Dan, you are not forgotten. Can't believe it has been 42 years since we last spoke. You coming onto swings, and me coming off days. Thanks for being a good partner, friend, and locker mate. Can't believe we stuffed both our gear into that little locker but the department hired so many people, so quickly, they ran out of locker space. Miss your friendship and mentorship. Until we meet again,
