Sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. He and his twin Don and their families were always present at the annual Tribe of Jacob reunions in Weaverville and both will be missed. My mother, Dorothy B. Weaver, who taught English, talked of teaching both Dan and Don at Weaverville High School in the 1940’s.
Marlene , our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
Our prayers and sympathy go out to the loving family of Dan.
