Dear Jill and family,
So sorry to hear of Dana's passing. I have long and fond memories of him, beginning in the first grade at Lincoln School. But as it often happens, our respective lives and careers cause us to drift apart. I did look forward to seeing him at reunions and was pleased by his achievements. Dana will certainly be missed.
