Bubba,
How sad and inspiring at the same time. What a way to leave your
mark on this world--even if for only a limited time.
Thanks for posting this.

As I've told Bubba many times, I think of this story often. He sent it to me probably the second or third e-mail between he and I. Those e-mails started about 10 months ago or so. Funny, he has a tendency to send it through again every time I start whining a little too loudly (via the internet)about how crummy I am at this. For all of us old guys (and you youngsters too) this Tribute to, and about Dan should keep us going a little bit longer and harder if we just pause a second or so and think about it. Later..............Mike

I've updated the tribute site with a link to the annual Dan Borrey Memorial Meet in Belgium each year. It's at the bottom of the page. Thanks! Bubba
