DANIEL W. GADE

NOW I AM WRITING THE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF THE VILCANOTA URUBAMBA SACRED VALLEY AND DEDICATE YOU, AQUILINA AND WASHINGTON H GALIANO SANCHEZ

Since my early days as an anthropology student in Peru and later at the University of Michigan, Dans papers inspire much of my academic work. At some point we exchanged letters, but only had the chnace to meet him in 2014 during a symposia in Cusco. His many papers on my country have are an invaluable contribution to the knowledge of the environment and peoples of my country. Hope some day his papers are made available in Sapnish for students from this part of the world.

My condolences to the Gade family. Dan was a very important mentor to me when I was a young geographer, always encouraging me in my research and sharing his insights. I appreciate all that he did, so selflessly, for me and so many other geographers. He will be missed.

I hope I helped him in some small way.

My deepest condolences to Mary. I first met Dan more than 40 years ago when I was hired by UVM in 1968 and had my office in the Old Mill. The Geography Department was on the first floor and I got to know its small and hardy band of unique personalities and scholars -- Ted Miles, Hal Meeks, and Gar Barnum. Dan had the greatest breadth of interests of anyone that I knew on campus. His creative contributions to the multiple fields of research that he enhanced will be his lasting legacy. ...

I was saddened by his passing, I valued his wide range of interests, his scholarship and intriguing publications, his humanity.

Vielen Dank!

What a fantastic mind Prof. Gade had, he leaves an indelible mark on cultural geography writing and thinking. I will treasure our conversations forever. Thank you Dan for so much.

Daniel was an amazing individual, whom I had the privilege to know personally starting about 20 years ago. He was always active intellectually and was more engaged in scholarly research and publication in "retirement" than are most full-time professors. Yet he was a humble man, never boastful, and always supportive of colleagues. I have attached a pic from the 2014 CLAG conference in Panama, where some of us rode the Panama Railway from Panama City to Colon; he was chatting with Carl...
