Dana, I never will forget how your face lit up the first time you saw my barn in Oregon and the excitement you had in your voice giving me all sorts of advice and ideas for it. Your love for that life always inspired me and I only wish we had more of that time with you. In lieu of our attendance to your memorial service at the church, I will be taking a tribute horseback ride out at Folsom Lake and drinking to you! You are so greatly missed. ---Kristi

Dana was my first Equipment Specialist (GS) Supervisor, who was a very nice man and great Boss at McClellan Air Force Base.
