The word is spreading across the internet and the phone lines that Frank Sander died yesterday.
His profile in our field is of course stupendous, and he is often — with good reason — considered the “father” of the modern ADR movement.
But along with others, I most remember private talks or lunches with him. Indeed, a lunch ten or so years ago with him and his wife Emily taught me more about Quaker process, and the challenges of clerking monthly meetings, than I ever got from any single conversation.
He was a gift.
