Knowing who u are in real life your book was authentic to who u are. It’s an in site of a man who lived the sport and loved his job. U were so dedicated to details of being prepared but also so personal and authentic. U said it like it was but were also the kindest human. We miss your voice on the air but can hear it through your words on the pages. Miss u Dan loved every road trip of a life time we took. After every game we went to in Vancouver we would run to our car and put the radio on and listen to u. It made the drive back to Chilliwack worth it. Called in many times and u always answered every question or comment with class!!!

Slow start, then really picks up. Lots of information on the dynamics of broadcasting and radio personalities. Good photos and a pleasant read!

Only at page 10 and i recall my own moment with Dan……I was driving Dan out to an advertiser for a meeting….and on the radio an announcement came on and Dan and i looked at each other shocked…..In those days AIDS was the signal of Death and we just did not know how to put the disease into a context like we do now……Magic Johnson was diagnosed with Aids…..Dans thinking …how am i going to deal with this on my Show….it’s a moment in my mine i remember many years later….But Dan always dealt with things in a thoughtful manner…..!
