[JarHeadJim]

Doers anyone have a hook up for this to be done! Dan got me this huge honor in 2010. Is anyone here friends with Joanne Mahoney the County Exective? They come from her office.

This is the one I received.

I'd think that this would also be worth pursuing.

Seems Dan would be a shoe-in based on that criteria.

In my opinion he meets all 3, but I'm biased. He was a great athlete. He definitely nails the second criteria and I have included a link for that. And I think what he accomplished for the university meets #3. It's flattering just to see both of your suggestions jarhead and beavo. Thank you.

This is the one I received.

I might be able to help with both of these.

 

[CaptainJ]

Bump. Great ideas, first attempt HOFer without a doubt.

 

[DCCuse]

I might be able to help with both of these.

On #1, will know tomorrow thanks to the efforts of dadarules. I may not directly be able to do something, but I know the right people to hopefully make it happen.

Thanks Rick! It's the least we can do for Dan.

 

[SmilinBob]

That would be nice but I have to admit that every day I go to this site it is Dan Johnson Day and see the daily articles.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Great job Rick!!

 

[DCCuse]

Great job Rick!!

Thanks, but also couldn't have got it done without the help of dadarules and the words of SUTomcat. The folks in Joanie Mahoney's office were amazing and so appreciative that they could turn this around so quickly.

Thanks much to dadarules and DCCuse for their efforts. Here is the Johnson family with the proclaimation:

 

[Dadarules]

I am so happy this proclamation got done - such the right thing to do by the county to officially recognize what Dan has done selflessly for some many peoole and for what he represents.

As Rick texted me, getting the proclamation done was a team effort. I was the smallest part of that team. Great job Rick, Tomcat & Jarhead Jim along with my friend who brought this to Joanie coordinated everything in the county to get it done.

I wish I could have gone today but I am in Florida for work.

Amazing! This really is an awesome community.
