I Don't Want To Say Good-Bye

Over a week ago Brother Colombo of the Abbey of Gethsemani forwarded a dozen or so photographs of Alban for inclusion on this web page. The time since has been spent trying to best determine how to present them with the most profound impact - a manner in which both Alban's loving life and his solemn passing can be most effectively communicated and lucidly understood.

Perhaps this creative insecurity and its resultant delays to this posting were a blessing, for Brother Colombo has since created a video from those images that does more to capture the emotions of those photographs than anything we could have conjured here. Please enjoy this brief retrospective of Uncle Tom and join us in thanking Colombo for all of his efforts. May God Bless you Brother.
