Dear People - My name is Kent Christian Isaly, and today, Tuesday, March 9th, 1999, I lost the person most dear to me - my father, Christian Day Isaly. Over the years, I have met so many people who knew my father, and the wealth of love has always been a gift to me. And he continues to share those gifts every day. I know that the NAMES Project* was a special place for him, filled with special people and only one of the places where my father found and shared love. I would like to ask anyone who would like to share with me a story, an impression, a meeting, a list of fragments, to please do so. Any format - pen, email, crayon, anything. I would like to collect these, and let all those who share have copies, along with his family, that we may continue to enjoy the precious gift that is Chris Isaly. If you have any questions, I can be reached at the mailing and email addresses below. Thank You. Kent C. Isaly 7624 Hollister Ave. #114 Goleta CA 93117 kent@eyez-r-us.com * I wrote this at the NAMES project, a few hours after Dad died. After Bonnie got me a hot cup of coffee, we talked and I cried. I made a few copies of this letter, then changed NAMES to read ECRA, then AA, and finally, D.C. I was trying to specify groups of people that Dad had been close to, but really the list is huge. I know people here in Santa Barbara, in Springfield, Illinois, Chicago, San Francisco... all special people my father cared for. Perhaps the sentence should read "I know that the world was a special place for him, filled with special people and only one of the places where my father found and shared love." Please help me give this gift to all who love him.
