It is sad to hear of Danny's passing. It bring back many memories as we were in Boy Scouts for many years together. I remember camping in the back of their farm. Hiking through the swamp to the lake few have ever seen. We used to practice hitting 8 iron shots at each other in the field across the street. I remember he had a hexagon barrel 22 rifle. I also remember baling hay in the fields south of their barn. I'll probably remember other things in the coming days. He was a good friend in high school.
