Hi Dan, I was glad to be able to talk to you while you were in the hospital, and I am sorry that I didn't get to see you in person. I asked if there was anything I could do for you, and you said to send my prayers. I sent them to you then, and am sending you light and love now from Sunshine.

I saw Dan (Dandi) almost every working day for the last 10 years, stopping by the water store after I got off work. The water store 200 yards from my tiny house, was literally a watering hole for chit-chat, advice and an occasional scolding -- A wake up talk if you will, if you ever felt down and out about something, Dan had another point at which to look at it... Dandi, I miss you terribly, it is still not possible for me to blink back my tears when I think I cannot see you anymore. I know I should be thankful for having had you as long as I did, more than a guide you are an inspiration. Dan, one last favor.? Please send me the winning lottery numbers if you can, OK? I'll share, I promise. Chris Koulouris Mountain View CA
