. Allan was born in the town his Mormon ancestors settled. He was the youngest of six children. As a young boy, he loved hiking in Waterton National Park, where his family spent summers. This is also where he developed his extraordinary work ethic. He sold pop to tourists, then collected and returned the empties for a refund. He also worked at his parents’ general store, at the Waterton Prince of Wales Hotel and on a tour boat that cruised the lake.
Before his 30th birthday, Allan obtained degrees in history and political science, an MSc in International Administration from Brigham Young University in Utah and a PhD in Organizational Theory and Development from Syracuse University in New York. While he loved Kathy dearly, the gay liberation movement in the 1970s prompted a period of deep introspection and self-reflection, culminating in Allan coming out. While his marriage to Kathy ended, the two remained friends and co-parents until Kathy died in 1985. Allan continued to raise his daughters, negotiating the complex intersections of faith, sexuality and grief with dedication, compassion and humour.
