This message is intended for lurkers of this board and those who only knew Dan from this forum.

I apologize for the post sounding like the Drew Allen fan who visited last year, but this needs to be posted with the tournament, as Tom posted above, being 11 days away.

If you knew him in real life, then you obviously don't need me to tell you why you need to be at this event.

But for my friends here who didn't get to meet him, please read:

You see for about 5-6 years that's all I knew him as, Orangeyes. I knew that he made the start of my days a heck of a lot better because I'd read those articles, but that's about it. He made me look like a genius at work, quite frankly, with all the stories I knew about.

Fast forward to, as I documented in this story: [url]http://www.cnycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=1069361#.U_KuKE3jiM8[/url]

...When I first finally got to interact with Dan and eventually meet him. My life was changed forever and he created a friendship that I'll always cherish.

There's many of you that I haven't met, that perhaps I'll get to meet at the Orangeyes Open and perhaps spark a friendship.

Obviously, and unfortunately, those of you who didn't meet him in person or perhaps only in passing weren't able to be blessed by his friendship.

But you can now, do your best to honor him. Honor the man that he was and his legacy that will live here and in this entire town forever.

WAR DAMN ORANGEYES!
