I do cherish the 3 years Dan and I spent getting to know one another at Purdue University and Los Alamos National Laboratory. We followed that period by 14 years of marriage. I'll always remember meeting him for the first time on the steps of the Physics Building at Purdue University. Since he looked like a studious graduate student, I figured he'd know where the lab for heat, electricity and optics was going to be held later that week, so I asked him. When I arrived at the lab for class--low and behold--Dan was the Teaching Assistant! He waited until all students left at the end of class--encouraging the ones who lingered to move along and only I remained. (I wanted to be the last to leave! He'd left quite an impression on me.) From behind his bench, he reached for a red rose he'd hidden and presented it to me. I blushed as red as the rose. Later I learned he'd traded lab assignments with another graduate student, so he would be the instructor for my class! Dan remained as clever as can be. What an amazing man! Utter brilliance was shared between he and his brothers: Ted, who passed in 2011 and his surviving, younger brother, Mike. I'll always keep Dan and his family dear to my heart and in my prayers. Love from your former wife, Anne.
