Yes, I remember Dana Fish well. Dana and a few of us drove to Florida for Spring Break - using Dana's family florist van. I think we all got sunburned pretty bad - me, Dana, Willie, John; I can't recall who else. I was in the service when I received the terrible news about Dana and the vehicular accident - devastating.
