, as always, for your friendship and wise counsel

Nick

Some of you will remember Carl Tollander, who was a regular attendees on Friday mornings until a few years ago.
