I found this poem that Dan wrote some time ago and thought since we lost him a year ago I'd share.
Winter of the Hawks
It was the winter of the hawks..
they sat atop every post, pole & precipice
searching, ever searching for something.
So was I.
They were looking to find something,
I was looking for something I lost.
They were destined to be
more successful than I.
They are the
guardian spirits
each one is the same,
ghostly posted at every mile.
When my time has come,
the last breath has left my body
I hope my children
will take my heart,
and feed it to the Hawks.
Watching them soar,
flying to the four directions
giving me flight,
one last freedom.
When one I love
sees a hawk circling above,
or watching from high atop his perch,
they?ll wonder if he contains my spirit.
In truth, I believe they all do.

not everyone has the same feelings towards another member here. one person was allowed to come back recently . some liked him some didn't.
I listened to a lot of members bad mouth Spartacus. I never had a problem with him, not to mention he did a lot for the kids Christmas
This is sad news.
Once about eight to ten years ago I received an email from him out of the blue. This was a time in Dan's life that he had stopped posting due to, as I recall, having become disenchanted with the subject interaction on the forums. Not long after we had exchanged a few messages he began posting again, and I for one was a grateful beneficiary of his presence right up to the passing of his great spirit...as I am certain the vast majority of regulars here at GB...and visitors were as well.
Dan, thanks for being my friend.
