In our teens we called him Danny. We hung around in the veterans project in Beverly. I want to say he lived in the project because his dad was in the service at that time. Lost track of Danny & Karen for many years. We finally reunited & had dinner together a couple yrs ago. Will never forget that night & will never forget Danny. He was a stand up guy & always a gentleman. He will dearly be missed.
