I was so sorry to learn of Danny's death.  I haven't seen him since high school but I remember clearly his warm smile and friendly words.  He will be missed.

Here's a great interview with him:

Hey boys and girls, how about putting these heartfelt sentiments on Danny Brown's In Memory page?  He deserves that.

Becky Payne (Shockley)

Thanks, Stephanie. I just read that interview and it is fascinating! I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to Danny about Asian art, since I've acquired a few pieces of art and calligraphy as gifts from my visits to China over the years,and I love Chinese paintings. And Steve's suggestion to put this on the Memory page is a good one!

I enjoyed the article posted by Stephanie. Thank you! 
The picture of Danny and Anna-Marie from our Remembrancer is one of my favorites.

Reading the many warm remembrances of Danny Brown I wonder if there's any truth to the idea that it takes a person's death to bring out the feelings people had but didn't express during his or her life. I was in a class or two with Danny, didn't know him well, wasn't in the same type of activities, but to go from the particular to the general I wonder, over the years, among the - what, about 350 people - what words of praise were never spoken, what secret crushes stayed secret, and conversely what callous insults were never answered. There were the well-known high school romances between the football stars and the cheerleaders, the cavalier comments with the racist or other elitist undertones, and everything in between most of which I could never imagine. The bottom line is, if it's good do it now; if it's bad forgive and forget. Probably in many cases these things have already happened, but it's still worth a moment's thought.

I need help on a subject I know nothing about - burning DVDs.  I have many of my uncle's movies on my cable DVR.  That machine is close to the end of its life and I would lose all the movies at that point.  A rep from the Sony store I got the tv from was here for a different issue.  I explained about my uncle's movies and what I wanted to do.  When we went to the other tv that has the main DVR he saw I have a combined VHS/DVR machine.  He said I could burn discs directly from one machine to the other.  I don't know how to do this and don't know important things needed to compare things.  I first need reference material to understand the process (Missing Manual doesn't have anything on this!).  Then I need reference material on how to do it.  Anyone who has useful information can private message me.  Thanks for your help.

Hello Nancy, 

Since this might be useful to others as well I'll put it here. I haven't done this myself but I've found YouTube tutorials to be extremely valuable in other areas.

Paul- Thanks for your help.

May Mike's memory always be a blessing.

Oops!  I deleted my previous post. Had a senior moment. I blame it on getting a booster shot today. Sorry for any panic I created!! 

Larry Klein

Glad to know I'm still here, Ann. 😏

Nelson Abanto

You were almost canceled, Larry!😳

Larry Klein

It's been tried more than once, Nelson.  Still here and kickin'.  In fact, recently beat my age on the links for the third year in a row....fired a 73 at A.J, Jolly course in NKY.

Hoping everyone is laying low and avoiding the COVID scourge going around. My Moderna shots from the VA seem to be working just fine.

Sandy Steele (Bauman)

Glad you are still with us Larry! My Moderna shots are working as well. Hope to see you in June.

Nelson Abanto

Hi everyone,  I hope all is well.  I am told someone is using my name on LinkedIn to solicit business.  It is not me.  I don't have a LinkedIn account.  Best to all, Nelson 

Larry Klein

That's a bummer Nelson, and on your birthday to boot.  Happy Birthday old man. Hope you're climbing a 14er to celebrate.

Sandy Steele (Bauman)

Happy Birthday Nelson! Hope you and Cindy are doing great, and hope you are having a nice day!

Hello Friends! Fred and I attended Mike's Celebration of Life last weekend here in AZ. A very special evening was beautifully orchestrated by his wife, Julie, and the turnout was amazing! Pictured above is brother Neil who was in my brother's class at WHHS. It was a treat to meet the whole family, with lots of laughs and reminiscences. How Mike is missed and so dearly remembered...RIP

Sandy Steele (Bauman)

Linda, so happy you could attend. I believe Mike's son lives in Silverthorne, Coloradao, where my son and daughter in law, just bought a house. 

Gail Weintraub (Stern)

Linda, thank you for posting the photo from Mike's Celebration of Life and for physically representing our WHHS Class of '64. Besides my remembrance, did any other classmates send in remembrances to be read at the event?

Laura Reid (Pease)

Linda, how wondeful that you could be at Mike's memorial!  What a great photo.  Love to you!!

Was watching the UC football game today when all of a sudden the announcers launched into a discussion about Mr Giacometti!  Was very great.  I didn't know anything about his background.  But, I do now.  And so does a national audience about this 102 year old Walnut Hills HS teacher and coach.  Wow is all I can say.  Hat a role model.

Bruce Bittmann

Whoops.  He's only 101.

Ann Shepard (Rueve)

Funny you should mention him. His picture just popped up in my Facebook memories from a WHHS Foundation dinner in 2015 (it's 20th year). He was only 95. You may also recognize a couple of "youngsters" who also attended.
