Dan was principal when my children were at Moon School. One day, Dan was on the roof, observing the kids as they were leaving school for the day. He saw my son doing something and boomed in his most authoritative voice: KEVIN SCOTT!!!!! Stop that right now. Dan laughed as he told me how Kevin stopped in his tracks and looked around as if he had heard the voice of God.
Dan was a wonderful human being who will be missed by many.
My sympathy to Linda and the family.
Mr. Poort was my middle school teacher at Nelson. He was one of my favorites.
He made learning fun and I caught on quickly because he would spend time with all of us to make sure we were doing our assignments correctly.
May He rest peacefully. I'm sure he
will have a great heavenly assignment.
