We would like to send our sincere condolences to the Dansky family. It's so sad to see all the neighbors I remember gradually leave us. My funniest memory of Mrs. Dansky was just about every night when when she would call Peter to dinner. She never called for Michael or Jeryl -- always Peter. I knew it was Mrs. Dansky because she was the only mom on the hill who pronounced her r's.We also remember Dr. Dansky's kind words of encouragement in our early days when Greg embarked on his graduate education in Poultry Science at the University of Georgia. Mayflower Road is just not the same. We're so sorry for your loss but appreciate some good memories of Dr. and Mrs. Dansky. Sincerely, Holly and Greg Lanza
