Today I better just mention the sad death of disability activist, dancer and musician Alan Martin. I can’t claim to have known alan very well: we just met a couple of times at Onevoice events, where I remember sharing a dinner table with him. However, he struck me as a truly great person, and an outstanding member of the disability community. As one person on facebook put it, ‘ As a species, humankind is lessened. He was a top fella … Made a difference he did, left the world a better place for having been here.”
