Alan November and Bob Pearlman together developed the Closing Keynote for the 2003 National Conference of the Specialist Schools Trust, which comprises 1400 secondary schools in England. Unfortunately, Alan had a medical emergency and had to fly home, so Bob presented the recommendations that Alan and he had co-developed.

Note: Alan had successful eye surgery. He is OK and back in the field in the U.S. and internationally.
