The Story of Alan M. Kidd, by Judy Roberts, presented at his memorial service. Alan’s parents both came from poor families in the heart of Kentucky Appalachia coal mining country. His mother was the oldest of 5 children, his father from a family of 6. They both attended Berea College* in Kentucky which still today provides affordable higher education to Kentuckians of limited means. TO READ THE REST OF THE STORY, CLICK HERE

ALAN KIDD, a reflection at his memorial service, December 3, 2008 by The Rev. Zander Dunn. Alan Kidd was far above most of us. He had his head in the stars. He was literally interested in the heavens. I’ve chosen three images to help us remember Alan and to help us consider how Alan reflected God in his life. TO READ THE REST OF THE STORY, CLICK HERE

Alan’s final 24, and the week that followed, by T. Richmond. On Saturday night November 29th, about a dozen Islanders were invited for coffee, cider and cookies at the home of friends on the mainland. Arriving at 7pm, we chatted and cookie-ed ourselves into oblivion for two hours. The laughter and fun was infectious, a lot of stories got told and retold. Alan told us all about his new observatory, TO READ THE REST OF THE STORY, CLICK HERE
