Sending love and light to all who knew and loved Alan Nathan, especially his pride and joy, his heartthrob and daughter, Olivia. Olivia, your father adored you! He spoke of you with such pride and awe! You were the love that was his reason for being! He spoke of Molly just as lovingly - I have a feeling Molly was the love of his life. Alan and I went to IU together. Years later, we met up again in Cologne and then later at the Kennedy Center Honors, where he conducted the tribute to Marilyn Horne in 1996. In 2009, he arranged for and invited me to come back to my alma mater, Michigan State University, where he was on the music faculty. He accompanied a recital I gave, where I was presented a distinguished alumni award - something that I'm sure he had a hand in arranging. Alan was thoughtful, brilliant and full of a love for music. Not only that, he was a great guy with a big, open heart. He will be missed. I'm so grateful that our life paths crossed.
