I only knew Father Dan, for a few short yrs of my very young life and student of Galveston Tx St Mary's.Yet in that short time, he became very important to me. I recall one school day when I had been talking so the teacher had me stand in the corner. In walked Father Dan, and I did not want him to see me, so I turned away, then he walked up to me and I looked back, I saw he had his back to, and his hand was behind his back, just in front of me, with a quarter and I accepted it quickly and I recall thinking how he had cheered me up and I will never forget him. I loved him very much, and I know he loved us all in Galveston. I miss him very much. I have tried to find photos of him, and thrilled to see this old video.
