Dan I'll Never Forget You

Dan was one of those good hearted people that could always make you laugh. He was a friend to everyone. I don't think there was one person at school who didn't love Dan! My favorite thing about Dan was he was ALWAYS himself! High School is full of impersonators, but Dan was fearlessly himself and that's another reason everyone respected him and wished they could be a little more like him. He was a true Christian, with a pure love
for everyone no matter who they were. I always looked up to him for this.

Being in Dan's group for the Sweetheart's dance was awesome! To complete our murder mystery dinner we all wore 70's clothes while everyone else was dressed up in formals! Dan of course stole the show! I remember when our group walked in the DJ played four disco songs in a row and Dan's dance moves were the best!

Mr. Grizz was hilarious as Dan's talent was impersonating Madonna, complete with a cone bra. I felt so lucky to chosen as a male backup dancer for the
material girl! That was a great night! I still think he should have won!

I remember how excited I was when Dan asked me to Senior Ball! The theme was Hollywood and the guys planned everything to the tee. Dan and I were respectively Screech and Lisa Turtle and his antics were hilarious. Even the way he asked me to the dance had Dan written all over it, literally. He sent me a newspaper titled the pelican brief with funny articles about life at school. It was definitely my favorite dance in High School because I was lucky enough to go as Dan's date.

In college it was harder to keep in touch, but I was able to visit with Dan when I was in Logan and he lived in a house on 2nd East. We made a newsletter once entitled She Said, He Said?! that should have been published!

When I got married and my husband and I moved out to Hawaii I lost contact with Dan and many other Logan High friends unfortunately. But I always thought of Dan and knew wherever he was he would be making people smile. I
still think he's doing just that.

Dan I Love You Always!
