View all 130 ReflectionsI lost contact with Dan after the academy as we were members of the 77th Recruit Class in Tallahassee Florida. Some many years later I ran into Dan during an inservice training class at the Academy. Dan was the instructor for the class..... I was so impressed with Dan as he was an awesome instructor. RIP Dan you are missed and will never be forgotten.
