I wet to Tomales High School with Dan Thornton. He was a great athlete, he played varsity football starting in his sophomore year and was the only player to play the entire game. He was also a great wrestler who it seemed always won his matches and was a great track runner too. He was a kind guy, not rowdy and treated everyone with kindness. RIP Dan.

I went to school with Daniel throughout the 1960´s. He was always a kind and gentle person, good spirited with a warm sense of humor. I keep those good memories with me. -Madelyn
