In 1979 I moved in to a “quad” apartment on Alder Street in Eugene, Oregon. I was a sophomore at the University of Oregon. One of my quad mates was Allan Routh. For 28 years until his untimely passing at the age of 46 I had the honor of being his friend. Allan was a talented writer who left behind some finished and unfinished stories and one completed novel. After his death I decided that I wanted to help him achieve his goal of publishing his novel The Compleat Executionist. With the magic of self-publishing and the help of Amazon Publishing on the tenth anniversary of his passing Allan Routh became a published novelist. Here is a link to his book on Amazon. I highly recommend it. The Compleat Executionist
A Poem to my Father
