I met Dan when I went to work at the hospital in Searcy and I´ll never forget the advice he gave me one day when another unit was wanting me to come over there and help them with a patient "credibility kid, credibility " I´m still at the hospital and I give the new social workers the same advice and share that story with them. One day over the intercom they paged "Dr. Dan Bynum" and from then on Dan was affectionately called "Dr. Dan" we spoke on the phone often after he retired and we always laughed about things. I will always remember Dan as my very dear and precious friend.
