CSPA Impacted by Terrorism, Sept. 2001
Excerpted from San Francisco Chronicle
Alan Beaven, 48, was a dedicated attorney
with a law firm on California Street in San Francisco who battled
for cleaner water on behalf of
California sport fishermen.
Beaven, a passenger on Flight 93,
was returning to California to prepare for a clean-water case
in Sacramento, said Joseph Tabacco Jr., a
partner in the firm of Berman DeValerio Pease Tabacco Burt &
Pucillo.
"He was committed to the environment,
he was committed to clean water, he wanted to make sure that people
who were polluting streams and
rivers stopped doing it," said Jim Crenshaw, president of
the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance.
"He wanted to make the world a better place."
Beaven was about to take a year's
sabbatical to move to Bombay and perform volunteer work for world
peace and tolerance on behalf of the
Syda Foundation, which promotes yoga and meditation, two of Beaven's
passions.
We lost a great eco warrior and fine human being. He'll be sorely missed! -John Beuttler
