Karen, I am so sorry to hear about Dan. Dan and I started EFCO the same day, January 19, 1976. Back then, we were both in drafting. I worked at EFCO for 25 years and enjoyed chatting with Dan. After that, I came to Principal and still was able to chat with both you and Dan. I will always remember seeing Dan and you at 7am in the Tower after you both worked out. I think the last time I saw Dan was a few months ago as you both continued to work out in the Tower after leaving Principal. Dan was a great guy and I am glad he was my friend for so many years!
