Tribute to Uncle Dan


When Jack was born, Dan drove to Memphis twice in two weeks to introduce himself as Uncle Dan. Since then, he has been the best Uncle Dan there ever was. Even living in Pasadena, California, Uncle Dan visits at least a couple times a year. When Ingrid was born, Dan flew to Memphis just for the weekend so that he could to meet his niece. Every time he travels, to Hawaii or Burning Man, he sends his nephew and niece a postcard. He changes diapers, gives piggy back rides, reads books, and takes naps. He is a great uncle. During Uncle Dan's last visit, Uncle Dan taught Jack to say, "Beat down!" This was part of a great wrestling move. I don't think Ingrid and Jack could ask for a better cool dude to call their uncle. (And he's a pretty great brother-in-law too.)
