Danny Boy. You invoke only fond memories of our time together. I think it's true the best people come from the Midwest. "In any event" was my favorite lead in of yours to a great story or a political comment, always entertaining and never middle of the road. You always had a mischievous smile to greet me as I walked in the Outback, and you even took me away from the "A" section as the Dan Gravity was in full force. You lived a full life, one that many would envy and you left a lasting impression on me and your friends here in So Cal. Godspeed and say hello to my Pops, in any event. Peace!
