Dan Mckinley
Dan and Al Ortwein (above) rented a house in Baltimore with me and another Coast Guard officer
and a conscientious objector in 1968. I was a green ensign and Dan was like a good-natured, worldly big brother. He introduced me to jazz, not “smooth” jazz, but cool jazz. I recently found some reel-to-reel tapes I made from his albums. I didn’t take to it then, but eventually I turned to jazz years later, just like the Chivas Regal he offered me at the time. More recently he has been sending out e mails with links to geographic sites, and some quirky cartoons and jokes. You never knew what was going to pop up on the screen. I was happy for him when I had heard he married Wilma and had a son Danny;
he deserved to be happy. My condolences to you
Wilma and Danny on your loss. May your memories of Dan comfort you.
