My mentor, role model, and friend, Dan Jones.
I first met Dan when I joined the Boy Scouts in 1974. He led us on many camping trips and miles of backpacking all across the state, and many miles up and down the Appalachian Trail. Later, when I was an adult leader, Dan helped me drag many more Scouts up and down the mountains, across the country, and teach life skills to another generation or two.
At 80, Dan was a groomsman in my wedding. He is 96 now, and still very active. The past couple of years, he's gone on our church mission trip to Kentucky.
On Veterans Day, he was guest on a local radio program, Grace Notes on Life 103.1, and talked mostly about his wartime experiences in the Pacific.
An amazing man and story...well worth 22 minutes of your weekend.
