Dave,

This was also mentioned on the Cavaliers alumni website, but I didn't realize his wife was a former Norwood member. I know Dan stayed involved with the Cavaliers right up to his untimely death, but I never had the pleasure of meeting him.

Bob: I only knew Dan when he was dating Gayle (and then married her). He was a fun guy and a good fellow. Too bad he was a Cavalier and not an Imperial!
