Dan lives on and will continue to do so. When it comes to living life, Dan set the standard (and the bar is high). We can never forget him: no one he ever met could ever forget him; so he lives on.I am not sure exactly when or where I met Dan: I can't precisely remember.. in the late 70s in Paris or maybe London. But once we did meet, he immediately became part of my life: a randomly recurring part of its fabric.One reason it is difficult to single out any particular episode of Dan's interaction with anyone's world is that every one of them was exceptional: with Dan there anything could happen, and it was unlikely to be normal. Picking one out seems unfair! But the one I would choose is when Dan flew over from the States to take care of the barbecue at my 50th birthday party in the south of France in 2003; or maybe lunch in London Zoo in 1983? Or Fasching in Munich a few years later... when he came to see us in Mill Neck in 2002 and gave Linda a huge and stunning canvas painted by an artist he knew in New York in the 60s. The flat in Paris with the pinball machines my kids played on; or the one in London with the Warhols; or when he came to stay a few months....Dan definitely lives on......
